I don't want to deconstruct what I do.

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've never had an abortion. And I don't know if I would. But, it doesn't mean that I wouldn't fight to the death for women to make their own choices for their own human bodies.

This is AIDS. AIDS is as real as an egg.

I know how to write. So I am not totally at the mercy of filmmakers, but it's not a bad point.

I became known for surprising audiences. Except now, if I surprise them every time, they expect that.

I don't think half my stuff would be funny if the audience didn't feel at least a little bit safe that it's not how I truly feel.
