More quotes by Jim Jefferies
I have tried reading the Bible but that's a tough read there. I watch a lot of religious documentaries. I have a keen interest in religion for someone who's not religious.
Jim Jefferies
Do you think pandas know they're Chinese and they're taking the one child policy a bit too seriously?
Jim Jefferies
There's a lot of guys up there who like wearing a suit or try doing jokes that they think will play to a certain crowd, or maybe get them corporate work. I've always written jokes that I would want to hear. So, I'm trying to entertain myself more than anything.
Jim Jefferies
Because of the way I've made my money or the way I've conducted myself in public to get success, it doesn't make me any better a person. So I always thought money and achievement would make me a more legitimate person, where my family seems to think it's all about actions.
Jim Jefferies
I don't write my standup on paper or anything but I just organically do it on stage, have an idea, chat it up a little bit. I'm keeping notes. I'm trying to keep up with this world and try to bring out a special every year.
Jim Jefferies
I wouldn't perform in front of the Nazis. I hear they didn't take freedom of speech too well. It would be a fun gig to rip into them, but I don't think the ending would be great for me.
Jim Jefferies
There are two types of actors. There's the actors who can acknowledge that they could never do standup comedy. Then there's the pretentious ones, who believe that acting is harder than standup comedy. I definitely don't think it is. I also think making a comedy is substantially harder than making a drama.
Jim Jefferies
Before doing stand-up, I thought acting was easy - it's not easy. It's a hard life. It's easy in its own way, you just stand there and talk. But there is a difference between people who can do it well and people who can't.
Jim Jefferies
I think only things that are personal to us offend us. It's always bizarre when people who would normally laugh at an AIDS joke won't laugh at a cancer joke, but far more people know somebody who's died from cancer.
Jim Jefferies
I don't think I've ever prayed in my entire life, never sat and had an imaginary chat with God.
Jim Jefferies
We have a drinking game in Australia, it's called drinking.
Jim Jefferies
I've never been the type of guy that had a lot of friends or was part of the cool group.
Jim Jefferies
I want to make people think, and I don't want to come across like I am egotistical or that I want to change people's thoughts. I don't believe that as a comic I can convert anyone's opinion. I think I can maybe make someone look in one direction or the other but I can't make a religious person stop believing in God.
Jim Jefferies
I can't imagine being a woman in the world of acting, like where you age starts to weigh you down - you go from being attractive to where they [directors] decided you're out... I feel like with stand-up comedy, it doesn't matter if I've gotten fatter.
Jim Jefferies
Myself and Jamie Moffat did not agree on everything but he always knew I had the experience.
Jim Jefferies
Can't punch women in the face!
Jim Jefferies
I was 13 when I was started questioning and 16 when I stopped believing in God.
