The great thing about comedy is that the longer you’ve been alive, the more you have to talk about and the better you get. I’ve got some miles and some road savviness that some other guys don’t have. Greg Behrendt Read Quote
I’ve learned that anything in life worth having comes from patience and hard work. Greg Behrendt Read Quote
I don’t know if you know you’re funny, but you enjoy being funny. I know I’m funny because people tell me I am, but when I watch myself, it doesn’t make me laugh. Does that make sense? Because I know the jokes, and to me, I feel like I’m pulling the wool over people’s eyes. And there are probably people who do not enjoy what I do. Greg Behrendt Read Quote
The one cool thing with getting older is that you can actively choose to just be an eccentric. Greg Behrendt Read Quote
Part of being a comedian is that it’s your job to look at life and regurgitate it in a funny way, to point out its absurdities. Greg Behrendt Read Quote
I’ve never tried to pass myself off as anything more than a comedian who wrote a dating book. Greg Behrendt Read Quote
I went to stand-up when my rock n’ roll dreams weren’t coming true. I knew it wasn’t going to happen when I was in a New Wave band in 1992 – at the height of grunge.

I think probably – I think, you know, when you’re first dating somebody, if they’re just not that physical with you, if they don’t want to make concrete plans with you, you know, if they’re sort of ambiguous about where everything is going, I think that’s a pretty good sign that they’re not into you.

Social media is a really cool way to tell your story to people who are interested in hearing it. It’s not getting put through the filter of a television executive who’s decided you’re too old to justify the expenditure. Greg Behrendt Read Quote
I do think that you can dress yourself out of a problem. The way that a haircut and a new pair of pants can make you feel is better than any therapist, because when you look in the mirror, you see a different person – you are a different person. It’s superficial change that can lead to real change. Greg Behrendt Read Quote
