Bill Burr

To me, 'rant' was ranting and raving. So to me, it's heightened. emotional flipping out, frothing at the mouth. Where I grew up, that was a rant. I don't consider what I'm doing ranting.

I love doing radio, and I love doing stand-up, obviously.

Everyone should just drive out to the Mojave Desert and just experience it, and it's a fun place to live.

You have to show up at 7 in the morning and be on like it's 9 at night. It's a skill. Some comics run from it, and they hate doing it, but the comics that are pros understand how important it is, and they get good at it.

I used to think you had to live this miserable life and that that would make you funnier, but you don't. The misery will come. The misery will find you.

What happens is when you have a kid, you are a unique human being, so you are going to have a unique experience. No one can really tell you what youre going to feel.

You have to understand how bad I wanted to be a comedian, how much I loved doing it. I still can't believe I get to do this for a living and have people come up and want to see me.

People focus too much on whether there's a Democrat or a Republican in office. It's not like this guy Kim-Jong Un got into power the second Trump got into power. It's not like he wasn't a problem. It's not like we haven't had warmongers. It's not like corporations haven't been the main influence on what we're doing around the world.

I don't think that hard about why people come out to my shows or trying to influence them or anything. I'm just happy that they show up.

Rich people never go to war. You ask a college kid to go to war, and he's like, 'Umm, I'm taking this sociology class, and I think war is, like, really stupid, and my roommate's, like, half Afghani, so it's going to cause some static.'

I have friends in this business who put pictures of their kids on Facebook. That's not something I would do.

As far as my mindset changing, I see myself having more empathy in my older age.
