“I want to talk about being a big guy... it's not a fat joke. It's a joke about living the way you live.”

“Larger people do not get a lot to play in the theater.”

“My routine isn't so much dreaming up the comedy as just seeing what happens to me. I seem to be leading a very funny life.”

“I am kind of a lifelong lose weight, gain weight kind of guy. I'm a big guy; I've always been a big guy.”

“All I'm really doing is talking about going on diets and... just about being a big guy. Why should that be any different from a comic that says, 'I was an alcoholic,' or, 'I was in a bad relationship?'”

“I was just a big guy running down with a big, deep pocket and little short stick putting it against my chest.”
