More quotes by Vir Das
I do films which get me out of my comedian routine so that I don't get bored being a stand-up comedian. And with films, it's here today, gone tomorrow. So stand-up comedy is here to stay for me.
Vir Das
I've been reading a lot of books on history, and watching a lot of educational TV. Wikipedia too, even though it is not reliable.
Vir Das
Someday social media might, hopefully in some small measure, wake up to the fact that other people's failures are not your successes.
Vir Das
Class I to XII wasn't much help I was always a mediocre student. But when I pursued higher education and studied economics with theatre or psychology with science fiction, I got a whole new world view.
Vir Das
Relationship humour gets the most laughs. If I'm able to get the women laughing, men will have to laugh along because they would be scared to death.
Vir Das
I did theatre in the U.S. because there, content-wise, it's very light. In India, theatre tends to get preachy.
Vir Das
The idea is to do out-of-the-box films that showcase my versatility and talent.
Vir Das
Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error.
Vir Das
Women do come up to me after a show, but it's usually to say, 'Yhank you for making us laugh,' and all that.
Vir Das
Whatever movies I sign, they have to get me out of my comfort zone. Otherwise, I would get bored very easily.
Vir Das
In 'Delhi Belly,' I was bald in other movies I always carried a different look.
Vir Das
Delhi women - they're the most beautiful women! But the fact remains that they know they are gorgeous.
Vir Das
My personal favorite is Woody Allen, who is just amazing as a comedian.
Vir Das
I have a rule - 'funny is funny!' When I write comedy, it's not my aim to upset people. I will be offensive, edgy and immature, but I will also be very intelligent and relevant. At my shows, there are no holy cows.
Vir Das
All of the films I'm doing are young, urban, high-concept, funny films. That's the zone where I'd like to play and have fun in.
Vir Das
To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.
Vir Das
I love the food, the girls, the sky and everything that is Delhi. I have very fond memories of the Moolchand flyover.
Vir Das
In Bollywood, I think Boman Irani and Vinay Pathak are unbelievably good at comedy.
Vir Das
I feel like I share a great relationship with my audience where they trust my judgment and choice of films and sense of comedy.
Vir Das
Chennai is one of the scariest crowds to face. Everyone looks so conservative, but once you crack the first joke, they are so appreciatively loud that they will hit you with a laugh that will scare you stiff and yet give you energy. Chennaiites give me the loudest laughs it's the coolest crowd to perform for.
