Here, we’ve compiled a list of the best Billy Gardell Quotes. Let’s look at these pieces of wisdom. We definitely have something to learn from them!
1
‘Mike & Molly’ exists in a world where we don’t just say a snarky line, make a crazy face, and walk out of the room. There’s actually some tender moments here, too.
2
As a comic, I’ve heard gunshots while I’m trying to get to sleep. I’ve performed where people wanted to do you harm after the show because of something you said.
3
Yeah, I’ve done Jim Breuer’s radio show a couple times, and I heard from Larry the Cable Guy when I got ‘Mike & Molly,’ wishing me congratulations. I’m always the last one to the party, man. But that’s okay. I got there.
4
I have been a big guy all my life, I am not going to lose a bunch of weight, because then you’re like that weird fat person that got skinny but still has a big head. I don’t want to do that. So I’m just trying.
5
I mean, yeah, I want to lose some weight! I’m doing the best I can.
6
The quickest way to defuse fear or insecurity or anger is usually humor. I think comics figure that out quickly, and, once you figure it out, you think, ‘Hey, if I can do this and get paid, that would be kind of cool.’
7
You start realizing that maybe you’re the one night a month that people have out, and they don’t need to hear your political views or how dark you can get. They just want to laugh for an hour and go home. Once I wrapped my head around that, my act evolved accordingly.
8
I always like to find those little mom-and-pop sandwich places, or diners. Those are my favorite kind of places.
9
I’m from Minnesota! I used to work Knuckleheads at the Mall of America as a stand-up. I spent New Year’s there once. I’m not trying to namedrop.
10
I’ve been trying to watch my weight a bit, but when I come to Las Vegas, all bets are off. I get enough healthy food in L.A. where the food is the size of a quarter and costs $40 – when I’m in Vegas, I want a steak!
11
Whenever I realize I’m being a goofball, I write it down. When I release the joke onstage, I love watching the effect it has on the audience. No one wants to see someone talk who takes themselves too seriously.
12
I like those older theaters – the acoustics are perfect, I mean, you just have that feel of there’s been a thousand shows in there and now you get to be one.
