I have an erratic drummer for anybody who's just listening to this, he can keep time, but just in spurts.

I always wanted to do a movie...

I always wanted to do a movie, because I love the movies. They give you a chance to have an intimacy with your audience that is different from stand up. With movies, you can bring the audience in with a close up, and emote in a different way.

Tatyana Basova

I always try to just be hones...

I always try to just be honest ... As opposed to artifice or manipulation.

Tatyana Basova

I do come across people who d...

I do come across people who don't like me, don't like my comedy, don't think it's funny, it's too cutesy, or whatever they hate. And it's like, "Okay. That's your opinion. Somebody liked it, so that's good." Hopefully it balances out.

Tatyana Basova

To look like you are a real s...

To look like you are a real sports fan, when there is a game on TV just yell, Oh, come on! every now and then at the TV.

Tatyana Basova

I equals all of the ifs added...

I equals all of the ifs added up over time. The ifs, those are the possibilities; that's infinite for all of us. Every day there are just millions of them. Time, that's finite for each of us; there is no question there. Maybe if you divide choices by the amount of time you have, the real I can emerge, depending upon those choices.

Tatyana Basova

I am sometimes referred to as...

I am sometimes referred to as Excuse Me in an annoyed tone of voice, because apparently I am in the way. I am so sorry. I am supposed to be some sort of mind reader, I guess. I am moving out of the way now as slowly as I possibly can. I am doing this and there's nothing you can do about it.

Tatyana Basova

Whenever I throw caution to the wind I make sure I'm facing the right way so that it doesn't blow back and hit me in my face.

Tatyana Basova

If you want to feel less sexy...

If you want to feel less sexy put scotch tape on your nipples.

Tatyana Basova

I think it would be worse to ...

I think it would be worse to get mauled by a dancing bear than just a regular bear because you can't totally blame the dancing bear.

Tatyana Basova

When I was younger, I'd get very empirical with myself. "I have a hypothesis about myself. I'll put myself in a situation, see what happens, then I'll draw a conclusion based on the empirical evidence. Hypothesis: I can play basketball." So I'd try. "Conclusion: I cannot play basketball."

I love Steven Wright. ...

I love Steven Wright.

Tatyana Basova

Surprise parties are strange ...

Surprise parties are strange 'cause people jump up and they yell the word, 'surprise' at the party. I came home and you emerged from my furniture. You don't have to tell me how to feel. I don't need a hint.

Tatyana Basova

I like digital cameras, because they enable you to reminisce immediately.

Tatyana Basova

The reason you often get in comedy is because you're not getting laid.

Tatyana Basova

If I make my window ten days ...

If I make my window ten days for stand-up, the conclusion is that I failed and that I'm not good at stand-up. If I make it ten years - if I just wait - the conclusion might be something totally different. I think it's so cool to do things in which you discover the malleability of your own mind.

Tic Tacs are the maracas of breath mints.

There's an old Russian saying...

There's an old Russian saying that goes some way or another. I don't know it. I don't speak Russian. But sometimes I think about it and wonder if it's relevant to what I'm going through at the time. Probably not. I mean what do Russian know about hunger, anyway?

Tatyana Basova

I feel so fortunate to be one of the lucky ones who is so grateful and appreciative to know such great synonyms for thankful.

Tatyana Basova

I just listen to so much music that I like the role music can play in scoring something. I'm not doing song parodies or funny songs, I'm just adding some music to my words. So it's limited and specific, but as a performer I find it pretty enjoyable.
