Surround yourself with a bunch of like-minded people, and you'll soak up their habits like a starved sponge. Fat people with fat friends care less about their weight.

More quotes by 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
I am edgy, raw, offensive, vulgar, untruthful, but intelligent. My jokes are always realistic. I do not make fun of children or people who cannot fight back. That is my limitation.
Vir Das
I'm a stand-up comedian-turned-actor-turned-vampire at night.
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
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
Comedy comes from confusion.
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
In a big Bollywood romantic film, taking my shirt off and spreading the hand towards the mountain with dancers behind me are not my cup of tea.
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
In Bollywood, people struggle because there is a new person joining every week, who joins an assembly line of people who are very replaceable. But if you are unique, you don't have to struggle that much.
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
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
A stand-up comedian will never be the life of a party. Instead, he will be the guy who is standing at a corner and observing people.
Vir Das
In 'Delhi Belly,' I was bald in other movies I always carried a different look.
Vir Das
I auditioned nine times for 'Delhi Belly,' and it was torturous!
Vir Das
Time management is the mantra of my life.
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
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
Whatever movies I sign, they have to get me out of my comfort zone. Otherwise, I would get bored very easily.
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.
