Zitat des Tages von Ron White:
I don't do talk shows or go on Dr. Phil's show. He's a friend of mine, and, no, he doesn't give me any advice. He doesn't give solicited advice.
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.
If I see someone out there mouthing the words to a bit, I'm not having fun.
Anybody could say anything they want about me, and it literally never penetrates my skin.
There have been times when I played more than others, but I've been a road comic for a quarter of a century, so I've always played golf on the road because you have a lot of time to kill.
I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.
I'm not willing to drag my fans down a road I don't believe in. That's just my one little principle. I've only got one, and that's it.
But I work harder now because I have so much more exposure. And actually the harder you work as a writer, the better you get at it. It's like anything else. It's a muscle you have to exercise. I write more now than ever.
If I'm not in the theatre, I'm in an open mic night or doing a guest set at the Comedy Club, or whatever, just trying to develop stuff.
I've been offered starring roles in horrible movies, but I just didn't want to do it. I don't see why you would.
The next time you have a thought... let it go.
I was desperate for new material, so anything I can write a joke about that works is in the act. No matter who it offends, or who it bothers - doesn't matter if its something my wife hates.
I've got a great cigar collection - it's actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn't going to smoke every last one of 'em.
My shows are not all-the-way filthy, but they can be.
There have been times in my life that I've had a ton of vices, and my demons have run amok for years and years and years.
If you look at the common denominator of all the comics who have had big success, it's being true to their nature... that's what takes a long time to learn.
The only way to stay sharp is to do live shows. There is no part-time comedy.
I'm not the judge of who that is, but I am a believer that no debt in the universe goes unpaid. If you try to buy early, you'll pay late.
When I was 20, I used to go around telling stories, and I knew where I was comfortable - onstage, talking, making 'em laugh and listen to the weirdest things. I liked being the center of attention.
My only goal is to make you laugh, not tell you the truth.
I go to more open mic nights than open mikers.
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.
I was a huge fan of comedy when I was a child.
I don't watch Comedy Central. I don't enjoy it.
Think of The Rontourage as the Ron White Channel, where you can see us getting into trouble in all kinds of different places.
My biggest pet peeve, I guess, is other comedians criticizing Larry the Cable Guy.
I think honest communication, no matter where it comes from, is positive for a relationship.
My goal is just to become a better comedian.
It never dawned on me that I had the option of becoming a comedian. I come from a little dirt street town in northwest Texas, and they really don't talk about the arts there much on career day.
I begged the universe to make me a famous comedian, and it did. So I tend not to ask for any more.
Diamonds - that'll shut her up... for a minute!
There's not a pill you can take; there's not a class you can go to. Stupid is forever.
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. So I do very, very little of it.
People are saying that I'm an alcoholic, and that's not true, because I only drink when I work, and I'm a workaholic.
I was by far the least popular of the Blue Collar crew when we started. There was a definite pecking order, and everybody knew it.
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.
