Zitat des Tages von Sam Kinison:
I'd rather entertain people than offend them.
If I've learned one thing, it's 'don't tell the truth.' Lies keep you together.
When has stand-up comedy been kind to anyone? It goes after anyone who's the target. Comedy attacks, man.
I guess they're tough jokes. But there's lots of things you either laugh or cry at. And you just can't cry.
So many people counted on me to be the party, I had to move far enough away that they wouldn't want to drive there.
You don't know what a rough crowd is. If all I have to do is go make people laugh, that's nothing. Let me tell you what a tough crowd is. A tough crowd is going to a morning service and you got six people there and you gotta pat your house payment. That's a tough crowd.
Folks, I've been straight for seventeen days... Not all in a row.
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.
Jesus is still up in Heaven, thumbing through his Bible, going 'Where did I say build a water slide?'
I'm not going to give up the shock part of my comedy.
I have lived a carnal life.
I'm a comedian, and my comedy has never endorsed violence towards gays.
I'm so tired of men who are afraid to hurt women's feelings.
I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years.
It was like going to church, except Ozzy Osbourne was there.
Everything can be satirized.
Obviously I'm not a role model for impressionable youth.
Jim Bakker. He's lost everything, he's ruined. And the worst thing of all he still has to wake up to her!
I'm responsible. I even did a commercial for MTV saying how I was going to register to vote. And I still haven't.
I've never been against women. That anti-feminist rap is bogus. I think men should be nice to women, buy them diamonds.
I guess my main influences are Jesus, rock 'n' roll and ex-wives. In that order.
Society needs a couple of vents that say what you're not supposed to say.
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.
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.
