More quotes by Billy Eichner
If someone walks away from me, I just let them walk, and I move on to the next person.
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
I have a very vivid memory.
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'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
Difficult People? I don't really know. I don't have those metrics.
Billy Eichner
I've had a lot of arguments with people, but it's never really gotten physical.
Billy Eichner
I started out as a very traditional actor. The first thing I ever did in terms of performance was singing.
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'm not a big reality show fan, because I just think it's too fake.
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
Ironically, my rabbi was a bar mitzvah Nazi. So I got bar mitzvahed. And though I didn't want to, the theme of my bar mitzvah party was Madonna.
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 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 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
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
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
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
I couldn't just get up every day and be miserable and complain.
Billy Eichner
I think New Yorkers - they're media savvy. People have a sense of humor.
