Zitat des Tages von Louis C. K.:
There's been a lot of simple vilification of right-wing people. It's really easy to say, 'Well, you're Christian, you're anti-this and that, and I hate you.' But to me, it's more interesting to say, 'What is this person like and how do they really think?'
When I am in a hotel, and I turn off the lights and the TV, I just freak out. I turn the TV back on and don't get any sleep.
I like being full, every day, with stuff that I have to do.
Well, when I was younger, I lied all the time, because once you understand the power of lying, it's really like magic because you transform reality for people.
I know what it's like to have a bunch of material that's working that you don't care about. You want to die.
I love comedians. They're my community.
When I was first divorced, I started dating younger women, and it was really exciting. But after a while I was like, 'This is just dumb.'
A lot of TV is put together by teams, by writing staffs and several different directors. It's a great, very smart way to make television. It's worked for however long TV's been around.
I've learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work.
When I read things like the foundations of capitalism are shattering, I'm like, maybe we need that. Maybe we need some time where we're walking around with a donkey with pots clanging on the sides.
I like all ladies of all different ages.
A household name is like ketchup. Everybody wants ketchup. Ketchup doesn't hurt anybody.
I like pressure. Pressure doesn't make me crack. It's enabling. I eat pressure, and there might be times when I get a bad feeling in my gut that this might be too much, but you feel pressure when you're not doing something, you know?
I definitely look at my body and I go: 'Yuck.'
Sometimes I try to take a nap before shows. That clears my head.
Technically, I've learned that having good legs and wind is good for being on stage. You have to be in shape and have endurance.
To me the goal of comedy is to just laugh, which is a really high hearted thing, visceral connection and reaction.
I thought about going to NYU film school - that was this ideal to me. But I didn't make any kind of grades in high school.
I'm not sure why I'm so often disgusting on stage. I don't always know where it comes from.
The thing is, comedy's gone in a weird direction. People are really into ironic comedy and fakeness and cleverness.
I don't know what it's like to be an actor, where if your show gets canceled, really you're just a bum.
A very painful part of being a parent is having really negative feelings about your children when you love them so much.
Some entertainers don't pay attention to what's going on around them.
When two kids are being completely berserk, and they're naked and throwing food around, sometimes I just let it go because I can see a future where they're going to be dressed, and they're going to be at school. So I kind of let stuff go sometimes.
I've met a lot of people who've lost their jobs and they still have a sense of humor.
I've always loved boxing. It's something I've always been extremely excited about.
The problem is, the more famous you get, the more people see you who didn't choose to.
Whenever I've encountered a Christian saying, 'Why don't you stop talking like that so I can hear you?' I think, 'Well you're the one putting the earmuffs on, but I wish you could hear me because I like you.'
I'm not a political comedian. That's just not what I do.
If you're a woman and a guy's ever said anything romantic to you, he just left off the second part that would have made you sick if you could have heard it.
If I do something for my kids, I get a medal, because most fathers don't.
People don't talk to me on airplanes.
If I owned a network, I would never let a guy just put people on without telling me who they are.
I could never sit down and write jokes.
Life isn't something you possess. It's something you take part in, and you witness.
You know, the people who do indie film and decide who gets those little budgets? They're mean, man. They're cold and very cool-oriented.
