I know how to write. So I am not totally at the mercy of filmmakers, but it's not a bad point.
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
The female nudity in movies is always sexualized.
Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman
I was a bedwetter until I was about 15, and it was humiliating.
Sarah Silverman
I have lows, you know, everybody does ... but I kind of know how to handle it. I like to let myself wallow in it. I enforce it with terribly sad music, and it kind of pushes me through to the other side eventually, and I always know it's going to pass.
Sarah Silverman
Letting your freak flag fly is something, no matter who you are, that takes great bravery, straight up.
Sarah Silverman
Mommy is one of the chosen people … and daddy believes that Jesus is magic!
Sarah Silverman
It's just hard to say, Well, I do this, which means this. If I'm telling you exactly who I am, then there's nothing for the audience to say.
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
Strippers should be role-models for little girls. If only for the fact that they wax their assholes.
