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.

More quotes by Samantha Bee
Nobody wants to have things blurted at them.
Samantha Bee
I'm not even reading about the U.S. election, I'm just totally involved in the Canadian one.
Samantha Bee
There's a very fine line between political comedian and activist, and I don't really think I fall over into the activist category.
Samantha Bee
I believe in breakfast. It's the one meal that my kids usually eat without a fuss, so that's huge. As for myself, I can't function without it, and I see it as a great way to get some healthy greens in, some coffee, and on a good day, maybe even some news of the world via the newspaper.
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
The people I really feel sorry for are all the writers out there who wrote these outrageous comedic romps about a grossly unqualified person who goes on to become a Vice Presidential candidate in a hotly contested presidential race. With hilarious results. They must be so bummed.
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
President Trump - God forbid - the country will be okay, I promise. I don't know exactly what the country will look like, but we will survive it.
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
I was totally unknown in the television and film industry in Canada.
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 take my citizenship extremely seriously. I find myself drawn to the Constitution more and more with each passing day of Donald Trump's presidency.
Samantha Bee
I am a cookbook fanatic.
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
I know, it's amazing to people that we have a political system, but we do.
Samantha Bee
I want to go to someone's world. I'll buy it if the world is full of zombies - I'll live there if you give me a strong enough vision of what that world looks like.
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
I hate birthdays. I thought that I only hated my own birthday, and then I realized that I hate my children's birthdays too.
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.
