Quote

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.

Image
I do love the idea of ritual.
Sarah Silverman
Image
I think when you're 25 you're still finding yourself, and you should have the freedom of that.
Sarah Silverman
Image
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
Image
You want the actors to disappear into roles and stay under the radar, and that gets harder when someone is known for their actual personality, or who they seem to be.
Sarah Silverman
Image
I became known for surprising audiences. Except now, if I surprise them every time, they expect that.
Sarah Silverman
Image
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.
Sarah Silverman
Image
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
Image
Why would I become involved with something that doesn't include everyone? If you're getting married today, it's the equivalent of joining a country club that doesn't allow blacks or Jews.
Sarah Silverman
Image
Jews, black people - any people who are hated or who have suffered, either as individuals or as a people - use humour. It is a survival skill.
Sarah Silverman
Image
I love making videos on my couch. You can put those on the Internet fast. I can express myself.
Sarah Silverman
Image
Everybody blames the Jews for killing Christ, and the Jews try to pass it off on the Romans. I'm one of the few people who believes it was the blacks.
Sarah Silverman
Image
It shows the truth - that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it.
Sarah Silverman
Image
Strippers should be role-models for little girls. If only for the fact that they wax their assholes.
Sarah Silverman
Image
I'm so glad Courtney Love is here I left my crack in my other purse.
Sarah Silverman
Image
Drew Friedman isn't just a brilliant artist. He takes you to a place. He takes you back in time. He makes you smell the stale cigarettes and cold brisket and you say, thank you for the pleasure.
Sarah Silverman
Image
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
Image
I don't believe in Jesus or God. But I do believe that fundamentalists in religion or anything else are bad, and that they have more hate than love.
Sarah Silverman
Image
You know, I think whatever a comic talks about onstage is all they talk about offstage.
Sarah Silverman
Image
If I don't do stand-up for two weeks, I get freaked out.
Sarah Silverman
Image
Well, I'm not afraid to say something if I think it's funny, even if it's harsh or racist.
