People need to write articles and they need to have angles in them and I'm grateful when people are doing articles, but I always say there's not a great mystery to stand-up comedy.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
I don't want to pick a team. I want to make people laugh and hopefully bring some - be humorous about the human experience, you know, whether they're people of any stripes of life.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
I grew up in a Catholic family in the Midwest. And I knew people of different faiths and people that were atheists and people that were agnostic.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
Really, there are two types of people who go bowling. There are people who really, really love bowling. Then there are the people that are like: wouldnt it be hysterical if we went bowling?
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
Some people have their own bowling ball and their own bowling shoes... and no friends.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
Other people's children's birthday parties are the most joyful events you will ever resent having to attend.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
Some people that work for Hot Pockets came to my Denver Paramount Theater show. They brought these hot pocket boxes the size of suit cases for me to sign. I wrote "these are WMD's" on the boxes. The HP people seem to have a good sense of humor about all of it.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
That's my private business. Besides, the perception is that people that believe in God are stupid.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
My faith is very personal. It's not something that I want to project on other people.
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
Thanksgiving. It's like we didn't even try to come up with a tradition. The tradition is, we overeat. 'Hey, how about at Thanksgiving we just eat a lot?' 'But we do that every day!' 'Oh. What if we eat a lot with people that annoy the hell out of us?'
Quote by -Jim Gaffigan
I am an observer, I like to watch people. I am into psychology and people - how they act and such.
Quote by -Dane Cook
When people refer to 'Back in the Day,' it was a Wednesday. Just a little fun fact for you.
Quote by -Dane Cook
I say it with my tongue firmly planted in cheek but there's truth to it - being a comedian is very close to being a therapist. When you're working smaller clubs, you're listening. You're feeling an energy, you're going with a tone but when people start yelling out, you almost start a conversation with people.
Quote by -Dane Cook
I like fearless characters, people just not afraid to do anything it takes to make people laugh.
Quote by -Dane Cook
I feel like I was born and bred to stay self-motivated. I'm not one of those people who ho-hums and feels sorry for himself when something's bad.
Quote by -Dane Cook
I do try to keep my show very improvisational. I don't work off a set list; I like to keep it more in the moment. I like to have information about where I'm going, what might be happening in that particular region as well. I like for people to feel like the show is for them.
Quote by -Dane Cook
I think there's a definite template for what can be done for the future, but I'm not going to call myself a trailblazer. It didn't seem like a big idea to me: Let people know you appreciate their loyalty, and you say thank you. I was just doing what those punk bands did with fliers. Stand on the corner and say 'Come check us out.' Instead of fliers, it was going to be instant messages and e-mails.
Quote by -Dane Cook
Every joke has its origin - the punching people in the face joke. It hurts like hell to get punched in the face.
Quote by -Dane Cook
I don't know if I could kill someone with a frozen turkey because that is a lot of evidence to eat .... unless I found a whole room of people who also wanted that person dead.
Quote by -Dane Cook
You are the director of your own life story. Don't cast idiots or people will walk out during your 2nd act.
Quote by -Dane Cook
I want to be able to challenge myself. And do things that are away from what I usually do. Stand-up is safe for me. I can do stand-up in front of twenty-five thousand people, and I'm like, "I know how to do this. This is what I do." I want to be a little scared.
Quote by -Dane Cook
I have faith in all mankind. Well,not faith really, more like hopeful suspicion. And not "all" but 5 people. Mankind meaning computers.
Quote by -Dane Cook
Even when I go to a salad bar, I need to feel like I'm one of the first people there.
Quote by -Dane Cook
You have to realize, when you're a comedian, that you have to have a thick skin. And trust me, being onstage in front of people is already difficult enough. Somebody's personal attack in an email is not as hard as getting onstage.
Quote by -Dane Cook
Strip clubs are great places to meet interesting people you only wanna know for about 40 minutes.
Quote by -Dane Cook
I don't like people that litter. If you don't throw a wrapper in the trashcan and you just toss it out on the ground I wanna take you and toss you into outer space.
Quote by -Dane Cook
It's amazing how dumb people can impress you with how much stupider they can be when they really assert themselves.
Quote by -Dane Cook
When you're not in love, when you don't have love, everybody you know falls in love on like the same day - even Karen the douche bag falls in love! Even retarded people in your neighborhood are getting married on their front lawn as you drive by, “What? The 'tards just got married on their lawn. That's great! I have nobody, and the 'tards just committed to each other for a lifetime of 'tardiness”.
Quote by -Dane Cook
The shaman has access to a superhuman dimension and a superhuman condition, and by being able to do that he affirms the potential for transcendence in all people. He is an exemplar, if you will.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
People have a right to get stoned. They have a right to think and explore their own minds. This is as intimate a part of their being as their sexuality. Any culture which mitigates that is clearly afraid of a full and fair and open dialogue about what reality is and what real human values ought to be.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
In a sense, sexuality is the built-in psychedelic experience that only a very few people manage to evade.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Ayahuasca loves to take prideful people and rub their nose in it. I mean it can make you beg for mercy like nothing. You have to really approach it humbly.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
The shaman is a person who is able to transcend the dimensional confines of cultural existence. They know more than the people they serve. The people they serve are like children within the game of culture. Only the shaman knows that culture is a game. Everyone else takes it seriously. That's how he can do his magic.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Even a billion people is too much. There's no way back to the simplicity we once knew, but there may be a way forward to the simplicity that we once knew.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Shamanism is not some obscure concern of cultural anthropologists. Shamanism is how religion was practiced for its first million years. Up until about 12,000 years ago there was no other form of religion on this planet. That was how people attained some kind of access to the sacred.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
Capitalism is going to deal itself out of existence, but before it does that, you're gonna pay $50 for a latte, because inflation is going impoverish all of us before people get pissed off enough to realize that all of the last hundred years of economic progress was actually a shell game to create billionaires, while the great masses of people saw their standard of living eroded and destroyed.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
There is no hierarchy of elder knowledge in my social region of things. There are only people learning and sharing in a very complex environment.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
The terror of drugs is a terror of giving up control. This is what people are most alarmed about by psychedelics, is the giving up control.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
One of the things that people don't do enough of when they do psychedelic work is spend time in the library.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
People are, in the confines of their own apartments, becoming Magellans of the interior world and reaching out to this alien thing and beginning to map it and bring back stories that can only be compared to the kind of stories that the chroniclers of the New World brought back to Spain at the close of the 15th century.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
What people notice about [when they are on] LSD is either what's right or wrong with themselves or how freaky the world is.
Quote by -Terence McKenna
