More quotes by Samantha Bee
I want to get a gold star. And I know that there are places that I need to go in order to get the story right. I'd rather do it right than have to do it twice.
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
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
A lot of comedy is really DIY. You're kind of doing it yourself.
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

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
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
We definitely sometimes get stuff that's different that we were expecting. I mean, that's part of the joy and the terror of interviewing real, live people. Sometimes they come along the journey with you, and most of the time they don't.

The worst thing you can do to a dictator is laugh at him.

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
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
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
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
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
I was totally unknown in the television and film industry in Canada.
