'Baywatch' sucks so bad. I didn't watch it the first time around; I'm sure not going to buy a DVD. But really, you just kind of find out the categories of what's most foolish about these people. With Hasselhoff, it's obviously the huge man-tits with chest hair, probably a lot about his crappy acting, obviously the hamburger video - that's huge.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I gained weight, and that started a 32-year struggle with weight and exercise and body image problems.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
The only reason I was allowed to have a career for a quarter century as an insult comic is because it's all in jest and all for fun.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
A roast is really an honor. If they picked me to be roasted, I'd be the most flattered I'd be in my life. If I could pick some people to roast, I'd pick my heroes, Don Rickles and Howard Stern. Those are the people I'd like to give some honor to.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I usually get so warned when I go to Detroit, like, 'Oh my God, don't go to this section, don't go to that section.' I've never had any issues in Detroit. I love that there's enough of a racial mix of people to make fun of. I've always had a good time there.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I remember once doing a benefit for a Jewish charity and wearing an enormous cross. I kind of don't let the audience dictate anything to me. I sort of dictate to them, and they better be on board.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
It used to be that in media, Johnny Carson used to be the most important person when he would invite you over to sit on the couch after your comedy skit. Now it's whatever Howard Stern says goes.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
Basically, I think some of the weight helped take some of the walls down in reality, so basically I got a little more confident. I'm definitely not super confident, but I am confident that I don't have to hide behind those layers of fat and that I can actually open up to people a little more.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
Until I got the weight off, there was something inside of me that said, 'You hate yourself.' You get too depressed over the weight to really work on this. For whatever reason, I had to take the weight off to do this work.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I didn't feel ready to leave home, because it went from no freedom to all freedom. And I was like, 'Oh, my God, I don't know what I'm doing in college.' There seemed to be no like-minded people where I was... I didn't have a clan. I didn't have a choir... There was no safety net.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
Comedy is like music - there are genres and styles for every taste. Katy Perry is there for people who like frothy pop music. Metallica is there for people who like head-banging metal. And Susan Boyle is there for... well, I don't who the hell is listening to that freak of nature, but that's not the point. In art, there's something for everybody.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
In the end, censoring a comedian's jokes is on par with censoring 'Huckleberry Finn.' Now, I'm not comparing myself to Mark Twain - he had much wavier hair and a slightly thicker mustache. But when you deny an artist the chance to explore his art, you're forcing your beliefs on him.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
By being politically correct, you're closing your mind to a different point of view. Which sounds a lot like prejudice. Which is definitely not politically correct. See what I just did there?
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
William Shatner is living proof that if you are talented and nice, you can work in this industry forever.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I can really serve the audience instead of making this about me and about serving myself and my pocketbook.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
What we do as comics can be a service to people. It can make them laugh and take their mind off their problems for a few minutes.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I really think the biggest honor, as a comic, is to get roasted by either the Friars Club or the Comedy Central or someone like that. Because it really shows, you know, that you've arrived.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I'm way too famous and rich to be on a dating app, but if I get very desperate by the time I'm 60, I'll go on Tinder. Or I'll go on 'Millionaire Matchmaker'; I'll call Patti Stanger.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I honestly feel like 99 percent of people have some kind of self-hate about their looks, and if I can joke about mine, maybe they can feel better about theirs.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I've really been working on the emotional and internal issues that made me eat in the first place. It's been a real journey.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I have rage and anger issues. So I get mad about stuff in real life, and then I yell about it onstage, and luckily, something funny ends up coming out. What I'll do is tape-record it, and it will end up coming out even funnier. And I add more punch lines.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I would make a few jabs at myself and go for the audience - they are still as flawed as ever.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
By Hollywood standards I'm still fat: until you are zero, you are big. I do get cold a lot now. I used to have a lot of layers - now I got to get a fur coat.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I lost over 100 pounds, so I'm even angrier than ever. I don't stuff my feelings anymore with food. Skinny girls are funny.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I looked around and couldn't believe no one has written a show about women and eating. It's the biggest issue women have.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I thought I had to work at someplace everybody's heard of. It was never, 'I'm interested in such and such. I want to work in such and such magazine.' It was like, 'Oh, my G-d, I really need to work for somebody so people will think I'm OK.' So I got a job at 'Popular Mechanics'.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I'm not looking for 'outer esteem' anymore, what they call 'other esteem.' I'm looking for self-esteem. And people think that self-esteem is built with accomplishments. And, 'Hey, look what I did in my life.'
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
When you're dealing with a sick person, you're not important at all. You're just a nobody.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I order food like a normal human being. If I'm out to lunch, I'm going to order three courses like everybody else. I'm not going to feel like some kind of freak.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I got sick of trying everything. I tried every single thing imaginable - diet, exercise. I even bought a house on the health spa property, and I still gained weight.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
This thing happened where I noticed anytime I got together with four friends or more, the conversation goes to food.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I've gone through literally over 30 years of struggle with weight and food and body image... and I'm like, 'Wait a minute.'
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I'm not a private person. I like hanging out and talking to fans. But my life isn't so interesting that you want to see the inside of it.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
If Flavor Flav was any smaller and darker, Brad and Angelina would try to adopt him.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I keep getting asked out by really young, good looking boys and really ugly lesbians. So, even if I wanted to jump onto the tuna boat, I wouldn't because I'm not getting high-class babes that I should get at this level of my career. And I always know the ugly ones are serious and that the good-looking ones are goofing on me.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I'm not a political comic at all, so it would be weird if I just turned into a preachy, sort-of political commentator.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
When doing comedy, I do what makes me laugh. The first person I learned from said I should talk about things I am passionate about - that I love or hate - because the audience likes to see passion. The stuff I rant and rave about stems from a place that really pisses me off.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I kind of knew inside that I wanted to try comedy, but it was a mystery. How do you start? So when I hit 30 and I had done everything I wanted to do in journalism, so I went to a comedy class. I figured I'd learn how to do five minutes and see how it feels.
Quote by -Lisa Lampanelli
I lasted seven years as a journalist, and I've been doing comedy for twenty years.
