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 don't wanna be labeled as straight or labeled as gay. I just want people to look at me and see me as white.

I learned pretty early is I never defend my material; it's for other people to if someone is offended. It's so subjective, and if you don't find it funny, it's definitely going to be offensive.

I can't cater to everyone's needs and what they're going to be offended by; that's one freedom I have.

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.

I'm Jewish, but I'm totally not.

I just don't let that mentality be a part of my world.
