More quotes by Billy Eichner
I'm not a big reality show fan, because I just think it's too fake.
Billy Eichner
I think New Yorkers - they're media savvy. People have a sense of humor.
Billy Eichner
A lot of people in Hollywood, and everywhere pretty much, operate on fear. No one wants to get fired, so everyone's scared to take a chance. There's money involved, and there are careers and reputations on the line.
Billy Eichner
I thought I was going to be like Kevin Spacey in college.
Billy Eichner
Sometimes you go up to people who look totally normal and then you talk to them for a few seconds and you are like, Oh I better get out of this, because this person is a little mentally unbalanced, and they are not going to get a joke.
Billy Eichner
If someone walks away from me, I just let them walk, and I move on to the next person.
Billy Eichner
It's crazy. I don't know how I'm not dead. People think I'm going to get punched in the face: Something terrible is going to happen to you. You're going to get killed. That's not what's going to kill me. The show is going to kill me. The work is going to kill me. Once I'm on the street, I'm not worried about that.
Billy Eichner
I like talking to a person who is crazy in a fun, eccentric way. I don't want to talk to a legitimate crazy person, because that's not nice.
Billy Eichner
I think it [ Difficult People] is for people who don't feel that they have been properly represented on TV. I think it's painting a very accurate if slightly exaggerated for comedic purposes view of the LGBT world in a way that we have never, ever seen in any television show.
Billy Eichner
I spend the majority of my time in New York and LA. I feel like a large part of my following and my fans are probably in New York and LA because of the work that I do is very New York-LA-centric. So people do recognize me. But it's nothing overwhelming at all.
Billy Eichner
I know is that the response [for Difficult People ] has been really great. I think it's for smart people. I think it's for people who obviously care about pop culture or know about it, even if it's to a fault. I think it's for outsiders.
Billy Eichner
For some reasons, I have WWE wrestlers tweeting me all the time. Like, my biggest fans. Why they can connect with my love for Meryl Streep, I don't know.
Billy Eichner
Facebook is weird. They have all of these seemingly random rules that I'm sure make sense to them, but don't make sense to me or any people.
Billy Eichner
Even when I was struggling and had horrible day jobs and wanted to be successful but wasn't finding my way in, I knew what I had to do. I knew I had to keep working at it and keep putting material out there, even if no one was paying me for it.
Billy Eichner
I couldn't just get up every day and be miserable and complain.
Billy Eichner
If you're just really loud, people just want - will give you what you want just to get you to shut up.
Billy Eichner
I've had a lot of arguments with people, but it's never really gotten physical.
Billy Eichner
We weren't rich people, but my parents and I shared an interest in the theater and so we went a lot. And that definitely inspired me.
Billy Eichner
When I opened my mouth to sing as a kid, I kind of randomly had a really good singing voice. And so that put me on the actor track and the musicals track.
Billy Eichner
Difficult People? I don't really know. I don't have those metrics.
