More quotes by Marc Maron
The Internet has usurped the collective unconscious and access to cosmic consciousness has become difficult and almost primitive.
Marc Maron
They are not testing comics for drugs. If our job is dependent on that, there would be three working comics in the country, and two of them would have puppets.
Marc Maron
Let's be honest, this is a consumer based economy in America. That's all we manufacture here is need and appetite. We are the world's mouth. They make things in other countries, and they're like, 'Send it to America they'll eat it.'
Marc Maron
As I became very conscious and more aware of things I got very into the beatniks and that kind of stuff. They were very important to me for a few years.
Marc Maron
What comics sacrifice and what lives they live - I know that most of their lives, their adult lives, they're sitting around or walking around with notebooks, writing things down. Usually they're fairly sensitive. Usually they're very bright. And that makes them poets.
Marc Maron
I remember seeing Richard Pryor's first movie it was a midnight movie when I was in high school. I must have been about fifteen. It was one of the most cathartic experiences of my life. I'd never laughed that much.
Marc Maron
There's something about cats' self-sufficiency and their seemingly individualistic ways that I find compelling.
Marc Maron
I know that the podcast is typically something I can do forever, because it's mine it's just me and my producer and business partner, so it's our business.
Marc Maron
You hope to see an arc of growth in your ability to become a character on television.
Marc Maron
All I can do in the context of pursuing any sort of TV thing, and all I've done in the past, is offer your life at any given point in time to whatever situation you're in.
Marc Maron
I was also a big Woody Allen fan. When I got into college I listened to Lenny Bruce but it's taken me years to put him into context historically and really get what he did.
Marc Maron
Some of you may be perfectly happy with mediocrity. Some of you will get nothing but heartbreak. Some of you will be heralded as geniuses and become huge. Of course, all of you think that one describes you...hence the delusion necessary to push on.
Marc Maron
I'm just looking for authentic engagement of some kind, and usually, after an hour or more, you get that. Some people talk at you. Some people just want to answer questions, but a lot of times, all of a sudden you drift away, and you don't remember you're on the mic, and you're in something real.
Marc Maron
I didn't really want to kill myself, it just made me feel better to know I could if I wanted to.
Marc Maron
It seems people are more willing to let other people control their minds now and recreational drug use doesn't seem to have that same renegade sense of adventure that it once did.
Marc Maron
Dogs are too much to handle. I don't need anything in my house that's needier than me.
Marc Maron
One thing I'm grateful for, and also surprised and excited about, is that I have a place in the community of comics now. In a real way. And I honor that. A lot of what I do is in support of the community and bringing new talent - talking to people that people don't know. And defining us as a community.
Marc Maron
We need the children of Indonesia and the Philippines to manufacture our freedom of choice.
Marc Maron
I have a very primitive sense that if I just turn on a radio or the television, that somebody's playing that stuff for me.
Marc Maron
I'm happy, certainly, given the times we're living in, to be doing OK, and to not be worrying about money, and to be producing something I enjoy.
Marc Maron
