On Bill's vulnerability
>"Bill had that kind of vulnerability, and it allowed him to capture people's hearts. It wasn't contrived or synthetic. Even towards his later days, you still had the feeling when he was on stage that if you yelled something from the audience, even though he might have the perfect comeback and put you in your place, or even explode and start screaming expletives at you, it really would hurt his feelings, because he was always trying to open his heart to people."

On Bill crying in the cinema
>"Bill Hicks was also a sensitive man. He couldn't go on stage and cry. He'd go on stage and rant, but when he went to see the movie Of Mice and Men [...] do you know how much he cried? He called me up crying when he came out of the movie. He said he was sitting in the movie saying, "Put the rabbit down," and of course if you read the book , you know it doesn't happen that way, but he called me crying over that. He was a sensitive guy in a masculine guy's body."

On Bill's epiphany about men and women
>""You caught her cheating on you. Kevin, all women are whores." Duke said that over and over again. All women are whores. This exchange happened in the presence of Bill. And it was like a light went on over Bill's head. "All women are whores." "All men are your brothers." I don't think Bill stopped being a sensitive guy that day [...] but around this time is when he stopped being a milquetoast when it came to women"
