"My show was revolutionary, ground-breaking. When I came on the scene, people were not doing a thing."
"There are things that I won't do on the radio. I mean, the next logical question is, what won't you do. I say, well, you know, you've got to find out when you're on the air."
"I still feel like I gotta prove something. There are a lot of people hoping I fail. But I like that. I need to be hated."
"Okay, well, I guess I'm still a kid. Because when I get really angry and fired up and I feel like my back is up against the wall, I will say vicious things."
"Late night television is ready for someone like me... standards have gone to an all-time low."
"I seem to be some sort of lightning rod. I just really irritate people, you know? I really do."
"I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock."
