Sam Kinison's Quotes

  • I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years.
  • [Joseph, dealing with the Virgin Birth] You better be the son of God, little mister - and you better be the only son of God.
  • You don't know what a rough crowd is. If all I have to do is go make people laugh, that's nothing. Let me tell you what a tough crowd is. A tough crowd is going to a morning service and you got six people there and you gotta pay your house payment. That's a tough crowd.
  • Every generation has someone who steps outside the norm and offers a voice for the unspeakable attitudes of that time. I represent everything that's supposed to be wrong, everything that's forbidden.
