The bulk of my fans are my age, and I’m aging at the same rate they are. That makes me relevant. They like hearing what I have to say. I work hard at it, but it’s addicting, really.

RON WHITEIt never dawned on me that I had the option of becoming a comedian. I come from a little dirt street town in northwest Texas, and they really don’t talk about the arts there much on career day.
RON WHITEThat’s the beauty of being a straight-to-DVD star. It really helps you stay under the media’s radar.
RON WHITEIf I see someone out there mouthing the words to a bit, I’m not having fun.
RON WHITEAll I know how to do is take what’s on my mind and spit it out funny. I don’t know what else I could do besides comedy.
RON WHITEThere’s no idea or concept in comedy you could do that hasn’t been attacked from some angle. But if you start leaving punchlines out so you’ll look cool, I don’t get that. But I don’t watch standup anyway, so I don’t know what they’re doing.
RON WHITEI started selling out comedy clubs before I got to town with no advertising. I was selling out theaters just on the rumor that I was going to be there.
RON WHITEMy life has been wild enough to derive all of the stories you need out of it. I’ve been through many, many years of behavioral problems, so I don’t really look outside for stories.
RON WHITEI believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade… And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.
RON WHITEI’ve been married a few times. I’m not good at it.
RON WHITEI consider it an honor and a privilege to give back however I can for the many sacrifices of these incredibly brave men and women.
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 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 only way to stay sharp is to do live shows. There is no part-time comedy.
RON WHITEComedy is all about the pause.
RON WHITEThe next time you have a thought… let it go.
