My biggest pet peeve, I guess, is other comedians criticizing Larry the Cable Guy.
I believe everything creative is somewhat collaborative. If you're a painter and someone stretches your canvas, it was collaborative on some level.
I really understood a lot more about comedy after listening to Bill Hicks, who died at 32 years old. He's probably the best comedian who ever lived. Although you can't say that because of Carlin, Cosby and Pryor.
When I was a kid, mostly I played in a ditch that didn't have much water in it. It was for drainage purposes. There was not a lot trouble to get into in that ditch. It was ditch activities like catching crawdads and minnows.
Think of The Rontourage as the Ron White Channel, where you can see us getting into trouble in all kinds of different places.
My favorite bands are the Allman Brothers and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
I love Cincinnati, but you can keep that spaghetti chili product!

If you watch the 'Blue Collar Comedy Tour,' don't expect that when you come see me by myself, 'cause it's a little rougher.
I was by far the least popular of the Blue Collar crew when we started. There was a definite pecking order, and everybody knew it.
I don't watch Comedy Central. I don't enjoy it.

I write these shows one joke at a time. There's no continuity. I do try to figure an order to the stories, but there's not continuity.
A killer Cuban restaurant with a giant cigar bar. Have me a Cuban sandwich. That's just like heaven to me. I'm a simple man.
Don't bring your kids to my show, and I won't come to your house and cuss.
I do a lot of gay-friendly stuff in my show, and men, women, they all love it. I practice non-judgment in my daily life and hope other people do the same thing.
It never dawned on me that I had the option of becoming a comedian. I come from a little dirt street town in northwest Texas, and they really don't talk about the arts there much on career day.
Pace, rhythm and timing. Pace, rhythm and timing is what it's about. The content's got to be great, but then it's got to be delivered. It's a tricky thing to do, and it takes a lot of work.
There have been times in my life that I've had a ton of vices, and my demons have run amok for years and years and years.
Diamonds - that'll shut her up... for a minute!
