“Somehow bowel wisdom got lost and it became something that no one wanted to talk about anymore.”

In times past, knowledge of the bowel was more widespread and people were taught how to care for the bowel.

In the 50 years I’ve spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most peoples’ health problems.

That cactus went right through my eye. It left my eye flat. They took me to a doctor, and he said, ‘We’ll have to take the eye out.’ …I fought like a tiger. I said, ‘No! Leave the eye alone.

I am sure it will grow back.’ The doctor said, ‘You’re too young to know.’ …But in a year’s time that fluid came back, and that eye is just as good as the other one today.

The Republican Party has become overwhelmingly so extreme that it’s hardly a traditional political party anymore.

You 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.

We don’t have any real sense of community anymore.

You believe in God, then you don’t believe anymore and when you have a big problem, you pray anyway.

I think drugs affect poor people and people of color more than anyone.
