Sarah Silverman
I mean, I love being with friends and I love kissing and loving someone to pieces. But it's hard to find someone who doesn't ultimately start judging you and your choices.
Sarah Silverman
Your inability to see yourself clearly is what's keeping you alive.
Sarah Silverman
I don't care if you think I'm racist. I just want you to think I'm thin.
Sarah Silverman
I'm Jewish, but I'm totally not.
Sarah Silverman
Making my family laugh when I was little - it became an addiction. It was a kind of survival.
Sarah Silverman
