I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks.
The risks of speaking extemporaneously are apparent the first time you wing it and promptly put your foot in your mouth.
When I go onstage, I don't know what I'm going to say. I don't know what's going to come out of my mouth. It's one of those questions where any and everything is possible. I literally could be talking about somebody I was hanging out with two seconds ago or something from the news. Literally, there's really no rhyme or reason for it. I want to be free flowing like that.
I don't really plan what comes out of my mouth, and that's what makes most of my lyrics entertaining.
I like to shoot from the hip.
Anything said off the cuff has usually been written on it first.
I shoot from the hip.
People that plan interviews are really boring. I just say what I want when it comes into my head.
I ad lib most of my dialogue. If I did remember my lines, it would be too bad for me.
A lot of my best stuff is just ad libs on stage, and that's one thing that I've gotten back to at the live show.
I have often been characterized by one sound bite, and people say, 'That is the whole of Mike Huckabee, because we have him on this off-the-cuff moment.'
When I give a lot of speeches, they're always on the fly. I mean, I know what I'm going to say roughly, but I do not - will not read.
Macro humor is just a person being themselves in a situation, saying whatever they're going to say, and it's funny because of the situation and who they are, or they say something, and it's just so them.
A master of improvised speech and improvised policies.
The word got out that I can ad-lib very well.
When you're at the basketball court watching a game, one person may be talking about a fight he had with his wife, another is talking about the last hard-on he got, someone else is talking about the presidential election. The language and the tone and the voice - I'd love to be able to capture that spontaneity.
I can't ad-lib, or not for long.
I never plan my speech. Very often the audience triggers me into the mood.
I'm not a big theory person. So when I get asked questions that demand serious statements, I just make it up.
You never write a speech in advance because if you don't get to use it, you'll be heartbroken.
My wife is very stealth-funny. She'll come out with something when I'm not expecting it, and it'll just kill me.
