The Marines gave me a really strong sense of discipline and a work ethic that kicks in at my job.

I'm a big believer in overcoming and achieving and doing things and not feeling sorry for yourself.

I'm down to earth; people sense that and they appreciate it.

It doesn't matter how smart you are; to audition for 'Jeopardy,' you just have to luck out and know what they're asking you that day.

My fans are pretty normal, they are always really nice and polite, and they don't interrupt my meals.

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 love the normalcy of Cleveland. There's regular people there.

Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan. They'd all fit more under the Libertarian label than the modern day Republican label.

I'm never afraid to die. I think that's the best thing that can happen to somebody is they get to move on and do something better.

I am happy that I ran the half-marathon, but to me, just running and saying that I finished a race isn't enough for me. I want to run the race as best as I can. Working out for pants size isn't enough. I need a goal or a race to get back on the treadmill every day.

I looked at game show hosting as the bottom of the totem pole, one step away from infomercials. I never watched them myself. However, it's been a lot of fun.

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.

I love doing 'The Price is Right.' It's so much fun. I love meeting everybody and giving out prizes, especially when it's not my money. It's really a happy place, and everybody is all jazzed up.

I've got to say that I don't see myself as some sort of political type like Alec Baldwin or Barbra Streisand. I don't want to come across like that. I'd be embarrassed if that was the way I came across.

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.

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.

I love Las Vegas. I like that Las Vegas has everything. Everything and anything you want to do, you can do in Las Vegas. You can pretty much do it all day and all night if you want to.

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.

When the show's in production, we work for three weeks at a time and then take a week off.

Nevada's one of the most conservative states in the Union, but you can do what you want in Vegas and nobody judges you.

As far as your personal goals are and what you actually want to do with your life, it should never have to do with the government. You should never depend on the government for your retirement, your financial security, for anything. If you do, you're screwed.

I'm the kind of person that likes what I'm doing when I'm doing it.

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 used to go to the Cleveland Comedy Club all the time. If there was a comic I liked, I'd go see him two or three times that week. Bob Saget was one of those guys.

If you're wearing a Bluetooth thing and you've got that thing on your belt, you are working for somebody else. You are not the guy in charge. That's a really good social status indicator.

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.

Even when people are rich and successful on TV shows, there's always some trouble - you have to poke holes in them, throw them out of a job, put a pie in the face.

The hardest diet I was ever on was the one when I was fat. You can only wear fat clothes, you don't feel good, your sex life gets damaged, you don't have energy for anything. It's horrible.

I don't have a Bluetooth thing on my ear. That bugs me.

Exercise is the main thing that helped me lose weight.

I don't know, people take chances on stage. It's a big free speech zone, a comedy show. So sometimes things happen, you say things that are a little bit off the edge.

Libertarians are essentially what the Republicans were 30 years ago. Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan. They'd all fit more under the Libertarian label than the modern day Republican label.

At 'Price Is Right,' people feel so safe there and loved. And if you can't jump around on 'Price is Right,' then you can't jump around anywhere, you know?

TV is easier: it's all planned out for you, and the audience is there to see a show and they are all pumped up, but when you are in a comedy club, you have to be really funny to win them over. To me, that's more pure.

Reality shows always look for the worst people.

If I wasn't a comic or TV star, I really wanted to be a photojournalist.

I see my face in the mirror and go, 'I'm a Halloween costume? That's what they think of me?'

What also helps our show is that we never take ourselves seriously.

We'll never see national shows with 45 shares again.

The first Monopoly game I played with my brothers, I hated losing so much, I just had to beat them.

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.

Nothing's funny about someone who's successful.

Like I said, all comedy is based on exaggeration, big or small, whatever you can get away with.

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.

I'm competitive at everything.

I wanted to do a show based on what my life would be like if I had never become a comedian.

I don't miss the economic insecurity, the living paycheck to paycheck.

I don't care if my jokes are appropriate for a kid.

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.

Everybody in Hollywood loves symbolic gestures.
