Sarah Silverman
I love children. I'm embarrassingly baby-crazy.
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 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
Sometimes I am screwing around, and sometimes I get way too serious, but I am a pretty sincere person.
Sarah Silverman
You have to take the chance to bomb and disappoint audiences.
Sarah Silverman
Nothing is taboo if you have an angle on it.
Sarah Silverman
Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn't. It focuses on facts.
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
There are so many great comedies, right now. I like how comedies are really mixing. They're not just one thing. It can be very moving and dramatic, and yet hilarious.
Sarah Silverman
I am Jewish and proud of this culturally and ethnically - the ways in which I was born this way and am happy with whom I am.
