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.”

“Well, I'm not afraid to say something if I think it's funny, even if it's harsh or racist.”

“But I think you can make fun of anything as long as it's funny enough.”

“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.”

“Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn't. It focuses on facts.”

“It shows the truth - that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it.”
