I never want to be in a position where I have to defend my material. It's too subjective. It's for other people to defend or not defend.

More quotes by Sarah Silverman
Your inability to see yourself clearly is what's keeping you alive.
Sarah Silverman
I talk to friends who get their feelings hurt when they read Twitter mentions. I have an amazing solution - don't read Twitter mentions.
Sarah Silverman
Comics who grew up surviving their childhood by being able to be the first one to make the joke about their weight or their hairy arms - like me - whatever they're insecure about, whatever they're apologizing for, that becomes their strength.
Sarah Silverman
Nothing is taboo if you have an angle on it.
Sarah Silverman
I was sent to sleepover camp since I was 6, and you know, it's a recipe for disaster.
Sarah Silverman
Everyone's got their own velocity, and there's no real time frame with comedy.
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 buy water at the liquor store across the street from where I live. So I'm walking into the door, and standing, loitering, outside the door is a man. And I walk by him to go in, and he says, I want pussy! Now, I don't want to seem conceited or anything, but he was talking about me!
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
The reason the rest of us remember, like, when John Lennon died, is because it's a moment when adrenaline is surging.
Sarah Silverman
The good news is hopeful doesn't mean dumb. The bad news is cynical doesn't mean smart.
Sarah Silverman
I really think everything is fair game.
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
I can't cater to everyone's needs and what they're going to be offended by that's one freedom I have.
Sarah Silverman
I think the difference between being miserable and finding happiness is just a matter of perspective. If you live your life defining yourself by what other people think of you, it's a form of self-torture.
Sarah Silverman
Strippers should be role-models for little girls. If only for the fact that they wax their assholes.
Sarah Silverman
Sometimes I am screwing around, and sometimes I get way too serious, but I am a pretty sincere person.
Sarah Silverman
It shows the truth - that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it.
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
You know, I think whatever a comic talks about onstage is all they talk about offstage.
