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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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.
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
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
It's not every day people fly you to New York for auditions.
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 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
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
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
The worst thing you can do to a dictator is laugh at him.
Samantha Bee
I don't feel like any of the things we're talking about are going to make the world end.
