I mean, I talk about being Jewish a lot. It’s funny because I do think of myself as Jewish ethnically, but I’m not religious at all. I have no religion. – Sarah Silverman
Men like to squash you. I just want someone who’s happy with himself, happy with his life. He doesn’t have to squash mine. – Sarah Silverman
Growing up, I always loved Disney movies, but the first movie I remember seeing is ‘Sleepers,’ so I wasn’t really taken to children’s movies. – Sarah Silverman
I’m a very ritualistic person. I have to wash my face twice, and on the second wash before I rinse, I brush my teeth, then I rinse, then I floss, then I put on moisturizer. I’m ritualistic. Jewishness is very ritualistic. – Sarah Silverman
It fills me with a weird rage to wear shoes that make me not able to walk easily or run if I had to. It feeds into this whole ‘war on women’ thing in my head. – Sarah Silverman
I definitely think that prescription drugs, like antidepressants, are prescribed so cavalierly, anyone can get anything, but I need it. I do think that it needs to work hand and hand with therapy. – Sarah Silverman
Jews, black people – any people who are hated or who have suffered, either as individuals or as a people – use humour. It is a survival skill. – 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
Traditionally, I have no right to talk about race. I’m white; I didn’t grow up in an all-black neighborhood. But the license I see for myself is I’m a member of the world. – Sarah Silverman
And then before going back for my sophomore year, I decided to change my major to arts and sciences, and my dad cut a deal with me: He said if I’d quit school he’d pay my rent for the next three years, as if I were in school. – Sarah Silverman
Relations between black and white would be greatly improved if we were more accepting of our fears and our feelings and more vocal about it. – Sarah Silverman
It shows the truth – that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it. – Sarah Silverman
I think maybe I became funny because as a kid, I was a Jew in a town of no Jews, and being funny just instinctively came about as a way to put people at ease around me. – 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
I’m always writing; I’m always jotting things down on paper or making notes in my iPhone. Then I’ll make myself sit down and kind of shape it up, but there’s really no other way to practice other than onstage. – Sarah Silverman
I think I’ve been called edgy – but in all honesty, there is a safety in what I do because I’m always the idiot. Unless you’re just listening to buzz words and not taking into account the context of the situation, you see I’m always the ignoramus. – Sarah Silverman
I have very vivid dreams – almost always action-adventure. I’m often on the run. 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 like my life alone. I mean, I love being with friends, and I love kissing and loving someone to pieces. But it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t ultimately start judging you and your choices. – Sarah Silverman
I have no religion, but I can’t escape being extremely Jewish ethnically – that is, culturally. In other words, I’m not religious, but I worry and I’m neurotic. And I’m very good with money. – Sarah Silverman
In terms of television and movies, I’ve been really interested in seeing the partnership of comedy and beauty and heart. I think they can go together really well and really thoughtfully. But, I’m a total one-hour drama addict. I think when you’re a comedian, you tend towards dramas because that’s the less stressful thing to watch. – Sarah Silverman
I’m doing a lot of stand-up, but not like when you’re living in New York and you can do three sets a night and it’s your life, and you sleep all day and you wake up and you eat with a bunch of other comics and then get ready for the night. – Sarah Silverman
