"I was in Rochester, New York. I was an absolutely-nobody part-timer, jack-of-trades; would do whatever the radio station asked of me. And one day, Sam Kinison walked in. The mic went on, and he just spoke his mind. And he was outrageous, he was funny, he was sensitive at times. And a light bulb went off in my head, where I realized, "Oh my god, I can do this different." Just—you gotta just be yourself. … I started blowing off everything I knew about radio after that day."

"I didnt think it was that big of a fucking deal, theres bigger news stories happening. Theres a guy in Milwaukee with heads in his icebox, but our top story is: Sam Kinison missed the Joan Rivers Show. Its like Im the only guy in show business thats fucked up recently. Theres a couple guys that, I think, have like outdone me a little bit. Like Rick fucking James, for starters. I missed a show, I didnt torture a woman with a fucking base pipe, Im not out on $500,000 bail. Im not Billy Preston, whos going "ah, donde esta la fiesta?" How about Axl Rose, who has a warrant out for his arrest in the state of Missouri for inciting a riot, $300,000 worth of damage, 60 people injured, and I MISSED A SHOW!"

"You want to help world hunger? Stop sending them food. Dont send them another bite, send them U-Hauls. Send them a guy that says, "You know, weve been coming here giving you food for about 35 years now and we were driving through the desert, and we realized there wouldnt BE world hunger if you people would live where the FOOD IS! YOU LIVE IN A DESERT!! UNDERSTAND THAT? YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT!! NOTHING GROWS HERE! NOTHINGS GONNA GROW HERE! Come here, you see this? This is sand. You know what its gonna be 100 years from now? ITS GONNA BE SAND!! YOU LIVE IN A FUCKING DESERT! We have deserts in America, we just dont LIVE in them, assholes!"
