More quotes by Sarah Silverman
I learned that people in wheelchairs are allowed to have marathons … which, to me, seems like cheating, but what are you gonna say?
Sarah Silverman
I think Jews tend to hold me in fairly high regard.
Sarah Silverman
If I have to write by a certain time, I can pull through, but usually I just let stuff happen, hanging out with comic friends - or bringing a basic idea on stage and seeing if it goes anywhere.
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 do love poop. I can't help it. The heart wants what it wants. I enjoy being clever and pithy and political, but nothing's going to get me like dumb stuff.
Sarah Silverman
You know, I think whatever a comic talks about onstage is all they talk about offstage.
Sarah Silverman
Summer camp: the second worst camp for Jews.
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
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
Nothing is taboo if you have an angle on it. That said, critiquing women's human shells isn't my thang. Though there's probably something funny or interesting to be said about those who do it, and what that comes from.
Sarah Silverman
I think maybe I became funny because as a kid, I was a Jew in a town of no Jews, and being funny just instinctively came about as a way to put people at ease around me.
Sarah Silverman
As soon as a women gets to an age where she has opinions and she's vital and she's strong, she's systematically shamed into hiding under a rock.
Sarah Silverman
Don’t forget, God can see you masturbating. But don’t stop. He’s almost there.
Sarah Silverman
I think when you're 25 you're still finding yourself, and you should have the freedom of that.
Sarah Silverman
I dress normal because I want people to treat me regular. And their brains explode. It's really fun.
Sarah Silverman
Everyone's got their own velocity, and there's no real time frame with comedy.
Sarah Silverman
If you decide to do comedy that involves risk, risk means risk, and you can't complain of flesh wounds if you sit down at the table to play.
Sarah Silverman
I became known for surprising audiences. Except now, if I surprise them every time, they expect that.
Sarah Silverman
People who follow their religion to the letter of the law are just silly. I mean, I want to tell Hasidic Jews I promise you, God will not mind if you wear a nice cotton blend in the summer.
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.
