I was so in love with the idea of making people laugh for a living that I didn’t care what I had to do to get there. Or how much money I was going to make when I did get there.
I was considered by my peers to be a good comedian. So that’s all I ever strived to do was get some recognition from my peers.
I’ve never been one to look up the ladder. I’ve always looked down the ladder. As long as there’s one guy down there, I’m fine.
I have had a front row seat to observe Darren’s success over the last few years and never fully knew the keys to his achievement. He has unselfishly revealed his secrets with The Compound Effect so that others can learn from his success. In my eyes, it is more valuable than gold!
Everybody I know is a joke writer.
You wanna get the truth out of me, get me hammered.
You can’t ride home on a bowl of goat.
If life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade...
Apparently I ain’t the only cat on the block digs cheetos.
I don’t even plan things until later, so no I got no plans.
When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Then find someone whose life gave them tequila and have a party.
In my Comedy Club sets, I just work on what is fresh and try to build that show as long as I can. I don’t like to do burnt material on stage. Even though my crowd loves to hear me do old stuff, I don’t like to do old stuff.
From the very beginning I started with a beer and a cigarette because I couldn’t figure out what to do with my hands. So usually I have a beer and cigarette and that’s what I was doing with my hands because that looked natural and felt good.
Why does a pair of sunglasses cost more than a 25 inch color television?
It’s something that’s really fun to do. It’s a family business.
I smoke really good cigars, I don’t smoke Cuban cigars. I would never do anything as Un-American as smoke a decent cigar.
I don’t do any corporate work.
If you kill someone in Texas, we’ll kill ya back.
The hardest that I’ve laughed at a movie was probably Team America. I laughed ’til I thought I was just gonna throw up. I almost had to turn it off.
Anybody could say anything they want about me, and it literally never penetrates my skin.
