Ilana Glazer Quotations

Everyone in New York is fluid and thinking and inspiring each other.

I feel like a feminist is gender equality.

I decided I would go to NYU so I could get into the comedy world and have legit housing, and my parents would not have trusted investing in a straight-up comedy career.

I miss improv. I hate it in a way - watching it, doing it - but only because it's so challenging and nerve wracking. Improv is the only belief system I've ever experienced that directly works on how to be. Just how to be.

If people believe in your material, they will do whatever it takes to get it done. Even if they don't, but you make it as awesome an experience as possible, they will help you reach your goals.

The thing about the performance part... starting with improv and standup, you're starting with yourself as the character, and I don't feel as much like, 'Oh, I'm a vessel for -' I feel like someone who calls themselves an actor is a vessel.

All my brother Eliot and I did as kids was film sketches.

I write 'Broad City,' so I connect it to me.

In a bigger picture, all over the world is a boys' club.

What's fun is that the characters in 'Broad City' are rushing and hustling, and our process reflects that.

When somebody asks what I do, I guess I say 'writer' first.

In every character that you play... I mean, I don't think I'll ever be the type of actor or performer per se who transforms, you know? Like Claire Danes transforms into Temple Grandin - I'm not gonna do that.

We're [with Ilana Glazer] both totally upfront and proud feminists. We're not being all secretive about it. I feel like we're pretty blatant in our approach.

I don't enjoy cooking when I'm high. And I don't want to be eating garbage because then I'll feel gross.

We're big Hillary [Clinton] supporters. For a lot of reasons.

It's exciting to get to write characters that love each other and fight for each other.

I think it'd be pretty cool to fly. Actually, I'd like to be Language Gal. My super power is that I can speak every language.

I'm Language Gal. I can speak any language presented to me. And I look exactly like Halle Berry.

'Broad City' [series] has a wild side, but it also has a very heartfelt side. It's very human.

When we were on tour, a lot of people just dropped joints on the merch table for us. That was great. Every time, I was like, "Thank you so much."

I'm not going to watch two TV shows with vaginas in them unless somebody tells me why they're different!

"Diiiie men." If you play any Broad City episode backwards, that's all we're saying.

I think it's kind of crazy that we're still calling comedians "female comedians." That seems more like a sneak attack.

Biking is a good alternative. Use the city as your gym.

You can survive in New York without much, if you're careful. You have to make your own food at home, and don't buy a lot of clothes.

There was this one lady in Colorado who made us something ceramic, where it could have been either a ring holder or a bowl cleaner. She was just like, "Here you go." And we were both like, "Oh my god! Thank yoooou!"

That's what's nice about being on Comedy Central. You can't show your boobs even if you wanted to.

I'm surprised when people who don't usually smoke weed are into edibles. I can't believe that.

You can get real wacky on edibles.

I don't want to watch people fighting.

It's nice to have cool parents. They're cool with everything.

You got to miss class to do it. Like, many periods of school. And then they took us to an elementary or middle school, and we told kids that they could be cool when they grew up even if they didn't do drugs.

I didn't start smoking weed till my junior year. I had a boyfriend who smoked a lot, and I was like, "Oh, I guess I'm moving on to this phase of life." I didn't fight it at all.

I would love to host someone's bar mitzvah. I would love to do that.

I don't take Twitter too seriously in the physical world.

I'm talking ideal, I live in heaven, and my stomach is bottomless.

It's interesting, gender versus race. I think people say that to women more: 'Oh, you're my favorite female.' They wouldn't say 'favorite black comic.'

The nude thing, I don't know. It's sillier somehow. It's more like physical comedy. But kissing someone, it feels invasive to have everybody watching me.

There is so much power in being able to look comfortable in a conference room, and I’m not sure dudes in suits are used to seeing women do that.

There's this belief with no merit that media with women at the center applies only to women, but media with men at the center applies to everyone.

[Hollywood] is obviously so fake, but then comedy is this little carve-out of sincerity. I love it. I get to be funny and do this.

I vape with my parents in my house. My parents don't really get high, which bums me out. But I vape with them around. It's just like a glass of wine. The family of the future is parents and kids who get high together. That is crazy to me, but it's so cool. I like the fact that my parents are fine with it, even if they won't do it with me.

That's when you know you know somebody. When you know every piece of clothing they have in their wardrobe. That's friendship.
