I have a phenomenal memory. I remember every single thing that anybody said to me, ever did to me, who was nice to me and who was not nice to me.

More quotes by Russell Peters
I don't want to be a part of any Bollywood movie.
Russell Peters
Who I am on stage is just an amped up version of who I am in real life.
Russell Peters
I'm not a media darling. I'm forever the outsider, for whatever the reason is.
Russell Peters
On my best day, I cannot do Scottish people. I don't even believe that's a real accent, to be honest with you. I think they probably sound like us when they're in the house. It's how they keep people away from them.
Russell Peters
I DJ and I'm a harsh critic of DJs.
Russell Peters
Ideally I'd like to be working steadily as an actor: movies, a TV series, that sort of thing. I've been through a few different TV development cycles, and they didn't work out. When the time and project are right, it'll come together. Like I tell a lot of guys, it's not a race there's no finish line.
Russell Peters
I don't make the stereotypes, I just see them.
Russell Peters
Indians are the second largest population in the world, but we're invisible on TV - everything is either black or white.
Russell Peters
I talk about race and culture, and that's what my fans respond to. If you grew up in an environment where race and culture were never an issue for you, or where you don't see the humor in our so-called differences, then you might not respond to what I'm doing.
Russell Peters
I think for comedians, acting is their natural progression. It's all about progression.
Russell Peters
I will never stop doing stand-up that's my career, but I will do movies in Hollywood.
Russell Peters
I'm not just saying this, but I love everything about India.
Russell Peters
I don't think Indian actors are good. A couple of them are, like Anupam Kher, but not many are there like him in the industry. There are thousand of actors and actresses in the industry, but you can count on hand how many of them are really good the rest of them are just pretty faces.
Russell Peters
My dad was the funniest guy I ever knew.
Russell Peters
My guiltiest pleasure in life is 'America's Funniest Home Videos.' I watch them all - old, new - I don't care. Despite how bad the writing is on the show. The people getting hit and hurt, that's hilarious.
Russell Peters
There's a big difference between race and culture. Because racially, I'm an Indian man. Culturally, not at all.
Russell Peters
I'm always amazed at how much people 'get' when I'm performing overseas. I've never had to change my act on my international shows I just make sure that I've taken some time to get to know the people in those countries before I perform. That's been really useful.
Russell Peters
Do it [stand-up comedy] because it feels like the right thing to do. Do it because you don't want to do anything else. There is something in you that does not want you to do anything else other than comedy.
Russell Peters
From the moment we are born our culture encourages us to believe that outer well-being is the source of inner fulfillment ... Wherever we turn the principle is confirmed, encouraging us to become 'human havings' and 'human doings' rather than human beings.

Im a hip-hop guy, and the first time I heard Eminem was in 96. He was on a record with Shabban Siddiq. I was like, Who is this guy? Hes dope! First album came out: awesome. Second album came out: awesome. Third album, I was like, Eh. He started to get really successful. He wasnt mine anymore.
