More from Bo Burnham
I have a pretty good math mind, so I can see patterns, but I don’t have a great ear. It’s like a tragedy – I can see so much more natural musical ability in so many other people.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham I’m happy with what I’m doing. I try not to focus on how I’ve changed. I just try to focus on what I’m doing now.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham People give me money and I don’t know why, my real collection plate is an empty cup held by a homeless guy.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham I do think that stand-up comedy in general heavily favors masculinity and so I like to act a little feminine onstage.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham I’m friends with a lot of comedians, but we don’t talk about material. Most comedians I know don’t watch a lot of other comedy.

Bo BurnhamBo Burnham If I had a dime for every time a homeless guy asked me for change, I’d still say no.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham I don’t want to try to recreate for no reason. Like, me in my bedroom, singing songs to a camera was a special thing that was at that time in my life. But I’m just not that kid. I like the format of it, but I want to be able to release things for free.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham The world doesn’t need any more hot chicks or tough guys or smooth talkers – the world needs more you. And don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham I just try to do things on stage that I think the audience would enjoy. And I try to draw on and add to acts that I’ve enjoyed watching.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham There’s a certain line between jokes and music and poetry that’s a bit blurred in my mind.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham The strange thing with Wikipedia is that the first article that ever gets written about you will define your Wikipedia page forever.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham Poverty. Racism. Isn’t it strange, only the homeless are begging for change?
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham I think the love-hate is fundamental. Everyone hates reality television, and everyone’s watching it. Everyone hates Facebook, and everyone is on it.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham I believe, firmly, that women are always right. Ah, I should actually rephrase that: I… don’t.
Bo BurnhamBo Burnham Because I see that as a crutch sometimes and I want to know that I can do something funny and worthwhile without that. And also make a show that my parents would like and that kids could watch with their parents.
