More quotes by Samantha Bee
Kids do have to learn that life is a humiliating charade of endless disappointment and tragedy ultimately culminating in pain, decay, and death. My parents used to sing me to sleep with that one.
Samantha Bee
It's very disconcerting to have a camera shoved in your face. It's really discombobulating. If you're the least bit nervous you forget what you just said, you can't find your way through, you can't follow the logic of your own statements sometimes. It's a weird sensation. And I think that really helps to lock people in place.
Samantha Bee
Speaking for myself, I try to go out there on the stage and make jokes with people, so I'm not really thinking about the impact anything I have. If it does resonate with people, that's really great.
Samantha Bee
It's weird how you can make people feel comfortable, and then ask them an uncomfortable question, but it doesn't ruin their day.
Samantha Bee
I continue to be very shy. I think a lot of actors and performers are really weird, shy people working it out onstage. I don't know why that is.
Samantha Bee
It's not every day people fly you to New York for auditions.
Samantha Bee
If I could live in New York the rest of my life, I absolutely would, but it's also prohibitively expensive and you have to be working. New York is a lot nicer when you have a job.
Samantha Bee
Hopefully the person I'm trying to create is just a funny, dour, evil side of myself that has no other way to express itself. I don't model it after anyone in particular. Who would be like that? Who? I wouldn't want to meet that person. I wouldn't want to be interviewed by that person, I can tell you that.
Samantha Bee
You need to be able to agree from time to time if we're going to get anywhere. Once you have started a civil dialogue, it's a much smoother road to compromise. The key thing to remember is it's a daily practice.
Samantha Bee
Christmas: It's the only religious holiday that's also a federal holiday. That way, Christians can go to their services, and everyone else can sit at home and reflect on the true meaning of the separation of church and state.
Samantha Bee
I never believe them when they say that because you really have to sort of be aware of what's going on in the news in order to get the jokes on the show.
Samantha Bee
It is so expensive to take care of my hair and keep it looking like I was born with it, when my real hair is the color of rat fur.
Samantha Bee
Nobody wants to have things blurted at them.
Samantha Bee
I don't feel intimidated by any of the people I'm talking to or the situations I find myself in. I just try to make my nana proud.
Samantha Bee
It's very Canadian of me - or maybe it's more the Catholic schoolgirl in me - but I always really want to do a good job.
Samantha Bee
More people need to inhabit this world.
Samantha Bee
There's a danger zone if you take yourself too seriously. It's a terrible trap to fall into. I think it's the death of comedy.
Samantha Bee
You've got to have gumption. You've got to be willing to stand up on the stage for no money for ten years.
Samantha Bee
I'm shy, but I'm not clinically shy. I don't have social anxiety disorder or anything like that. I more have a gentle shyness. Like, I have a little trouble mingling at parties.
Samantha Bee
The worst thing you can do to a dictator is laugh at him.
