I 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 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 WHITEThink of The Rontourage as the Ron White Channel, where you can see us getting into trouble in all kinds of different places.
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 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 really understood a lot more about comedy after listening to Bill Hicks, who died at 32 years old. He’s probably the best comedian who ever lived. Although you can’t say that because of Carlin, Cosby and Pryor.
RON WHITEI was talking to a guy who was holding his 18-month-old daughter with the only limb he had left, and he had a smile on his face. I thought, ‘I’m not even a 10th of this man.’
RON WHITEBut I work harder now because I have so much more exposure. And actually the harder you work as a writer, the better you get at it. It’s like anything else. It’s a muscle you have to exercise. I write more now than ever.
RON WHITEThe next time you have a thought… let it go.
RON WHITEI don’t like to do material people have heard. Now, they like to hear material that they know, because that’s the stuff that made me famous, and, unfortunately, I don’t do a ton of it.
RON WHITEI’m set up where I make a lot of money doing stand-up, and it’s easy.
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 WHITEI get e-mail from all over the world, and from lawyers and doctors and whoever – plumbers and drywall hangers.
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 WHITEMy uncle was a preacher, and I used to go watch him preach. He was also funny, so I’m very ‘preacher-ish’ on stage, not by intent but because that’s where I learned to talk in front of people.
RON WHITEMy biggest pet peeve, I guess, is other comedians criticizing Larry the Cable Guy.
RON WHITEWhen I was about 12 years old back in Houston, my Dad used to take us to the driving range.
