More quotes by Sarah Silverman
Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn't. It focuses on facts.
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 think the difference between being miserable and finding happiness is just a matter of perspective. If you live your life defining yourself by what other people think of you, it's a form of self-torture.
Sarah Silverman
I’ve always had dreams. When I was little, I’d go to sleep with my head on my hands, which were in fists like I was looking through a camera. I felt like sleep was the movies - just drifting off to the movies.
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.

By the time I would have graduated, at 22, I was a writer and featured performer on Saturday Night Live.
Sarah Silverman
Being with friends felt like a burden. I remember just sobbing.
Sarah Silverman
I started out in clubs, and I've always liked clubs. I like theaters because people are there for the show.
Sarah Silverman
I first did stand-up when I was 17, and then I passed out fliers for a comedy club (in New York City) and I got onstage whenever I could. And musical theater went out the window as soon as I started doing stand-up.
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 enjoy the last quarter of all basketball games.
Sarah Silverman
Nothing is taboo if you have an angle on it.
Sarah Silverman
Summer camp: the second worst camp for Jews.
Sarah Silverman
Mommy is one of the chosen people … and daddy believes that Jesus is magic!
Sarah Silverman
I just don't let that mentality be a part of my world.
Sarah Silverman
Letting your freak flag fly is something, no matter who you are, that takes great bravery, straight up.
Sarah Silverman
I became known for surprising audiences. Except now, if I surprise them every time, they expect that.
Sarah Silverman
What makes Disney movies and Pixar movies always so good, hey take time and they're constantly honing, and tweaking, and rejiggering things, and taking influences from every cog, including myself, that can help. Any place where there can be inspiration. They make every moment very layered and very rich.
Sarah Silverman
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
I like to think of myself as 'hot-larious' I'm cute, but I'm totally approachable.
Sarah Silverman
