It takes me so long to get tired of a man. It’s women that are the problem. Don’t get me wrong. I think men have their problems just as much as women. Garry Shandling Read Quote
I have this very abstract idea in my head. I wouldn’t even want to call it stand-up, because stand-up conjures in one’s mind a comedian with a microphone standing onstage under a spotlight telling jokes to an audience. The direction I’m going in is eventually, you won’t know if it’s a joke or not. Garry Shandling Read Quote
I’m proud of Larry Sanders and proud of every single person who went on that journey. It’s a very special show to me, and I’ve learned a lot of lessons from it. I need to find something where I can learn some more lessons, and then I’ll do that project. Garry Shandling Read Quote
I don’t think I’m severely politically active. I care deeply, and I have my strong personal beliefs. I think America is dancing on thin ice. But I think it’s bigger even than a political issue. I wonder about the evolution of the human race and spirit and what our goals and reasons for living are. Garry Shandling Read Quote
I watch the news, which is its own reality show. I love ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’ I love it because it’s funny and because I realize that I’m happier than Larry David. Garry Shandling Read Quote
Some people think the world will end in 2012. I think we’ve got until 2014. I’m an optimist. Garry Shandling Read Quote
To be thrown onto the stand-up stage is an experience that you cannot fathom until you’re actually there, because there’s no place to go, and everyone is looking at you and you can’t even see them because of the lights. And yet you have to manage to start talking and be funny on top of it. Garry Shandling Read Quote
My second or third year in the engineering department, I got very frustrated, and I sat down with myself and had a soul-searching conversation with myself and said, ‘What I’d really like to do is see if I can write comedy.’ … I moved to L.A. stone cold. Didn’t know anybody; didn’t know how to go about it. Really started from scratch. Garry Shandling Read Quote
I had no idea who I was when I started. I was frightened to death and had no natural performing skills. Garry Shandling Read Quote
