It amazes me that we are all on Twitter and Facebook. By we I mean adults. We're adults, right? But emotionally we're a culture of seven-year-olds. Have you ever had that moment when are you updating your status and you realize that every status update is just a variation on a single request: Would someone please acknowledge me?

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.'

In show business, it takes 10 years to create an overnight success. You've heard that, right? But what you don't hear is that that's the exact same amount of time it takes to create a bitter failure.
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
Well, evolution's just a theory.' And, I'm thinking to myself, 'Well, thank goodness gravity's a law.'
Marc Maron
I'm just very sort of compulsive and lack the ability to keep things in perspective. If I'm not writing or playing guitar or on the microphone or out on the road, I'm cleaning pots and pans or freaking out about some plumbing issue or tweeting.
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
Whether people know the evolution of the conversation or not, I don't know, but thematically, as a comedian, I stay in the same ballpark - around my issues and my philosophy of life.
Marc Maron
You know when you make popcorn there are always those fluffy white kernels that are fun and good to eat but there are also always those burnt, black kernels that don’t pop. You know why they don’t pop? Because they have integrity.
Marc Maron
There's something about cats' self-sufficiency and their seemingly individualistic ways that I find compelling.

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
Comics seemed to have a handle on things. They could sort of disarm and get control over reality. I found it very comforting to laugh.
Marc Maron
We live in an age where people are like, I'd love to catch up. Maybe text me later? But don't call because I don't really listen to my messages. But if you text me... We've displaced interaction into sound bites and untethered phrases and sentences that come up on the phone as Twitter feed.

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
Maybe depression is the most reasonable response to all the crap around us. Maybe it's the happy people who need medication.
