More quotes by Sarah Silverman
I'd love to do drama if it was interesting.
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 think there is a woman in her 40s who doesn't, kind of, examine herself in the mirror.
Sarah Silverman
Like I said about Seinfeld and Chris Rock, they're a great combination of brilliance and hard work. [But] there are people who are brilliant and don't work hard, and there are people who are brilliant and sabotage themselves.
Sarah Silverman
You have to be able to laugh at yourself. That's what I tell Asian people all the time.
Sarah Silverman
Jesus is magic, because he turned water into wine. I think he made the statue of liberty disappear in the 80s or something.
Sarah Silverman
Nothing is taboo if you have an angle on it.
Sarah Silverman
I don't think comedy comes from hotbeds of doing shtick. I think it usually comes from some kind of childhood humiliation or darkness.
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
I really think everything is fair game.
Sarah Silverman
Letting your freak flag fly is something, no matter who you are, that takes great bravery, straight up.
Sarah Silverman
Growing up, I always loved Disney movies, but the first movie I remember seeing is 'Sleepers,' so I wasn't really taken to children's movies.
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
I dress normal because I want people to treat me regular. And their brains explode. It's really fun.
Sarah Silverman
If you quit being cunty, the whole world will stop being against you.
Sarah Silverman
Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn't. It focuses on facts.
Sarah Silverman
If I don't do stand-up for two weeks, I get freaked out.
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 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
I started out in clubs, and I've always liked clubs. I like theaters because people are there for the show.
