QUOTES BY Ralphie May

Some nights you walk off stage and go 'That was a good crowd.'

I don't get much respect from the industry in general, but that's OK. I didn't get into it for respect. I got into it to make people laugh, and that's what I'm doing. That's all I give a damn about.

The comedians I always loved and respected the most were always filthy degenerates.

When I was up for the film 'Dreamcatcher,' to play the role of an overweight kid, I was told I'm too fat to play the fat guy. That's like telling a Mexican to get a tan.

I loved 'Celebrity Fit Club,' working out six days a week, running a mile and a half three times a week, and doing 1,000 crunches and sit-ups a day with a trainer. I did too much, but I lost 78 pounds of fat and 18 inches around my waist in four months.

I've been enjoying classes at the gym, where people look at me because I'm fat. At the end of the workout, they're sucking air and I've beaten them because I have more heart, because I had it much harder.

I think there's a bias against fat people on network television.

I don't like being run out of any town.

I wouldn't want my comedy show to hurt anybody. I'm not Donald Trump.

I never wanted to be known as a fat comic, just a comic who happens to be fat.
