More from Bill Burr
I enjoy collaborating with other people.
Bill BurrBill Burr London was like that too. It was that time of year when all the rich kids with the oil money have their cars shipped over.
Bill BurrBill Burr My favorite kind of humor is basically, if it was happening to you, it wouldn’t be funny, but to observe it, it’s hilarious.
Bill BurrBill Burr If you get a chance to go outside of the country, you start examining where you’re from and some of the thought processes.
Bill BurrBill Burr If you try to deliver a funny line in a funny way, it comes out as wacky and you ruin the scene.
Bill BurrBill Burr I consider Ric Flair to be one of the great comedic minds. But I never got to see him growing up because that was back when they still had territories.
Bill BurrBill Burr The greatest comebacks ever – watching [Donald Trump] get the nomination for the Republican Party is the most astounding thing I’ve ever seen.
Bill BurrBill Burr You’ll be laying there fantasizing about sleeping on a futon. There’s no risk when you go after a dream. There’s a tremendous amount to risk to playing it safe.
Bill BurrBill Burr It’s just if one person says anything it becomes click bait and then they start talking about the comedy climate which is hilarious, so no.
Bill BurrBill Burr Realize that sleeping on a futon when you’re 30 is not the worst thing. You know what’s worse, sleeping in a king bed next to a wife you’re not really in love with but for some reason you married, and you got a couple kids, and you got a job you hate.
Bill BurrBill Burr Working on the Dave Chappelle show was amazing.
Bill BurrBill Burr I was a feature one time and they gave me host money. When I called to complain the guy goes “no you didn’t feature, you co-hosted”. He literally invented a term so he didn’t have to pay me. And obviously that check bounced!
Bill BurrBill Burr I’m an idiot, basically. I don’t think that I’m a dumb guy, but I also realise that I have access to about 0.1 percent of the information that I need to have a truly informed opinion about half the stuff I talk about.
Bill BurrBill Burr Think about the amount of crap the US has done! Between slavery and the genocide of the Native Americans – if any of that had been filmed like [Adolf] Hitler, we’d never live it down.
Bill BurrBill Burr There is a very difficult period in a comedian’s career – it’s that window of time where you’re good enough to draw tickets but nobody knows you yet.
Bill BurrBill Burr I can tell you why I like different countries. Ireland – some of the funniest heckles I’ve ever gotten. And the last time I did England I did Bristol, Manchester, and then London. The whole country is just amazing to drive through.
