I'm very lucky in that I still experience highs and lows. And I think those lows are important. But I am not totally paralyzed, and it keeps me from just complete state of paralysis - and emotionally and really kind of almost physically.

People say, like, "I love when you smile because part of your mouth goes up," then I never organically smile again.

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!

I really think everything is fair game.

I do enjoy and feel compelled to talk about things that are taboo. One, because I think I'm a troublemaker inside, if someone says, "Don't say that," it's all I want to say. And also, something I learned in therapy ... which is darkness can't exist in the light, and then that made me think of something that Mr. Rogers said, which is, "If it's mentionable, it's manageable."

The audience works as such a mob. They either all laugh or all don't laugh, and, you know, changes from audience to audience.

Men like to squash you. I just want someone who's happy with himself, happy with his life. He doesn't have to squash mine.
