Todd Barry Quotations

I did end up doing substitute teaching, but there's not a lot of teaching involved in that.

Only lately, like within the last few years, have I had people actually do an impression of me to me, which weirds me out to think of what they have picked up on, without ever realizing it myself

I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be when I started

I mean, I've always had scattered interests, but I never went on stage to get an agent or anything like that

I mean, I guess I started during the comedy boom, so it was literally like, on Sunday you could decide you wanted to be a comic, and on Monday, you could be on stage

You come there and hang out and have a drink before the show and eat, so it's not that brutal. It's only $6.

It's cool to go to a place that has posters up and it's one night only. It feels more special.

I'm particularly proud of my reluctance to share my dreams with anyone.

I haven't done a lot in London. I think comedy over there is how it was over here years ago. There's tons of it, and they're better paid.

I will not be misquoted!
