I don’t care if people get angry about that, believing the rubbish that vaccinations cause trouble or make the child worse or something. That’s not what I believe. I think it’s important for me to say. Jim Jefferies Read Quote
I don’t think comedy really does change people’s minds; I think you can only get someone who is almost ready to change their mind. You can’t change someone from one direction straight into the other, but if you get someone who is considering your view, and you make a good point, there’s power in that. Jim Jefferies Read Quote
I don’t think you’re ever going to be truly successful if everyone likes you. Jim Jefferies Read Quote
I probably get a bit more backlash in Australia than I do in America, to be honest. I was never invited to the Melbourne Comedy Festival because I was too gross, things like that. Which never happened in any other country. Jim Jefferies Read Quote
I’m somewhat of a socialist in the sense that I believe in housing for the homeless and medical care for all. So, for me, the American dream has been having a TV show, and being successful and having a nice house and having everything. Jim Jefferies Read Quote
Nixon started auditing late-night show hosts because they were making jokes about him. Then, every single one of their staff got tax audits. Jim Jefferies Read Quote
I had a head injury when I was living in England; I was in the hospital for three days, and they didn’t even ask for my name. I spent three days in there. And then, when I was done, I just got up and left. I wasn’t a British citizen; I was there on a work permit. Jim Jefferies Read Quote
I don’t think that I am a Lefty in the sense that I grew up in countries that have a universal health-care system, but I also think that I’m a little Right in other directions. I also think that – in regards to the whole health-care thing – that yeah, they should repeal and replace Obamacare with universal health care. Jim Jefferies Read Quote
I can go into New York and sell out a theatre, but I didn’t have to fight my way to get there: I was already a made man from television. I sold out a theatre in London without any TV exposure, just word of mouth and being a good comic, and that was a much bigger sense of accomplishment than just being a guy from telly.
