Rick Shapiro is a top comedian.
I think I could create a cult, no problem. The hard part is getting people to kill themselves.
I will always be mad at someone. That will never go away.
I really didn’t know much about the Libertarians. I knew they were for less government and more individual freedom. I liked that.
Well, first of all, I’m worth every penny.
I believe I am doing the work for humanity. This show is so uplifting.
I don’t talk about my salary.
I feel blessed, I really feel fulfilled.
I think people of lesser talent will become stars.
I wanted to go hide. I wasn’t looking to be more famous, I’m famous enough.
I will never feel successful.
I’m on the air five hours, and I blurt out anything in my head. Dangerous? Maybe.
I’m the voice of honesty.
I’ve actually apologized to some people I was a real jerk to, because I feel ashamed. I didn’t need to be that hungry. There was something going on inside me when I was angry and feeling very threatened and not feeling good about myself.
I’ve come to appreciate other people’s talents.
There are things that I won’t do on the radio. I mean, the next logical question is, what won’t you do. I say, well, you know, you’ve got to find out when you’re on the air.
I’ve always thought that a name says a lot about a person. So naturally, being named Howard, I always wanted to crawl into a hole.
There’s a saying that my mom actually used to say to me when I was a kid, which is, “A fatherless child thinks all things are possible and nothing is safe.
But it comes from someplace that knows who you are. I think that we can decide if we can be great or not.
You can’t be a rebel if there aren’t any rules.
Nothing is casual. Everything requires work, research, and thought. Agonize. Take it seriously. Don’t leave it up to someone else, and don’t phone it in. There is no such thing as a shortcut if you are going to turn in good work. If I ever enjoy the process, I know I have somehow produced something worthless.
