“Everybody had nicknames when I was a kid.” — Soupy Sales Quote

Everybody had nicknames when I was a kid.

When I was doing my show in the '60s, the PTA objected because it thought I was saying 'dese, dem and dose' instead of 'these, them and those,' which was ridiculous.

People who tell me Detroit is dull are wrong.

It's good to have someplace to work.

As a writer, I need a creative outlet and that's why I do stand-up.

I don't need any nicknames.

Nicknames stick to people, and the most ridiculous are the most adhesive.

I love nicknames. It makes me feel loved. It makes me feel less alone in this world.

I don't like nicknames, to be honest.

I like 'Stifle Tower,' I like 'Gobzilla.' There's a lot of nicknames that are pretty cool.
