Zitat des Tages von Sarah Silverman:
I'm not the marrying type, but I always want to be with someone who is a fan.
The first time I did stand-up was the summer I was 17.
That's not to say that I don't find anything offensive.
I have no religion, but I can't escape being extremely Jewish ethnically - that is, culturally. In other words, I'm not religious, but I worry and I'm neurotic. And I'm very good with money.
By the time I would have graduated, at 22, I was a writer and featured performer on Saturday Night Live.
If you are truly offended by an 80-year-old man saying you're not funny, then you're probably not funny.
I'm Jewish, but I'm totally not.
I really think everything is fair game.
I just think of myself as a comedian, really.
I mean, I love being with friends and I love kissing and loving someone to pieces. But it's hard to find someone who doesn't ultimately start judging you and your choices.
Well, I'm not afraid to say something if I think it's funny, even if it's harsh or racist.
My dad loves to be talked about, good or bad. He just loves it. He's not even hearing the content, he's just hearing him. When I'm onstage, he's looking at the audience members and can't believe that there are strangers listening to me, and he's just delighted by the whole thing.
The first time I did stand-up I was 17, and I was really a stand-up once I was 19 in New York, and now I'm 41, and I still feel like I haven't found myself onstage. Earlier in my career, I was really tight, really together, and knew who I was and I was confident.
And then before going back for my sophomore year, I decided to change my major to arts and sciences, and my dad cut a deal with me: He said if I'd quit school he'd pay my rent for the next three years, as if I were in school.
If I have kids, I'll adopt.
I like my life alone.
I don't set out to offend or shock, but I also don't do anything to avoid it.
I have a ton of Holocaust stuff, and some of it is really hard core.
But I think you can make fun of anything as long as it's funny enough.
I definitely think that prescription drugs, like antidepressants, are prescribed so cavalierly, anyone can get anything, but I need it. I do think that it needs to work hand and hand with therapy.
You know, I think whatever a comic talks about onstage is all they talk about offstage.
I looked up and saw the shape of a heart made by the silhouette of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon kissing.
I mean, I talk about being Jewish a lot. It's funny because I do think of myself as Jewish ethnically, but I'm not religious at all. I have no religion.
I enjoy the last quarter of all basketball games.
I like my life alone. I mean, I love being with friends, and I love kissing and loving someone to pieces. But it's hard to find someone who doesn't ultimately start judging you and your choices.
It shows the truth - that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it.
Relations between black and white would be greatly improved if we were more accepting of our fears and our feelings and more vocal about it.
When I came out to L. A., I got a part in an episode of 'Star Trek: Voyager,' and I hired an acting coach.
I'm a very ritualistic person. I have to wash my face twice, and on the second wash before I rinse, I brush my teeth, then I rinse, then I floss, then I put on moisturizer. I'm ritualistic. Jewishness is very ritualistic.
Growing up, I always loved Disney movies, but the first movie I remember seeing is 'Sleepers,' so I wasn't really taken to children's movies.
I think I've been called edgy - but in all honesty, there is a safety in what I do because I'm always the idiot. Unless you're just listening to buzz words and not taking into account the context of the situation, you see I'm always the ignoramus.
I'd love to do drama if it was interesting.
I like my messiness on stage, though I watch comics who come at a joke from every angle and I think, 'Yeah! That's how it's done!' But for me it's the audience. If I feel connected to them, I have so much fun, and if not, it stinks.
I never defend my material. Comedy is subjective.
