More quotes by Sarah Silverman
People who like what I do come in all shapes and sizes. Not sure what the common denominator is per se. Oh, it's meeee! But to be embraced by a progressive community means something to me and this one feels like home.
Sarah Silverman
Look at the people who are kind of the funniest cultures, they're the cultures of the people who have been the most oppressed, black people and Jews. Not that they're the only funny people, but culturally, it comes from the pain, you know?
Sarah Silverman
Your inability to see yourself clearly is what's keeping you alive.
Sarah Silverman
I have no religion, but I can't escape being extremely Jewish ethnically - that is, culturally. In other words, I'm not religious, but I worry and I'm neurotic. And I'm very good with money.

Sarah Silverman
I like trying jokes and seeing the response, and if I end up doing it in my act, it won't be 140 characters. Twitter is helpful that way to me. It's like a message in a bottle. But a lot of times I think I tweet the stuff I would like to say to teenage me.
Sarah Silverman
You know, I think whatever a comic talks about onstage is all they talk about offstage.
Sarah Silverman
Making my family laugh when I was little - it became an addiction. It was a kind of survival.
Sarah Silverman
I looked up and saw the shape of a heart made by the silhouette of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon kissing.
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 don't set out to offend or shock, but I also don't do anything to avoid it.
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
As soon as a women gets to an age where she has opinions and she's vital and she's strong, she's systematically shamed into hiding under a rock.
Sarah Silverman
If I were somebody else looking at my character, I'd be like, She's beautiful. I'm practicing. I'm not succeeding.
Sarah Silverman
Strippers should be role-models for little girls. If only for the fact that they wax their assholes.
Sarah Silverman
I think Jews tend to hold me in fairly high regard.
