I know how to write. So I am not totally at the mercy of filmmakers, but it's not a bad point.
Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman
I think when you're 25 you're still finding yourself, and you should have the freedom of that.

Sarah Silverman
I can only speak from my own experience, and I would say that the depression I experienced feels like a chemical change. When it came over me, when it comes over me, it feels like it's coming over me like a flu.
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
Everyone's got their own velocity, and there's no real time frame with comedy.
Sarah Silverman
I like talking about things that are taboo, because it makes them not taboo anymore.
Sarah Silverman
Summer camp: the second worst camp for Jews.
Sarah Silverman
I can't wait till Sunday, I'm gonna see my favorite niece and my other niece.
Sarah Silverman
I'd love to do drama if it was interesting.
Sarah Silverman
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.
