Sandler: "My comedy is different every time I do it. I don't know what the hell I'm doing."
Sandler: "I've been called a moron since I was about four. My father called me a moron. My grandfather said I was a moron. And a lot of times when I'm driving, I hear I'm a moron. I like being a moron."
Sandler: "I know I want to always do the best I can."
Sandler: "I think the reason I don't read is because, when I'm reading, I feel like I'm missing out on something else. You know, What are my friends doing? Where's my girlfriend?"
Sandler: "In high school I wanted to be a rock star and was in a lot of bands."
Sandler: "In one day, I have times where I'm feeling great, I feel like I love my life, and then 2:30 rolls around and I'm the angriest man alive. My wife sees it."
Sandler: "A lot of critics object to what I do, but I got into comedy to make people laugh, and I've always worked hard."
Sandler: "When I was younger and did a stand-up gig, it would take me two weeks to recover. Sometimes I'd get so panicked that I would stutter."
Sandler: "Most of the stuff I do on the show comes out of me just trying to make my friends laugh."
Sandler: "I had my moments of being humiliated, and then I had moments of doing something humiliating. I'm glad I lived out both roles."
Sandler: "Well, we're living in a material world, and I'm a material girl... or boy."
Sandler: "To be honest with you, when I got into this I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do."
Sandler: "I've always had lots of friends and my house was the house they all hung out at."
Sandler: "Chemistry can be a good and bad thing. Chemistry is good when you make love with it. Chemistry is bad when you make crack with it."
Sandler: "I still get very scared when I step in front of a live audience."
Sandler: "God gave me some weird, beautiful scent that makes men and women go crazy. People compare it to Carvel. It is a whale of a smell."
Sandler: "I don't know what drives me to succeed."
