Zitat des Tages über Robin Williams:
I did theatre in the U.S. because there, content-wise, it's very light. In India, theatre tends to get preachy.
Don't worry about your heart, it will last you as long as you live.
Minnesotans really think they run the whole world, I love that.
I flew to New York to do a commercial back in the day when people could meet you at the gate, and the little agent when I came off the plane said, 'Oh, Miss Carr, we are so happy to have you here.' I went, 'Oh, for goodness sakes.'
I like women, but you can't always trust them. Some of them are big liars, like this one woman I met who had a dog. I asked her her dog's name and then I asked, 'Does he bite?' and she said, 'No.' And I said, 'So how does he eat?' Liar!
Humor that is edgy is never squeaky clean.
My parents don't really understand my career. They don't really bring it up that much.
In my career, I'm always trying to do something different.
It's hard for me to get used to these changing times. I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty.
We always thought that we'd go on from the show to have a career in movies.
I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth.
I didn't even know how much of a feminist I was, and I realized, 'Oh my God, I was raised by a single mom who had to raise six kids. I have three sisters. Larry, you've been a feminist your whole life, and you really didn't know it until you've been presented with these issues.'
Well, excuuuuuse me!
Basically, I started on stage yelling and I kept yelling, and then I yelled some more, and then I yelled even louder. I'm modulated now.
I started getting really interested in comedy when I was in middle school.
Let's face it; God has a big ego problem. Why do we always have to worship him?
I've always wanted to do a travel show for people who never thought they could.
I'm not the marrying type, but I always want to be with someone who is a fan.
I grew up in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts and went to college in Washington D.C.
Time is like money, the less we have of it to spare the further we make it go.
Stand-up is successful if they laugh. It's unsuccessful if they don't laugh.
If it's a good script I'll do it. And if it's a bad script, and they pay me enough, I'll do it.
You know, in Los Angeles, you're constantly in your car, you're sealed up, you're not walking around. Whereas in New York, after a while, all your stuff is kind of public, in one way or the other. I'm not saying either one of those is bad; they're both great for a very specific kind of comedian. And I'm glad that they both exist.
I have a wonderful make-up crew. They're the same people restoring the Statue of Liberty.
Most people are embarrassed to admit there's another human being that's in control of them, that your heart beats three times as fast because you've given yourself to someone else.
I do think the patriotic thing to do is to critique my country. How else do you make a country better but by pointing out its flaws?
The world is getting to be such a dangerous place, a man is lucky to get out of it alive.
When you're playing a fictional character reacting to the real world, it's incredibly difficult and confusing and kind of messes with your values a bit.
Oh, I constantly say things that I regret. I mortify myself constantly. But that's just part of the deal. I'm not really sure what's going to come out of my mouth.
I'm only... I'm only unhappy when the reviews are bad, but give me a good review and I'm a... I'm just screaming all over the place with joy.
Anything that I read, I read because I'm interested in it.
I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you're an idiot.
I guess after college, I just got really into food. I also think going on the road doing stand-up makes you more into food. Because when you travel like that, one of the things to do is find really good places to eat.
All my life, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific.
A lot of stuff I do out of pure obsessiveness.
A cinema villain essentially needs a moustache so he can twiddle with it gleefully as he cooks up his next nasty plan.
