More quotes by 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
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
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 it would be funny to go to my Korean dry cleaner and ask her about my head shot, as if it's the most important thing in the world, and as if it's something that everyone should weigh on because it's important to me.
Billy Eichner
I couldn't just get up every day and be miserable and complain.
Billy Eichner
Difficult People? I don't really know. I don't have those metrics.
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
We're really fleshing out the whole world of the show [Difficult People]. It's more of an ensemble now, whereas last season we were very focused on establishing the Billy/Julie friendship. Now that that's been established, we don't question that they love each other and what the show's about. So we can meander outside of that.
Billy Eichner
It's one thing to be struggling and not really making money in your early 20s and figuring out your life. Early 30s, you start to wonder, is this ever going to happen?
Billy Eichner
If someone walks away from me, I just let them walk, and I move on to the next person.
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
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
I thought I was going to be like Kevin Spacey in college.
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
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 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
It was pop culture, entertainment, Hollywood, award shows - these are the things that really captivated me as a kid. I would watch the Oscars and every award show with my parents. I would make lists of who was going to win.
Billy Eichner
Award shows are fun, but completely arbitrary and absurd. And yet, I will watch every single one of them.
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
You have to fight. You know, you don't want to fight, but you have to fight to make your show your own, to make your voice be heard. You just have to sometimes.
Billy Eichner
