I'm much more interested in making people laugh than getting applause breaks.

I think it's important to control your opportunities, because in the entertainment world, it's not up to you. I'm not sitting here under this naГЇve belief that someone in Hollywood is going, 'Gaffigan! What kind of a show can I build around him?' So you have to find things that can showcase your point of view.

There's a certain balance between finding an opportunity to do what you really enjoy and getting caught up in the flattery of people wanting you to do things.

A lot of people are like, 'Yo...

A lot of people are like, 'You're doing commercials?' And I honestly feel like those Sierra Mist commercials are better than a lot of sitcoms I get offered. It's hard work, and I'm paid a lot of money, and I do it because I love the soda.

It's so obvious The Weather Channel is pro hurricane. Fair and balanced my ass.

I should clarify that anyone that goes onstage and makes strangers laugh is insane. So I am insane.

I'm definitely hesitant wearing shorts during the summer. Like for a pale person, you know, summer - everyone in the world is so excited for summer, but pale people, we're just like, oh no.

We're never satisfied when it comes to food. 'You know what'd be good on this burger? A ham sandwich. Instead of a bun, let's use two donuts. That way we can have it for breakfast. Look out McGriddle. Here comes the donut-ham-hamburger!'

In stand up, you get an awareness of how you come across, but in acting there is almost a hyper-awareness on how you might be physically perceived.

I believe that comedians do what they do, and then they get credit or criticism for doing it. There's nothing planned about this.

I'm a guy who comes from a sma...

I'm a guy who comes from a small town in the Midwest. It's not in my nature to say the most explicit things in public.

Jim Gaffigan 337 quotes

I didn't choose to be the guy ...

I didn't choose to be the guy who talks about the mundane - it's just who I am and it's what kind of works for me.

Jim Gaffigan 337 quotes

I wish, in some ways, I was the type of comedian who could do something blistering and topical, but I'm the guy who gets stuck in the revolving door and thinks I should write about that.

Jim Gaffigan 337 quotes

Whatever a writer gets paid fo...

Whatever a writer gets paid for his book, it's never enough. I think that's true. It's hard work. But in the end, you wrote a book. It's something real and tangible that sits on a shelf forever.

I don't have any delusions. I'...

I don't have any delusions. I'm not a novelist - I'm a comedian who writes. I love doing the stand-up and the touring and the albums and all that, but it's pretty amazing to go into a library and see your book there.

I'm kind of like a guy who's missing a little bit of the guy gene. Like, I love steak, but the notion of golfing is the last thing I would want to do. I love women, but I'm also a mama's boy, and some of my best friends are women. So I'm kinda half guy's guy.

I like bowling. It's just one of those things where I can do so many jokes about it because I do know bowling. Somebody once said, 'The whitest things in the world are Jim Gaffigan and bowling.'

Television's very much a writer's medium, as it probably should be, but if you're not the writer, then as the performer, you defer to that. It's just kind of how it's constructed. Is there some leeway? Yeah. But I also don't want to come across as a jerk.

Jim Gaffigan 337 quotes

For a comedian to kind of catc...

For a comedian to kind of catch onto something right as something's catching on in our culture, a lot of it is luck, and you hope the joke is funny.

Jim Gaffigan 337 quotes

I kind of consider myself... I mean, I try to have my comedy be accessible, and if people are paying $30 to see me in a theater and they want to have their picture taken with me, it's not the end of the world. It's one of those things, where I'm not the only comic who does it. A lot of comics do it. If I'm doing a 4,000-seat venue, it might be a little bit of a different task, but it's all good.
