I don't try to call myself a poet. But I know that my stuff is pretty literal, in that the themes are pretty simple and on the surface.

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.

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 misdirect the audience, so they have no idea where they are or who they're listening to.

I do think that stand-up comedy in general heavily favors masculinity and so I like to act a little feminine onstage.

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'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.

All you god damn dirty Catholics can cath-o-lick my balls.

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

I don't like calling myself a feminist only because I don't think I've done anything active enough to call myself one. It'd be like calling myself a civil rights activist just because I'm not racist.

Comedy is very strange to me and I don't fully understand it's purpose or function.

Women are like fingers and toes because they're easy to count on.
