More quotes by Chris Hardwick
I'm just gonna do a podcast because it's mine, I can control it, I have complete responsibility over it, and no one can touch it.
Chris Hardwick
I feel like so much of why I sort of want to work in television is so that people know to come see me live.
Chris Hardwick
When you first start working, you take whatever job is offered, because you have to build your resume. But you don't think about what you're building.
Chris Hardwick
It's funny: when I first started getting vocal about how much I liked 'Doctor Who,' I didn't realize how deep the fan base was.
Chris Hardwick
I almost think of nerd brains as rattlesnake venom like, you can milk it. You can milk the pulpy venom out of the nerd brain and use it for good if you want to.
Chris Hardwick
We didn't understand irony yet in the '80s we just kind of existed at face value, so there was no nerd cool yet because the digital revolution was still in its infancy.
Chris Hardwick
If you do a joke that's really old, then what happens is people on Reddit and Twitter just go, 'Real original, you're just doing old jokes!' But bands do it all the time.
Chris Hardwick
Some people learn comedy, and some people just are comedy.
Chris Hardwick
I think doing the podcast may have been one of the best career decisions I've ever made in my life.
Chris Hardwick
You can't throw money at the Internet to make it work - it really is all about the quality of the content.
Chris Hardwick
I think the mistake a lot of people make with new media is they just focus on one thing. But any one thing - just doing podcasts or just having a website or just doing television - isn't enough anymore.
Chris Hardwick
With stand-up, there's a little bit of an exaggerated reality because things have to be manipulated to create comedy, to create jokes.
Chris Hardwick
I just feel like, for me personally, there's just been so much election fatigue, and while I think it was very important during the election to always be on top of everything that was going on with the election via social media, I do feel like, all right, now we need a little bit of a detox. I think people need a little bit of a break from it.
Chris Hardwick
You don't need 30 million people to listen to your podcast. If 10,000 people listen to your podcast, which is not a hard number to achieve, then 10,000 people are listening, and you can build a community, and literally change the world just recording into a microphone.
Chris Hardwick
You walk into a strip club with a wad of cash they all flock around you. Strippers are just pigeons with tits. They go where the bread is.
Chris Hardwick
Worry is a misuse of your imagination.
Chris Hardwick
I feel like being nerd is not about the superficial quality it's about how nerds approach life. It's much more emotional and mental than it is you're some fat guy living in your mom's basement, which I think is just a hacky stereotype.
Chris Hardwick
I do seem like the kind of guy who'd be obsessive about Rubik's Cubes.
Chris Hardwick
I do lots of crowd work in my set, because I enjoy writing material through riffing and conversation.
Chris Hardwick
I think being an outcast is what sort of strengthens the nerd movement, because you're isolated, so you have time.
