More from Billy Gardell
I’ve been trying to watch my weight a bit, but when I come to Las Vegas, all bets are off. I get enough healthy food in L.A. where the food is the size of a quarter and costs $40 – when I’m in Vegas, I want a steak!
Billy GardellBilly Gardell Dad had a music store, and he’d often bring home comedy albums that I would listen to. I started listening to Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby, and developing taste. They really influenced my style of comedy.
Billy CrystalBilly Crystal Whatever is happening in your life is what’s going on on stage. So if you’re angry in your life, then that’s going to be on stage. If you’re looking for the guy that’s just going to make you laugh for an hour and forget about, that’s me.
Billy GardellBilly Gardell It’s going to be a grim day when the world is run by a generation that doesn’t know anything but what it’s seen on TV.
Bill WattersonBill Watterson Maybe, who knows, I’ll hire myself a trainer and a fancy cook. In five years, maybe I’ll be an action hero. Then again, maybe I’ll just be this guy. Who knows? But the fun part is embracing the human side of that.
Billy GardellBilly Gardell I’m always the last one to the party, man. But that’s okay. I got there.
Billy GardellBilly Gardell I have been a big guy all my life, I am not going to lose a bunch of weight, because then you’re like that weird fat person that got skinny but still has a big head. I don’t want to do that. So I’m just trying.
Billy GardellBilly Gardell You need a wisecracking buddy standing next to you? That’s the role for me. You got the guys who are knock-down, drag-out handsome. That’s what people want to see. Let that guy be the hero. But there’s always a role for the Everyman.
Billy GardellBilly Gardell Look, you know, you can’t please everybody. I’m a stand-up comic. I know that. It doesn’t matter how funny you are and how well you do, there’s two people that are going to walk out of there hating you.
Billy GardellBilly Gardell Yeah, I’ve done Jim Breuer’s radio show a couple times, and I heard from Larry the Cable Guy when I got ‘Mike & Molly,’ wishing me congratulations.
Billy GardellBilly Gardell No one wants to see someone talk who takes themselves too seriously.
Billy GardellBilly Gardell As a comic, I’ve heard gunshots while I’m trying to get to sleep. I’ve performed where people wanted to do you harm after the show because of something you said.
Billy GardellBilly Gardell I mean, yeah, I want to lose some weight! I’m doing the best I can.

More on sometimes
Sometimes we may learn more from a man’s errors, than from his virtues.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowHenry Wadsworth Longfellow Philosophy is an odd thing. When we use the word in everyday speech, you know, you sometimes hear it hilariously.
Stephen FryStephen Fry You have governments investing in circuits all over the world, and the private sector sometimes has a tough time competing with that.
Mario AndrettiMario Andretti I shouldn’t be saying this – high treason, really – but I sometimes wonder if Americans aren’t fooled by our accent into detecting brilliance that may not really be there.
Stephen FryStephen Fry Far and away, the greatest threat to the ocean, and thus to ourselves, is ignorance. But we can do something about that.
Sylvia EarleSylvia Earle Something attempted, something done, Has earned a nights repose.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowHenry Wadsworth Longfellow If you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
Buckminster FullerBuckminster Fuller I have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course.
