Louis C. K.I've had, what, two years? Probably five good years. Before that I had twenty years of uncertainty and suffering and ego destruction and poverty. All those things. That'll always outweigh the good times.
Louis C. K.Comedy isn't polite and it isn't correct and it isn't accurate, even. It's just a mess. So that's the way that I approach it.
Louis C. K.People say, 'My phone sucks.' No, it doesnโt! The shittiest cellphone in the world is a miracle. Your life sucks. Around the phone.
Louis C. K.Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing. That's like a sports thing, it's not usually a comedy and writing thing.
Louis C. K.Sometimes I just want to tell a story regardless of whether it fits what the show is saying. Iโve been in a lot of writing rooms where somebody says an idea and everyoneโs dying, like laughing so theyโre delirious. Itโs like a black hole in a good way, everything starts to fall into it, you know what I mean.
