That still feels like the most accurate description - I felt homesick, but I was home.

I don't compromise. I only do the stuff I want to do.

I happen to think that there are already tons of perfectly good babies out there already born.

The reason the rest of us remember, like, when John Lennon died, is because it's a moment when adrenaline is surging.

I remember my first standup act when I was seventeen; I did a really lame song about being flat chested. I was doing it in New York, and I remember Kevin Brennan, the guy I lost my virginity to, was like "That song doesn't make sense, you have tits."

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.

People are always introducing me as Sarah Silverman, Jewish comedienne. I hate that! I wish people would see me for who I really am — I'm white!
