Jon Glaser Quotations

There's nothing wrong with fame, but to seek out the spotlight just to be on TV for the sake of being on TV, and to put your children on there, I think, is especially disgusting.

There's a big difference to me between the people who are famous and just accept the fact that it comes with the territory of what they do, and the people who actively seek it out, who intentionally put themselves in the position of being on camera and being famous.

If you want to be a crazy person, go for it. But don't impose it on your kids.

I always feel like I'm forgetting things.

It's always been about when I do theater, the audience is just a viewer, not taking part in what's onstage. Whereas if you're doing stand-up, it's inclusive.

If you're doing stand-up, there is no fourth wall; you're engaging an audience.

If you're a stand-up, you're more or less yourself.

I don't mind not having recognition. If it happens, fine, but it doesn't bother me that it's not there.

Ground the main character in stupidity. Hire a good cast and a good crew.

There were plenty of times some writers would make some kind of stupid joke to each other and then it was on TV that night or that week.

I suppose we all have a lil' inner or outer a-hole inside of us, just waiting for the right opportunity to rear their own beautiful buttholes.

I didn't necessarily set out to think of a show to make fun of reality shows.

For the most part, people don't know who I am.

For me, it feels like my ideas are more specific to random thoughts or single ideas I might have, as opposed to being influenced by a general perception of absurdity.

What one person might see as violent, someone else may see as beautiful. Maybe even art.

I'm sort of known in the comedy community as 'Smooth Sailing,' just 'cause everything always goes great. I've always had success at every turn.

Changing the world, one exclamation point at a time.
