The Great Quotes of “SAM KINISON”!
- I don’t worry about terrorism. I was married for two years.
- Jesus had a tough life. I read about that guy. Jesus is the only guy that ever came back from the dead that didn’t scare the F— out of everybody!
- Rock Against Drugs, what a name. Somebody was high when they came up with that title. It’s like Christians Against Christ. Rock created drugs.

You’re out of control, and you don’t know what the fuck you’re doing with your cash. And… you’re old enough to be on your own.’ I said, ‘Oh, okay’… and I called them. I said, ‘Mom, get dad on the phone too, wake him up, I know it’s late, but I want you both to hear this.

I walked in the cosmos, not imprisoned by a body of flesh, but free, in a pure body of light. There were no questions, only answers, no weaknesses, only strengths, I was light, I was truth, I was a spiritual being, I was a God… but you had to F–K and bring my ass down HERE. I didn’t ask to be born! I didn’t call and say: ‘Hey, please have me so I could work in a fuckin’ Winchell’s someday!’ Now you want me to pay my own way? … F–K YOU! PICK UP THE F–KIN’ CHECK, MOM! PICK IT UP!’”
