What am I responsible for? Who am I responsible to? Everybody? How come when Archie Bunker nailed everybody, it was funny - but when I do it, it's not?
From Sam Kinison
I guess my main influences are Jesus, rock 'n' roll and ex-wives. In that order.
I started saying things in church that didn't meet with a lot of approval - like 'Jesus isn't coming back.' They started throwing Bibles.
I guess they're tough jokes. But there's lots of things you either laugh or cry at. And you just can't cry.
I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years.
I'm attracted to heartbreakers.
If I get married again, I want a guy there with a drum to do rimshots during the vows.
Real comedy doesn't just make people laugh and think, but makes them laugh and change.
I got divorced, which was not a good thing for a revivalist minister. It did not go down well. I'd already been banned from a couple churches for my jokes. So one day I woke up and decided it was time to start living for myself.
Not that I want to put the entire rap music style down - I just don't like it. And I know somewhere there's gotta be another guy like that. There's gotta be a guy just like that - just like me. There's gotta be somebody, somewhere... Maybe, maybe an assassin type.
