“I went into Vietnam as a young man like John Wayne, because that's wha...” — Paul Raci Quote

“I went into Vietnam as a young man like John Wayne, because that's what my grandfather told me to do. But after my four year experience in the war, I came out as Lenny Bruce.”

“My father died a happy, peaceful man.”

“When I was a kid in Chicago, it was looked upon as something that you had to fix - that you were broken. If you're hearing-impaired, you're broken. Or if you're deaf, there's something wrong with you.”

“I want to write the reparations joke that makes people go, 'Yay! I'm so happy!' It's easy to go onstage and just make fun of all the 'isms' instead, but we can't all be Jeff Dunham. Although that pays very well... it pays way better to be Jeff Dunham than it ever paid to be George Carlin or Lenny Bruce.”

“I loved reading when the critics in New York would say that some of my films reminded them of Lenny Bruce.”

“I want to get to the point where one day I don't have to have anything but a rug and a microphone stand on stage and still be able to sell out places like Madison Square Garden, like Bruce Springsteen does.”
