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 thought I was going to be like Kevin Spacey in college.
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
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 had a lot of fans in New York. The press would write about me, but I couldn't get a paying job.
Billy Eichner
I was very much an only child who was raised by the television and movies, and I grew up in New York. We weren't, like, rich people, but we were middle-class people and my parents supported this love I had for entertainment.
Billy Eichner
I'm not a big reality show fan, because I just think it's too fake.
