I've actually been doing stand up for more than 20 years. I started in 1988. It's almost 30 years! Which is crazy.

More quotes by Joe Rogan
No matter how civilized we are and how much society has curbed violent behavior. Human beings still have the same genes they had 10,000 years ago. Our bodies are designed to have a certain amount of physical stress and violence in them. We're designed to run from jaguars and fight to defend our territory.
Joe Rogan
When you're standing around for an hour doing stand up it's no big deal but when you're standing around watching a show for an hour - it's a big difference. It's annoying - your feet hurt, your back hurts - it's just not the most comfortable way to see stand-up comedy.
Joe Rogan
Anytime we go to a new town I try to book a show. I literally know nothing about the club.
Joe Rogan
I want to talk about the nature of human beings or how we're evolving as a race.
Joe Rogan
It's a very strange thing when you make nature illegal.
Joe Rogan
Although not considered a martial art, boxing is really a martial art. It's a very limited martial art as long as you agree to just box... but in an actual physical fight against someone who's just a wrestler, you're going to get killed.
Joe Rogan
What's interesting about science is that we're constantly discovering new things about the universe, about ourselves, about our bodies, about diseases, about the possibilities of the future. It's amazing. Science is one of the coolest things about being a human being - without a doubt.
Joe Rogan
Maybe we can combine 2 things that everybody loves. Helping out the poor and blow jobs.
Joe Rogan
I always do that at the end of shows, like a Q&A session. First of all it lets people know that this isn't some preprogrammed, press-play show where I have to say the exact same words in the exact same order. That's part of the thing with live comedy is that people like the fun aspect of it and I enjoy the taking questions part.
Joe Rogan
Dick Gregory was a great comedian who went and got arrested, did hunger strikes, protests. It never hurt his career to be outspoken.
Joe Rogan
I had seen movies before that that had made me laugh, but I had never seen anything even remotely close to as funny as Richard Pryor was, just standing there talking.
Joe Rogan
I think comedy because of the Internet it has a bigger audience, a bigger fan base. It has fans that understand comedy more than any generation before because there is more guys like you, more guys like me, more guys like Louie CK who talks about it a lot. When you get a chance to see perspective that I don't think you ever got to see before.
Joe Rogan
No girl wants a secretly gay boyfriend, every dude wants a secretly gay girlfriend.
Joe Rogan
It's not necessarily a brave thing, people talk about what they think about. There's people out there who love to talk about politics or where they think the countries headed. I don't talk about that I talk about...things that are a little trippier.
Joe Rogan
That's my only goal. Surround myself with funny people, and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard.
Joe Rogan
If you can lie, you can act, and if you can lie to crazy girlfriends, you can act under pressure.
Joe Rogan
[Faggot] is a great word! The whole thing about language is, it's supposed to be broadcasting your intentions. These are my intentions and these words broadcast my feelings. If all of a sudden you have forbidden words that doesn't make the intent any better. It's just appeasing sensitive people.
Joe Rogan
I'm really happy that I've been able to make people laugh and distract them from their day to day bullshit at a comedy show or because they enjoyed one of my CDs or TV specials, but I don't know how many people have actually had life changing thoughts because of it.
Joe Rogan
When someone comes along and expresses him or herself as freely as they think, people flock to it. They enjoy it.
Joe Rogan
Also I can come up with new bits - people yell stuff out and it's a new subject or a subject that I've been thinking about that I haven't done onstage yet and I'll just run with it.
