Ask questions Quote by Andrew Dice Clay
“My mother was the one who totally got behind me as far as, do things and ask questions later. My father would say, "I don't care how dirty you are up there, just be funny." Because they knew me offstage. They knew I was a good guy. They knew my whole plan of becoming the most exciting comedian, visually, ever. A real rock-and-roll stand-up comic.”

![“My dad was a big fan of comedy. He wanted to be a stand-up. He loved Lenny [Bruce]. He also loved Lord Buckley and jazz and stuff. He was a hipster. My parents were kind of beatnik-y, you know, for Salt Lake City. But my humor, I think, came from wanting to disarm people before they hit me.” quote by Judd Apatow](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b6a/judd-apatow-1471_beatnik_my-dad-was-a-big-fan-of-comedy-he-wanted_87831.jpg)
