Adam Carolla

I think we're getting to the point where everyone's getting fat and everyone's getting allergic, or claims to be allergic to something and people can't walk from their front door to their car without a bottle of water in their hand because they have to hydrate every three and half steps.

I don't know anything about computers.

I don't burn any calories trying to be masculine; I just happen to be from that world.

If women built the bridges or were meant to build the bridges, then they would have done it.

Well, guys are better at mechanical stuff and women are better at emotional stuff.

I swear my car won't run unless I'm picking my nose: At least, I'm that superstitious about it, so I don't want to take any chances.

I think comedy has evolved like every art form, and people probably do less standing around and telling jokes, and more things that have to do with reality.

When you're doing a radio show, you can express yourself.

You don't cruise the Internet looking for your name and walk away with a good feeling. So, I never do it.

I've always boxed, I always taught boxing.

I'm a sort of nuts-and-bolts guy. I'm into turning wrenches and swinging a hammer and wrenching on cars.

I think people have a strong desire to push me and others into some sort of political box that they can wrap their minds around.

If the media isn't slanted toward the Left, why is everyone so worried about my affiliation with Glenn Beck but not with Alec Baldwin?

I have feelings that are to the right, and I have feelings that land on the left side of the aisle. The thing is if you have 10 views that land you on the left side of the aisle and two views that land you on the right side of the aisle, then people just put you on the right side of the aisle. I'm not sure why.

I want to work for myself, and I do work for myself. I make plenty of money working for myself.

I don't think I've ever seen pie advertised. That's how you know it's good. They advertise ice cream and other desserts. They advertise the bejeezus out of yogurt, but I haven't seen one pie commercial.

If you've driven over to the gay section of Los Angeles, it's like a golf course... Real estate values go 'boom!'

When you're picking a basketball team, you'll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you're playing the odds.

If Joy Behar or Sherri Shepherd was a dude, they'd be off TV. They're not funny enough for dudes. What if Roseanne Barr was a dude? Think we'd know who she was?

I'm a comedian, not a politician.

I think if you create something and you get an audience for it, then the monetization part is really secondary.

Whoever is for higher taxes, feel free to pay higher taxes.

If you're conservative in Hollywood, you're on a list of people who need to be put in their place.

The reason I hate publicists is because I think if we got rid of them everything would be on equal footing.

I'm not comically oriented. I get angry and I start complaining and then people start laughing. I don't even want them to laugh half the time.

I could definitely see myself making a serious movie or a drama in the future.

Maybe I'm delusional but I'm usually funny. It's not 100% but I have a pretty good batting average.

The thing about a good podcast is you have to have a good host. If you don't have a compelling host then you have nothing.

I've never really broken this down before, but, in movies, you almost have no connection to fans. And if you do TV, you're kind of connected, but they know you as the TV name not your real name. If you do radio, there's more of a bond there. And then if you do a podcast it's like you're literally inside of your fans.

A lot of guys and people in our society think that chicks just love dudes with money. Chicks love dudes who are successful who happen to have money - do you know what I mean? Chicks are attracted to dudes that are doing their own thing.

If in 1989 I said, 'I have an idea: Bottle water and sell it. And charge more than a beer,' they would have chased me around with a giant butterfly net. The same with paying to watch a television station.

I was a horrible student.

People look at me, and they go, 'You're white, you're smart, you must have went to college. You must have grown up with money.'

I don't normally vote. I'm lazy and I never bought into the 'Every vote counts.'

You don't realize how much you use your credit card not even to buy things. It's a card you get so you can navigate society.

I've got a great eye for color. I'm like a chick.

I didn't have any success in show business until I was 30 to 31 years of age.

People are stupid. There's a lot of dumb stuff that's successful.

I'm a doofus from the Valley, a blue-collar guy.

I don't have any ill will or ill thought towards anybody.

I'm not a Republican.

I guess my feeling is is that if you're going to make a joke, that's fine, but you should also sort of stand behind it, you know? A joke should be more than a joke, it should be a point that you're trying to make.

No, I had not read any other comedian's book. Not that I don't enjoy other comedians; I'm just not a reader.

When you have kids, you instantly feel that you do not want to do them wrong. Those dads that go off to Florida and start a new life, I couldn't imagine that: seeing my kid once every Christmas, every three years. If I'm gone for six days it feels like too much.

When I say things that sound insane, like only the smartest million people should have the right to vote, well, I mean that.

I mean, we sit around and we go, you know, 'Torture doesn't work.' Well, it's been around for 5,000 years. Most stuff that doesn't work goes the way of the dodo pretty quick, like waterbeds and 8-tracks and things like that.

If you want to have a good life, you should focus on your family, on your business, on your dog, on your fun, and you'll have a good life.

In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction, I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture, and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer, and make money... and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up, but I wasn't very good at it.

Millions of guys play millions of basketball games every day of the week at the playground or the YMCA. But LeBron James gets $20 million a year because he can jam on all of those guys. We're always going to want to see LeBron and Kobe go at it.

I am not a good cue card reader.
