RON WHITEI’m not willing to drag my fans down a road I don’t believe in. That’s just my one little principle. I’ve only got one, and that’s it.
RON WHITEIf I’m not in the theatre, I’m in an open mic night or doing a guest set at the Comedy Club, or whatever, just trying to develop stuff.
RON WHITEI was so in love with the idea of making people laugh for a living that I didn’t care what I had to do to get there. Or how much money I was going to make when I did get there.
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 WHITEAnybody could say anything they want about me, and it literally never penetrates my skin.
RON WHITEI begged the universe to make me a famous comedian, and it did. So I tend not to ask for any more.
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 WHITEI’ve been married a few times. I’m not good at it.
RON WHITEI believe everything creative is somewhat collaborative.
RON WHITEI’m definitely guilty of thinking something is funny but thinking the audience won’t. Then three years later I will finally try it and it’ll kill them. I got to give them more credit.
RON WHITEI don’t know who in my family thinks very fast at all, including me. The things that people see me do onstage are written, so it doesn’t have to be very quick if you have all day with a pen.
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 WHITEI believe everything creative is somewhat collaborative. If you’re a painter and someone stretches your canvas, it was collaborative on some level.
RON WHITEI’d rather do a really good small part than a really bad big part.
RON WHITEIf you become famous and don’t have a live show to back it up, they’re not going to pay you any money.
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.
