Zitat des Tages von Drew Carey:
Hollywood people are filled with guilt: white guilt, liberal guilt, money guilt. They feel bad that they're so rich, they feel they don't work that much for all that money - and they don't, for the amount of money they make.
What also helps our show is that we never take ourselves seriously.
I don't do one show and wish I was doing something else.
I love the normalcy of Cleveland. There's regular people there.
When the show's in production, we work for three weeks at a time and then take a week off.
But I don't want to lose touch with things like eating in Bob's Big Boy.
Some people don't like competition because it makes them work harder, better.
I'm not against ratings per se. I think more information is always good. But I certainly don't think the government has to step in and set guidelines for how shows should be rated.
My fans are pretty normal, they are always really nice and polite, and they don't interrupt my meals.
I learned how to believe in myself. Learned how to set goals, you know, self help books man. I just read every single one I can get a hold of, and I still do.
When I play poker, I don't like losing the pot.
I love Las Vegas. I like that Las Vegas has everything. Everything and anything you want to do, you can do in Las Vegas.
I wanted to do a show based on what my life would be like if I had never become a comedian.
I actually was worried about the pounding, but I actually love running more than working out on the elliptical. Now if I get on the elliptical, I feel like I'm trapped.
There's nothing like the energy in a small comedy club room or a small theater when it's going really well. I can see everybody's face practically in the whole room. There's no cameras in the way, and it's just me.
I don't care if my jokes are appropriate for a kid.
International soccer has been a big part of my love for the sport. I love the Men's National Team. I can say that they're my favorite sports team.
Reality shows always look for the worst people.
Vegas is everything that's right with America. You can do whatever you want, 24 hours a day. They've effectively legalized everything there.
I see my face in the mirror and go, 'I'm a Halloween costume? That's what they think of me?'
I'm competitive at everything.
Nothing's funny about someone who's successful.
Oh, and once, when I was in the Marines, I got a perfect score on my physical fitness test.
When I did Comic Relief, I did it to be on the show; it's a badge of honor as a comedian to do that show.
Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called everybody, and they meet at the bar.
Why is everybody afraid of going to Heaven? You want to be here with the smog and the sin and bad people and the war? Or do you want to be in Heaven, sitting next to Jesus, you know?
That's the great thing about having your friends around you. I've known these guys forever. I really enjoy their company just as people. You couldn't ask for a better work environment.
Liquor prohibition led to the rise of organized crime in America, and drug prohibition has led to the rise of the gang problems we have now.
We'll never see national shows with 45 shares again.
George Carlin is kind of my template now because George Carlin before was straight laced regular comic and he had short hair, a tie, suit, nightclub guy. Then he said screw it, let his hair grow, just started telling what he thought was the truth. So that's what I'm trying to do.
I don't know what people are going to think of my stand-up. If you only know me from 'The Price Is Right' and 'The Drew Carey Show,' then you might be a little bit shocked. I'm a little dirty and a little opinionated but all in fun.
The first Monopoly game I played with my brothers, I hated losing so much, I just had to beat them.
The people of Cleveland hate soccer. But it's my favourite thing and I follow the U.S. men's national team around when they play whenever I can.
People laugh to forget their troubles, and to forget their troubles they like to look at people who aren't doing better than they are.
Nevada's one of the most conservative states in the Union, but you can do what you want in Vegas and nobody judges you.
Like I said, all comedy is based on exaggeration, big or small, whatever you can get away with.
