More quotes by Marc Maron
I think most other comics are like, 'I'm going to do my fkin' act and that'll be that.' With me, it's like, 'What if I forget my jokes? What if I can't pull it together? This is going to be a fking disaster!'
Marc Maron
Jokes do finish themselves. I really do see them as ongoing conversations about personal themes that I ruminate on.
Marc Maron
My dad is actually a manic depressive, which is very exciting half the time.
Marc Maron
I once talked about wanting to kill myself, but I don't think I was ever really planning on doing it. It was just comforting to know that I could.
Marc Maron
I'm weird I have a very strange emotional memory. I really somehow hold on to even passing moments with people.
Marc Maron
Dogs are too much to handle. I don't need anything in my house that's needier than me.

How complicated can ice cream flavors be? How much can you put in there? I mean, when the flavor's something like banana ice cream with caramel, fudge chunks, cheddar goldfish and pennies - you've got to draw a line there.

They used to have a smoking section at most airports. No more. They now have these glass-encased rooms. You're not just a smoker, you're an example to other people. You're an exhibit at a futuristic zoo.
Marc Maron
There's nothing more horrifying than the possibility or the idea that you will just fade away into obscurity.
Marc Maron
Left wing, right wing, I am wingless and tired of trying to fly. Here comes the ground.
Marc Maron
People who have babies tell me I will know a love that is beyond anything I can imagine, and a joy that is indescribable. Love and joy? That sounds horrifying. I have no way of knowing whether I can handle either of those. I'm much better with need and fear. They are what ground me.
Marc Maron
I immediately went out and bought a book on anger management. And now I have that book, and I don't know if I'll get to the book. But I'm certainly excited about the day where I can't find the book, and I get to say, 'Where the hell is my anger management book?!'
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
Comedy is obviously a matter of personal taste and the world always needs a clown and some people have no taste at all and any clown will do.
Marc Maron
You hope to see an arc of growth in your ability to become a character on television.
Marc Maron
Surveillance induced morality: relics of cultural retardation.
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
Is it hard to make a living in show business? Yeah.
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
I find that if I don't do interviews, I get a little squirrely. I think that when you engage with someone else, or when you engage in something you're passionate about, you're sort of out of your own head.
