I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am.
I've built a career on the survival skill I honed early on: being a smart aleck who is good with a fast comeback.
I reckon I am a smart aleck, but it is just a way to pass the time.
Wit is educated insolence.
I think I am a smart aleck because I grew up close enough to Boston, and most people from Massachusetts talk fast, and I have a little bit of a wiseacre, and I think I'm a little bit like that.
I was funny in a way that was not dissing the teacher; I was funny just to be funny. A real charmer with a prominent mustache that he didn't know what to do with and a smart-alecky attitude.
I was a class clown. At 12, I was definitely clowning. I was making all the jokes. But I was smart, so the teachers didn't know what to do with me.
I've always been a know-it-all. I drive a lot of people a bit crazy. But I can't seem to help it.
A know-it-all is a person who knows everything except for how annoying he is.
He's a smart-assed kid who's always sassin' people and gettin' away with it.
I like my smart-aleck self.
All my friends seem to be smart arses. Don't ask me why. Like many things, it is what it is.
I'm the smart aleck. The class clown. I'm the guy who does the song nobody expects.
You know what, I've always been a smarty-pants, and the only thing that goes wrong now is that people know that I play a doctor on TV and so they quickly call me out on the fact that I really think I am a doctor.
