Being a stand-up comic, this isn’t a stepping-stone for me; it’s what I do, and this is what I’m always going to do. And even if I do a TV show, the only reasons to do a TV show is to get more people to know me to come out to my stand-up shows. Bill Burr Read Quote
To me, ‘rant’ was ranting and raving. So to me, it’s heightened. emotional flipping out, frothing at the mouth. Where I grew up, that was a rant. I don’t consider what I’m doing ranting. Bill Burr Read Quote
The word ‘ranting’ is kind of overused now. Literally, if you just talk about a subject for 30 seconds or more, even if you never raised your voice, if I just talk about it, it’s called a rant. Bill Burr Read Quote
I don’t think that hard about why people come out to my shows or trying to influence them or anything. I’m just happy that they show up. Bill Burr Read Quote

I think some people really change when they become a dad. Like, I’ve changed in different ways. I – but, like, my comedy hasn’t changed. And I’ve also seen people do that where you become this – you become a dad, and then all of a sudden, you’re trying to be a role model. Bill Burr Read Quote
That’s kind of my job in the writer’s room. I’m always the guy going, like, ‘People wouldn’t say that there. They wouldn’t say that.’ Like, I hate when I watch sitcoms and something crazy happens, and people just kind of go, ‘Huh?’ and then they just go on. Bill Burr Read Quote
You know, it wasn’t even that I’m a funny guy, I just loved stand-up comedy and I wanted to do it. It was one of the few things in my life that I knew I was going to be able to do, and I also felt as though I’d be able to do it the way I wanted to do it. Bill Burr Read Quote
