Sarah Silverman
This is AIDS. AIDS is as real as an egg.
Sarah Silverman
I just look like a transvestite when I try to dress up. There's no place to hide my balls.

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
I think when you're 25 you're still finding yourself, and you should have the freedom of that.
Sarah Silverman
