Biography of Johnny Knoxville
It's unfortunate when kids get hurt, but I wish parents would monitor what their kids are doing and watching. It's common sense, really.
Tags: Hurt, Parents, WishWe're just trying to make ourselves laugh. We realize critics are going to hate it, but it just makes fans like it more.
Tags: Hate, Laugh, TryingWhat calmed me down finally was when my girlfriend got pregnant.
Tags: Finally, Girlfriend, PregnantYou can tell it's good if you light it and a blue flame comes up; that means it's good moonshine and it won't make you go blind.
Tags: Good, Light, TellI have a whole slew of doctors. I can count eight in my phone right now - eight different doctors, all for different parts of my body. I have specialists.
Tags: Body, Phone, WholeI just try to think of all the things that could go wrong so in that split second when it happens, maybe your body reacts in a way where it protects you just a little.
Tags: Body, Try, WrongMy parents said that I was nine months old and would throw myself out of the crib onto the floor continually. As soon as they left the room after putting me back in they'd hear a big bump and I'd be on the floor again.
Tags: After, Old, ParentsOf course I've had a bunch of broken bones, sprains and I've had five or six concussions, with three serious ones. I also got a real heavy duty blood clot and internal bleeding from where I was shot in the stomach with a beanbag bullet that the police use for crowd control. I've also had six stitches in my head.
Tags: Broken, Control, RealPeople try to challenge me in bars every now and then. As long as they're not physical I just walk away, but if they get physical then I just end up in a fight.
Tags: End, Fight, TrySuffering will get you great footage. I don't know about closer to God. Although there have been times when I've suffered to the point where I think I might be about to meet him.
Tags: God, Great, HimWhen I used to go into bars people would try and fight me. Women would punch me 10 years ago or put cigarettes out on my arm or my face. But it doesn't seem to happen any more. They show us a lot of love.
Tags: Fight, Love, WomenI pretty much operate on adrenaline and ignorance.
Tags: Adrenaline, Ignorance, Pretty'I know this is going to end bad, but I'm going to pretend it's going to end good.' My life's philosophy.

A couple days before the stunts, if I'm doing something particularly dangerous, I will go over every worst-case scenario in my head, like this could happen, this could happen, this could happen, this could happen. I try to think about that to where it's ingrained in me.
Tags: Days, Happen, TryI just love that spirit that makes people do things that they probably shouldn't.
Tags: Love, Makes, SpiritIt's a real primal thing, watching someone get hurt. It's funny and accessible.
Tags: Funny, Hurt, SomeoneDoctors have told me I have a high pain threshold, but I can only know what I feel. I think I'm good at minimising the pain and being indifferent to it.
Tags: Good, High, PainI'm so uncoordinated, I can't really do that much, so my specialty is standing in one spot or holding on to something, like an exploding rocket or a jetski.
Tags: Holding, Rocket, StandingIt's just an unhealthy way to approach something, trying to outdo your last thing. You've gotta trust evolution, you've gotta trust that the bar is moving, that you don't need to force the bar. It'll just happen.
Tags: Happen, Moving, TrustA lot of stand-up comedy guys, when they get a little famous, just give up their stand-up career, and it cancels out the thing that set them apart.
Tags: Career, Famous, GiveEverything you see on screen is real. By doing what we do, there's naturally going to be a lot of grimacing. And whimpering.
Tags: Naturally, Real, ScreenI do get obsessed with constantly thinking of ideas, all day long, but that's just how it is.
Tags: Ideas, Obsessed, ThinkingI don't care what other people think.
Tags: CareI'm just basking in the glory.
