More quotes by Sarah Silverman
I don't think comedy comes from hotbeds of doing shtick. I think it usually comes from some kind of childhood humiliation or darkness.
Sarah Silverman
People say I'm a nice girl saying terrible things. I tend to say the opposite of what I think. You hope that the absolute power of that transcends, and reaches the audience.
Sarah Silverman
Someone on Twitter sent me a page from a textbook. It had a picture of a football player next to a picture of me. The juxtaposition was meant to illustrate two meanings of offensive. Seriously. It broke my heart. It's that accepted what I do is offensive?
Sarah Silverman
You know, I think whatever a comic talks about onstage is all they talk about offstage.
Sarah Silverman
I became known for surprising audiences. Except now, if I surprise them every time, they expect that.
Sarah Silverman
If you decide to do comedy that involves risk, risk means risk, and you can't complain of flesh wounds if you sit down at the table to play.
Sarah Silverman
This is AIDS. AIDS is as real as an egg.
Sarah Silverman
I'll be back. I'll be black. I'll be white black.
Sarah Silverman
I know how to write. So I am not totally at the mercy of filmmakers, but it's not a bad point.
Sarah Silverman
Everybody blames the Jews for killing Christ, and the Jews try to pass it off on the Romans. I'm one of the few people who believes it was the blacks.
Sarah Silverman
My mom was always someone who if, even now, I say I met a certain famous person, she always says, She's married to so and so!
Sarah Silverman
I started out in clubs, and I've always liked clubs. I like theaters because people are there for the show.
Sarah Silverman
I don't believe in Jesus or God. But I do believe that fundamentalists in religion or anything else are bad, and that they have more hate than love.
Sarah Silverman
I don't get this shitty attitude that only gays should care about gay issues and only women should care about women's issues.
Sarah Silverman
I do love the idea of ritual.
Sarah Silverman
It's funny how people will think I'm being sarcastic a lot and joking. So I'll say, I like your dress, and they'll go (bleep) you! Or I say something serious and they go, Oh, yeah, ha-ha. They're strangers. They're people who know me from comedy, but luckily I am on pretty much all the time!
Sarah Silverman
I'm lucky because I intentionally keep my overhead low, and so I can say, No, thank you.
Sarah Silverman
A bull in just about any shop is gonna be a mess.
Sarah Silverman
I will always try to be happy. I don’t think people really understand the value of happiness until they know what it’s like to be in that very, very dark place. It’s not romantic. Not even a little.
Sarah Silverman
Jews, black people - any people who are hated or who have suffered, either as individuals or as a people - use humour. It is a survival skill.
