Zitat des Tages von Bill Engvall:
In syndication, the biggest buyers are car dealerships.
I come from a time when people like Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby told stories that were devastatingly funny without being off-color.
I'm a California Angels fan because that's the first game my dad took me to see, and they stuck with me.
I have been passed over on some things because people didn't think I was edgy enough. But the people who took those gigs are gone now, and I am still here.
I've learned in my older age that sexy gets you further than brains.
People all over are finding themselves in jobs they never thought they'd be in.
Left to my own vices, all I would own is a Corvette, and it would be broken down.
Now people live into their 90s and beyond. As long as I have quality of life, I'm good.
My favorite road trip ever is when my wife and I took an RV around the country. We just had the best time.
I love playing the bitter guy.
Standup is a form of therapy. It is OK to tell problems to your audience as long as you are being honest and not boring them. I tell them that I am saving $75 an hour when I talk to them instead of a therapist.
I've really got no complaints.
I hate stupid people. They should have to wear signs that just say, 'I'm stupid.'
I have fun on stage, so people think maybe they should, too.
I think you can ban guns if you can just pull the trigger and 60 bullets fire out.
The one thing people like about my show is it's universal. Everybody can relate to it. I think people enjoy going to a show and saying, 'Something like that happened to me.'
As my wife says, I'll never fully retire, but it'll start to slow down. I'll continue to do the local gigs or go to Las Vegas. But I won't be going out to Ohio to play an Indian casino anymore. Those will probably go by the wayside.
I eat fish, chicken, vegetables and other healthier foods. I do love a great steak.
What I do is not regional comedy, and it is not based in the southern area.
I was doing a bit that stupid people should be slapped. But the more I did it, the more I didn't like that connotation, the violence and all that. The more I thought about it, I thought they should just wear signs. And, man, it just took off.
I'm a big animal fanatic.
America loves to watch people growing and getting better.
I'm a blue collar guy.
I love to laugh, and laughter is one of my favorite things. When you have a really good laugh, you feel great afterwards.
There's a reason God didn't give me this success in my 20s, because I'd have blown it.
I came out of the mall one day, and a guy was standing there with a coat hanger in his window, and I couldn't stop myself. I asked the stupid question. 'You lock your keys in the car?' 'Nope, just washed it, gonna hang it up to dry.'
My belief is that if we take away that right to bear arms, the only people that are going to have them are... the ones breaking into your house.
I'm from Texas. You would think my biggest draw would be in that state. But my biggest draw is Pennsylvania.
I am feeling older every day.
