RON WHITEComedy is great because there’s no overhead.
RON WHITEI don’t have a specific plan except for as long as people want to listen to me talk, I’m going to keep talking. I can’t imagine a life without doing standup.
RON WHITEI have a very fun life. I don’t recommend it for anybody else, but it sure has been fun for me.
RON WHITEI’m set up where I make a lot of money doing stand-up, and it’s easy.
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 WHITEMy favorite bands are the Allman Brothers and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
RON WHITEI think the world has their own good, clean, Christian comedy. They don’t need my help.
RON WHITEThere were years when I was a beer and tequila guy, then I got real fat. And then I found that you could actually go on a diet and drink scotch. Then I got hooked on scotch, and if you get hooked on scotch, then everything else just tastes wrong.
RON WHITEIf you watch the ‘Blue Collar Comedy Tour,’ don’t expect that when you come see me by myself, ’cause it’s a little rougher.
RON WHITEI was a comedy fan when I was a little kid.
RON WHITEI write these shows one joke at a time. There’s no continuity. I do try to figure an order to the stories, but there’s not continuity.
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 WHITEPace, rhythm and timing. Pace, rhythm and timing is what it’s about. The content’s got to be great, but then it’s got to be delivered. It’s a tricky thing to do, and it takes a lot of work.
RON WHITETelevision is 15 hour days. Movies are 18 hour days. And it’s 18 hours of doing not a thing.
