I love you just the way you are but you don't see you like I do. You shouldn't try so hard to be perfect. Trust me, perfect should try to be you.

I never said I was funny, OK, so stop staring at me.

I think the love-hate is fundamental. Everyone hates reality television, and everyone's watching it. Everyone hates Facebook, and everyone is on it.
Bo Burnham
Image
For some comedians it feels so cool to be like: 'I'll say anything, man!'. I'm not quite there yet.
Bo Burnham
Image
I misdirect the audience, so they have no idea where they are or who they're listening to.
Bo Burnham
Image
My first concern is that when you go to a show, you should be present. It's much more exciting to put the camera down and lose yourself in it.

Image
I remember being superyoung, like nine or ten years old, and thinking, 'Man, I wonder what famous people eat for breakfast. They must have some special kind of cereal!' My mind was so warped by the idea of fame.

Image
I'm not a grown up until everybody realises I'm a grown up. When everyone remembers me as the dirty kid singing little songs I am the dirty little kid.

I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.

In comedy, falling means laughter. You can take something sacred and make it silly. The more sacred it is, the funnier it is. It has a bigger drop to fall.

I'd really love to make something that doesn't involve my stupid face.

Humour is often linked to shared experience. Like, a guy gets up and says, Have you noticed public restrooms have really inefficient hand-dryers? Oh my God, yes I have, hahaha, really good point, they should... fix that. It's good to know that somebody finally gets me!

Squaring numbers are just like women. If they're under thirteen, just do them in your head.
Bo Burnham
Image
I've found, across the board, that comedians have been very respectful and kind to me. And that seems to stem from the fact that they are just respectful and kind people in general. Comedians get a bad rap for being dark and anti-social I think.
Bo Burnham
Image
I always wanted to be a comedian and actor. I basically stumbled into the music medium, though. I'm OK, but that's about it. I like to think I'm good enough not to negatively affect the performance.
Bo Burnham
Image
I do think that stand-up comedy in general heavily favors masculinity and so I like to act a little feminine onstage.
Bo Burnham
Image
My work is trying to at least define myself on my own terms, and then if other people enjoy things that's a lovely addition.

Happy Thanksgiving! I broke into Best Buy and stole a copy of Pocahontas to celebrate.

Image
I've found nothing but support and generosity from older comics. I think comedians are a lot nicer than the stigma is, at least from my experience.
Bo Burnham
Image
I'm friends with a lot of comedians, but we don't talk about material. Most comedians I know don't watch a lot of other comedy.

In the distance, Bo saw a fairy. A fairy so beautiful that he felt proud of being called one in highschool.
