almost basically exciting experience jokes laugh people religious room special thousand time
Ultimately, jokes are this really special thing that we can all share. It's exciting to have basically a thousand people in a room together that can laugh at the same time, but I think of it almost as, like, a religious experience.
laughing retweet
Essentially, retweets are like laughs.
laughing
I struggled with that notion early in my career. 'I know this is funny but nobody is laughing.' This thought occurred for years.
thinking laughing serious
I think serious situations actually make for the best kind of belly laughs. But theyre also the hardest to convert into comedy at the outset.
laughing film dramatic
I like films that are so funny, dramatic and lifelike simultaneously, that you are laughing and cringing simultaneously all throughout the film.
laughing jazz comedy
Sometimes when I do a joke and it doesn't get a lot of laughs, it kind of feels like I'm doing jazz. That's kinda cool because jazz is cool, but sometimes jazz sucks ... Maybe I'm the Kenny G of comedy.
laughing people looks
Eugene Mirman is the Andy Warhol of comedy. People look to him for what's next in comedy, and he emails these people back promptly. The Will to Whatevs put me in a great mood because I was laughing out loud. Alone. That's hard to do.
album mostly saw school steven
When I was in high school I saw Steven Wright, a brilliant one-liner comedian, and I thought: 'That's what I should do; I should write one-liners.' And I did. My first album is mostly one-liners.
city comedians politics
There are comedians who focus on everything that is external. They focus on politics and the news, what's going on in that city and that night.
comedians moved nice
When I moved to New York, I was wide-eyed. I was nice to everyone, which comedians hate.
met saw
When I met my wife, I was a working comic, so the first week we went out, she saw me perform, and it was very clear what I do.
act concert develop playing
Over the years, I managed to develop this comedy career, went from opening act to headliner at comedy clubs, to playing concert halls, and had an off-Broadway show with 'Sleepwalk With Me.'
express girls interest respond time
I was very much a late bloomer. That's not to say that girls didn't express interest in me from time to time, but I just, I did not know how to respond to that.
careful people revealing
I think the thing I had to be careful about while writing a book was not to say anything that was revealing about other people that they would be uncomfortable with. I didn't want to make people angry - that's a real risk.
