More quotes by Samantha Bee
I was totally unknown in the television and film industry in Canada.
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 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

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
Nobody wants to have things blurted at them.
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
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
The worst thing you can do to a dictator is laugh at him.
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
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
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 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'm not even reading about the U.S. election, I'm just totally involved in the Canadian one.
Samantha Bee
It's not every day people fly you to New York for auditions.
Samantha Bee
The best part about poker is there's no down side.
Samantha Bee
I don't feel like any of the things we're talking about are going to make the world end.
Samantha Bee
When you can agree on one thing, you should have no expectation that suddenly a person is converted to your way of thinking. You have to be willing to be frustrated constantly.
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
