I generally have a real strong idea or a strong punchline, and I just try to get to it by rambling around, as I don't like to memorize words.
Norm MacDonald
Image
Hypocrisy is the outward acknowledgment of inward shame.
Norm MacDonald
Image
Happiness is less regulated by external circumstances than inward enjoyment. Whoever is happy in the satisfaction of himself feels imperturbable felicity but he, who trusts entirely to the world for the disposition of his peace, must inevitably participate [in] many privations and disappointments.

Image
All that weak people learn from disappointment, is less confidence in future enterprise.
Norm MacDonald
Image
I don't care for sex. I find it an embarrassing, dull exercise. I prefer sports, where you can win.

Image
They say that if you're afraid of homosexuals, it means that deep down inside you're actually a homosexual yourself. That worries me because I'm afraid of dogs.
Norm MacDonald
Image
I have always loved Las Vegas. It's a traditional place for lounge comics to perform, and I love that.
Norm MacDonald
Image
The man that does not fear punishment, little regards crime.
Norm MacDonald
Image
The first principle of solid wisdom is discretion, without it all the erudition of life is merely bagatelle.
Norm MacDonald
Image
I started on 'Saturday Night Live' the same time Conan started on 'Late Night.' We just had a relationship because I would be upstairs in the studio and whenever he couldn't get a guest - which was often back then since he was just starting out - he would just call me down to be a guest.

I got my computer. The great thing about the computer is that you only need enough money to buy a computer and some food, and you're all right. I don't have to go to premières.

We would seldom be deceived by flattery, did our own conceit not promote the delusion.

Richard Pryor is my favorite stand-up ever.

It is easier to hate those we love, than love those whom we have hated.
