Howie Mandel Quotes

Diana Ross saw me on Merv Griffin and hired me to be her opening act Picture Quote #1

I think being a dad is scary. I mean, I’m not that grown-up myself Picture Quote #1

There isn’t anybody out there who doesn’t have a mental health issue, whether it’s depression, anxiety, or how to cope with relationships. Having OCD is not an embarrassment anymore - for me. Just know that there is help and your life could be better if you go out and seek the help Picture Quote #1

I was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) as an adult, but I don’t remember a time when I didn’t have them.

If you come to any of my live shows, you’ll see, it’s very frenetic. I have the attention span of a gnat Picture Quote #1

Stand-up comedy is a sickness. Who wouldn’t want a room full of people laughing and screaming at you just because of who you are? Nothing is as good, except maybe having a baby Picture Quote #1

I once missed an appointment because I left my house, I locked the door. And then I thought, like anybody else, you know, ‘I don’t think I locked the door.’ I just kept going back to the door. And I couldn’t stop myself from checking and checking Picture Quote #1

I have thoughts - obtrusive thoughts and rituals that have to - it’s like a broken re - a skipping record. And if these thoughts or these triggers happen to me through maybe shaking a hand or just a thought or just - then I can’t get past it and move on with my life Picture Quote #1

I was always incredibly obsessed with germs and cleaning and taking shower after shower after shower. Even when I was very young, I wouldn’t tie my shoelaces because they had touched the ground. I had continuous repetitive thoughts that I couldn’t get past. As a child, my mind was a lot busier than I was Picture Quote #1

After I impulsively revealed that I have OCD on a talk show, I was devastated. I often do things without thinking. That’s my ADD/ADHD talking. Out in public, after I did the show, people came to me and said, ‘Me, too.’ They were the most comforting words I’ve ever heard Picture Quote #1

Part of my humor is the fact that I love coming out of left field. I don’t want people to expect what is going to happen next Picture Quote #1

One of the great pleasures of having children is spending one-on-one time with them. Sadly, I could do that for only a few minutes at a time. I’d never say that ADD/ADHD is a gift or a blessing. And if someone says it is a gift, I’d love to return it Picture Quote #1

Standup keeps me grounded and keeps me in touch. I get to go from small towns to big cities, across Canada and the U.S., and you’re out there and talking to people. You get a sense of what they respond to Picture Quote #1

My parents both had a great sense of humor, and always laughed a lot. One night, when they were watching ‘Candid Camera,’ I finally understood what comedy was all about.
