The thing that drives me crazy is when comics say 'I have low self-esteem.' No you don't. You're standing on stage asking people to pay. You don't play an instrument. You want people to pay to hear what's in your mind. You don't have low self-esteem. You might have other problems.
From Colin Quinn
Everybody's funny in different ways.
Everybody's got a different sense of humor. It's just different styles.
I'm always working on stuff. But they never materialize. I'm always working on movies and TV shows.
I'm quietly becoming New York's premiere actor. People don't understand. They have me pigeon-holed as a comedian.
I'm just another guy who thinks he's smarter than he is, in a long line of them.
The ancient Greeks were the first ones to say an unexamined life is not worth living. They don't tell you of course what we found out, an examined life not that fascinating either.
My name has zero value.
When I look back now I realize I was such an obnoxious kid but, you know, I went to schools like you, like a public school in New York so compared to the anarchy that was going on there, they really wouldn't - I wasn't like a bad kid. I saw people come in and punch the teachers.
I was a class clown.
