I don't set out to offend or shock, but I also don't do anything to avoid it.
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.

Nothing is taboo if you have an angle on it. That said, critiquing women's human shells isn't my thang. Though there's probably something funny or interesting to be said about those who do it, and what that comes from.
Sarah Silverman -
I think fake boobs have done great things for real boobs. I think people finally appreciate real boobs. People like real boobs. I do. I also enjoy the fact that they are life-nourishers.
Sarah Silverman -
Earlier in my career, I was really tight, really together, and knew who I was and I was confident. I kind of feel in between now.
Sarah Silverman -
Being with friends felt like a burden. I remember just sobbing.
Sarah Silverman -
When you're a comic, it's like being born gay. It's what you want to do every night when your other friends are out at night going to parties.
Sarah Silverman -
But I think you can make fun of anything as long as it's funny enough.

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.
Sarah Silverman -
I love going to weddings. And I love it when my friends get married. I'm not against marriage but it's just not for me. I'm a vegetarian, but I don't have a problem if you want a hamburger.
Sarah Silverman -
I became known for surprising audiences. Except now, if I surprise them every time, they expect that.
Sarah Silverman -
I can get a script and go, "Well, I'd rather do stand-up." I don't hold movies in higher regard. I love making videos and posting. I love TV.
Sarah Silverman -
When I was three, my dad thought it would be hilarious to teach me swear words, then have me say them to his friends. They would laugh and laugh. I realize now the laugh was pure shock value, but it felt really good, and I've been chasing it ever since.
Sarah Silverman -
I was Minnie Mouse for Halloween, every year when I was little. Then, I had the Cinderella nightgown, when I was really little, that I begged my mother to wear to school. I was also Snow White a lot.

Anything television trivia I'm good at. But when you're on your couch, you're really good at it, but when you're standing there, it's probably scary.
Sarah Silverman -
Women don't ask to be raped, but there are some that are asking to be motorboated
Sarah Silverman -
Also, I learned whether you are gay, bisexual, it doesn't matter, you know... because, at the end of the day, they're both gross. But mostly, I learned that elderly black women are wise beyond their years... but younger black women are prostitutes.
Sarah Silverman -
I'm very lucky in that I still experience highs and lows. And I think those lows are important. But I am not totally paralyzed, and it keeps me from just complete state of paralysis - and emotionally and really kind of almost physically.
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 -
Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn't. It focuses on facts.
Sarah Silverman
-
I don't think half my stuff would be funny if the audience didn't feel at least a little bit safe that it's not how I truly feel.
Sarah Silverman -
If you quit being cunty, the whole world will stop being against you.
Sarah Silverman -
I like trying jokes and seeing the response, and if I end up doing it in my act, it won't be 140 characters. Twitter is helpful that way to me. It's like a message in a bottle. But a lot of times I think I tweet the stuff I would like to say to teenage me.
Sarah Silverman -
You have to be able to laugh at yourself. That's what I tell Asian people all the time.
