RON WHITEWhen I was about 12 years old back in Houston, my Dad used to take us to the driving range.
RON WHITEA 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.
RON WHITEThere 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.
RON WHITEYou know, my first album, some of those jokes I’d done for twelve years because I couldn’t throw ’em out.
RON WHITEI always wanted to be a popular comedian.
RON WHITEWhen I was 20, I used to go around telling stories, and I knew where I was comfortable – onstage, talking, making ’em laugh and listen to the weirdest things. I liked being the center of attention.
RON WHITEThe first thing I ever got my hands on was Andy Griffith’s ‘What It Was, Was Football.’ I was fascinated with the fact that every syllable made it funny, and I would laugh even though I didn’t know what any of it meant.
RON WHITEI was desperate for new material, so anything I can write a joke about that works is in the act. No matter who it offends, or who it bothers – doesn’t matter if its something my wife hates.
RON WHITEI loved listening to laughter even as a little kid.

RON WHITEHere’s how I operate. When I see something I like, 20 years later, I ask her brother for her phone number. She don’t even see me coming.
RON WHITEMovies are boring. It’s like watching paint dry. I did a little role in a movie, and it was eight lines. I was there for three days. It’s just horrible.
RON WHITETV is a hard job. You work 15 hours a day. People tell you what to do. I hate to do it.
