Zitat des Tages von Jerry Seinfeld:
A lot of stuff I do out of pure obsessiveness.
A lot of times, you could play me just the laughs from my set, and I could tell you, from the laugh, what the joke was. Because they match.
Make no mistake about why these babies are here - they are here to replace us.
My parents didn't want to move to Florida, but they turned sixty and that's the law.
I do a little thing about the way people shake the sweetener packet. You know, like they're all excited. I want to get all the granules down to one end. I love all these rituals.
I can walk through a hotel lobby and watch people at the desk and see what they're doing. People don't look at me. They don't even know I'm there.
I've done a number of Super Bowl ads. And that is the best advertising of the year. That is when people realize they're going to be compared directly against other ads.
To me, if life boils down to one thing, it's movement. To live is to keep moving.
You know you're getting old when you get that one candle on the cake. It's like, 'See if you can blow this out.'
Crankiness is at the essence of all comedy. My wife and I were discussing the different types of cranky. There's entertaining cranky, annoying cranky, angry cranky.
You want to do good things, and once you've done a couple of good things in a row, you think 'Well gee, let's not mess this up.' But I am lucky at this point that I have something I really love to do, and it completely holds my attention. I never feel frustrated by it.
As a comedian, I found this thing, this profession, that suits my mind and life force. To drop it to do something else? I just don't get that.
People who read the tabloids deserve to be lied to.
I don't need you to be funny. I don't want to be entertained.
There's very little advice in men's magazines, because men don't think there's a lot they don't know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think, 'I know what I'm doing, just show me somebody naked.'
Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.
When you make a TV show, they always say you're a guest in someone's home. Online, you're a guest in someone's face. So that's why I try to make it sound and look and feel very inviting and attractive, because I know that I'm in your face.
Where lipstick is concerned, the important thing is not color, but to accept God's final word on where your lips end.
The Four Levels of Comedy: Make your friends laugh, Make strangers laugh, Get paid to make strangers laugh, and Make people talk like you because it's so much fun.
To a guy like me, a laugh is full of information.
Stand-up is hard. Or to keep it at a certain level is hard: I have no writers but me.
I kind of thought that stand-up comedy would suffer from the Internet because people seem to know more about the craft of stand-up than ever before. I thought it would seem trite. Kind of like if you know more about magicians, you wouldn't love them.
Forty is when you actually begin even deserving to be on stage telling people what you think.
I am so busy doing nothing... that the idea of doing anything - which as you know, always leads to something - cuts into the nothing and then forces me to have to drop everything.
Marriage is like a game of chess except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.
A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking.
I think it's funny to be delicate with subjects that are explosive.
That's the true spirit of Christmas; people being helped by people other than me.
I don't want to hear the specials. If they're so special, put 'em on the menu.
The Internet offers opportunities that are more unique than ever before. With TV, I know I'm making 22 minutes; I know there's a commercial in the middle. With the Internet, no one knows anything. No rules.
Being a stand-up is my mission in life; it's my passion. My ongoing goal is to simply be funny, on my own, in front of a roomful of strangers.
I wrote an article on a new Porsche for 'Automobile Magazine.' I knew the editor, and she asked me to write this article. So I'm more proud of that than anything.
I do probably 60 concerts a year in the States. And I go out to clubs in the week. I'm doing new stuff all the time.
If you're a surfer, you just want to surf. You don't know if anyone's going to see you, and you don't really care if they see you. You just live for that feeling.
I think of myself more as a sportsman than I do an artist.
A lot of advertising has gotten worse. I think it's kind of lost its nerve, to be honest with you. I feel like the advertising of the '60s, they were nervier. You know why? Because there was less at stake.
