RON WHITEIf I see someone out there mouthing the words to a bit, I’m not having fun.
RON WHITEThere have been times when I played more than others, but I’ve been a road comic for a quarter of a century, so I’ve always played golf on the road because you have a lot of time to kill.
RON WHITEMy show is more storytelling now than it’s ever been. It’s what I’m good at.
RON WHITEThe way my brain processes information is quite odd. I mean, I have Attention Deficit Disorder and another learning disability I can’t even spell. I don’t even have a high school diploma. I’m smart, but you can’t prove it on paper.
RON WHITEI’ve never been one to look up the ladder. I’ve always looked down the ladder. As long as there’s one guy down there, I’m fine.
RON WHITEPeople are saying that I’m an alcoholic, and that’s not true, because I only drink when I work, and I’m a workaholic.

RON WHITEI’ve got a great cigar collection – it’s actually not a collection, because that would imply I wasn’t going to smoke every last one of ’em.
RON WHITEYou can tell on-stage when a joke’s starting to lose its pop. It doesn’t mean people don’t want to hear it anymore; it means I don’t want to do it anymore. Because I want to move on to something that has a knee-jerk reaction just like you get when you tell somebody a joke that they’ve never heard.
RON WHITETelevision is 15 hour days. Movies are 18 hour days. And it’s 18 hours of doing not a thing.
RON WHITEI love Cincinnati, but you can keep that spaghetti chili product!
RON WHITEI was talking to a guy who was holding his 18-month-old daughter with the only limb he had left, and he had a smile on his face. I thought, ‘I’m not even a 10th of this man.’
