I'm not used to getting good reviews.

Everywhere I go, people know who I am.

I never got into The Jetsons too much.

Comedy wasn't something I chose - it chose me.

Even at my peak, I never went too over the top.

I giggle when I put myself down. It's just funny to me.

I really don't go out every night to red-carpet events.

My belief is guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Death isn't a funny thing. We're all lucky to be living.

I miss working with great actors, working with great directors.

That's the biggest rule in Hollywood: Don't spend your own money.

I think you gotta look at stuff half-full as opposed to half-empty.

The best part about stand-up is that you control everything. Period.

I liked Evel Knievel, and that game Mouse Trap. That was pretty cool.

There's a lot of people out there who didn't like my style of comedy.

People should stop poking fun at other people and worry about themselves.

Whenever someone dies everyone says, I love that guy, except for Jeffrey Dahmer.

Sesame Street... I think they were all high. With Big Bird, they had to be high.

I'm into politics - I'm interested in the election and how pissed off people get.

I'm definitely a lot more comfortable now in my 40s than in my 30s - that's for sure.

The Comedy Store attracts all types of people, growing up I was able to meet them all.

Comedy wasn't something I chose - it chose me. I was just inherently funny when I was a kid.

It's in my blood to tour. It's in my blood to get on the road. It's in my blood to go onstage.

I remember taking mushrooms at the wrap party, it was like the first and last time I took that.

When you put yourself out into the world and say, 'Hey, look at me,' you're going to get criticized.

I want to show all sides of myself. I mean, I don't want to howl at the moon my whole life, you know?

You have to go away to come back. That's just normal. That's with bands, actors, comedians, everything.

You'd think when you saw my old MTV stuff that I was always drunk and high and all that stuff. I wasn't.

I'm Jewish. I've always had a thing where it's okay to dance with the devil, just don't become the devil.

My 20s were a time where I made it; my 30s were when I was away, confused, and trying to figure it all out.

When I shot the movie, I wasn't gonna think about anything except for being the biggest knucklehead in the world.

Son-In-Law was kind of my crossover. It was the movie that brought me out of the MTV audience into the mainstream.

I was one of the first veejays to take the camera out on location, and that's what was unique about MTV at that time.

When you're a kid, all you really care about are Slurpees and Slip N Slide and riding your bike, and that's what I did.

In my 30s, it wasn't cool to like Pauly Shore movies. It was cool to like them when they came out, then it wasn't cool.

I think as a standup performer you have to feel the audience. So the audience kind of dictates what they get, you know?

People should stop poking fun at other people and worry about themselves. The reality is that my movies all have made money.

"Entourage" is a staple LA-based show and people say it's pretty real and I thought it was. It's an exaggeration of the truth.

America's Most Wanted? I love it when there's a guy in the back seat pounding his head on the plexiglas. That to me is the best.

'Entourage' is a staple L.A.-based show, and people say it's pretty real, and I thought it was. It's an exaggeration of the truth.

My mom and dad are both in stand-up comedy, so that's where I started, that's where I got everything. My roots are holding the mic.

Serious and intense people, they drain you. But someone who's an idiot, like myself, they're fun. You either hate me or you love me.

The best part about stand-up is that you control everything. Period. When you work in movies, or on TV shows, there are 50 other people involved.

I fly around with chicks on each arm and have no script. I just talk about what I feel like. But that's why my act works: I'm like this normal guy.

The public was used to a Pauly Shore film coming out every year or two, you understand? So when that went away, the public lost familiarity with me.

I'm Jewish. I've always had a thing where it's okay to dance with the devil, just don't become the devil. Even at my peak, I never went too over the top.

When you work in movies, or on TV shows, there are 50 other people involved. And it's hard, man. They brainwash you to think you're doing the right thing.

I kind of was raised at The Comedy Store by comedians. When you see my dad on stage before me and then you see me, you'll see where I got a lot of my stuff.

You don't have to be inspired by comedians. You have to be inspired by things that are real, whether it's music, comedy...a movie - that should inspire you.

Small towns seem to appreciate things a little bit more. They're less jaded and they're more kind of authentic and more themselves and they don't care as much.
