Quotes from Bo Burnham

I like to call everyone that I find slightly annoying a 'sociopath.'

I'm clearly doing what I want. I hope kids can see my act and feel like they can be slightly more comfortable in their own skin because I'm being so ridiculously comfortable in mine. I'm not that comfortable in my skin the moment I walk offstage. But I try to project that while I'm on it.

The Internet is so crazy, and you're exposed to so many things. In an hour, you can really jump around.

Meta-comedy is everywhere and always seems so cold and to me is really kinda snarky.

I've always liked TV shows that have slightly unlikable leads, where you root for them in spite of a lot of things. I know it's not common with shows with young people; they have to be so likable. But, I mean, teenagers just generally aren't very likable. I know I wasn't as a teenager.

I would say don't take advice from people like me who have gotten very lucky. We're very biased. You know, like Taylor Swift telling you to follow your dreams is like a lottery winner telling you, 'Liquidize your assets; buy Powerball tickets - it works!'

I just have a problem with youth culture.

I've always liked the format of YouTube, sharing things for free, which is a nice exchange between people.

The strange thing was, when I was starting on YouTube, even the paradigm of YouTube and Internet sensation - or whatever - that didn't really exist. So I didn't even know that that was a thing.

I'm grateful for every stupid mistake and dumb joke I tried to make.

The strength of comedy is I don't have to answer to anybody but sometimes you want to learn from other people and see your ideas strengthen by other people.

I always think of myself as a comedy feeder type person, and that feeder lets themselves get out of your comfort zone as opposed to straight stand up; that feels like honing one skill, like honing one point of view.

I love Tim Minchin, Bill Bailey, and Hans Teeuwen, and I'm trying to synthesise elements of theatre into my show a little bit more.

The average person has one Fallopian tube.

Basically, I don't like to tweet stuff about my life. I only like to tweet jokes.

I really don't like to tweet or Instagram anything about the people in my life just because I feel like I signed up for this, and I don't even know what this is yet. I do know that it could go anywhere, and I really don't want to sign other people in my life up for it without their permission or consent.

Comedy should be a source of positivity. I don't want to bully people, and I don't want people to come to my show to feel terrible about something. So I'm actually very open to having a conversation about what I should or shouldn't say.

I don't really care about capitalizing on momentum.

I don't want to monitor my audience too closely, as that can really drive you crazy.

I definitely like making music in the studio, but I never had it out to make a CD specifically.

I have no real want or need to be a movie star.

Even in movies like 'Superbad,' they're all lovable kids.

I always wanted to be a comedian but never thought I'd be a musical comedian.

I fully embrace myself as a hypocrite.
