More quotes by Norm MacDonald

I sort of have open invitations from a lot of people to do TV. But it's very hard for me to do roles in sitcoms and movies because I'm not a great actor, so if the material isn't good, I'm in torment while I do it.

The only two TV shows I saw do that, where they don't warm them up and you can really bomb, was Saturday Night Live - and that's why it gets a lot of heat, too. Obviously it gets criticism fairly, too. But a lot of it is because Lorne [Michaels] lets the audience decide and doesn't force them to laugh.

Chastity is oftener owing to diffidence and shame, than to fortitude of reason or virtue.
Norm MacDonald
Image
None seem to bear the imputation of supposed guilt with greater intolerance than such as are, on other occasions, obviously culpable of vice or crime.

Image
I've shown people Richard Pryor who've never seen him, and most of them don't like him.
Norm MacDonald
Image
If you're watching a comedian on television and he's making a political point, I would say he's gotten too serious.
Norm MacDonald
Image
[Televised stand-up] never really makes me laugh. The only one I ever saw that I liked was Richard Pryor, and that was [shot on] film.
Norm MacDonald
Image
I started on 'Saturday Night Live' the same time Conan started on 'Late Night.' We just had a relationship because I would be upstairs in the studio and whenever he couldn't get a guest - which was often back then since he was just starting out - he would just call me down to be a guest.

With the ambitious, the failure of one expedient is the suggestion of another but with the irresolute, defeat usually occasions abandonment of purpose.
Norm MacDonald
Image
The vanity of being asked advice often makes us confirm the opinion of those that consult us.

Hypocrisy is the outward acknowledgment of inward shame.
