Demetri Martin quotes about
im-sorry squirrels car
People and squirrels are very different. Most people will not argue that. But I find that there is one situation in which they're very similar. And that is: when I am driving towards them in my car. Then they're kind of hard to tell apart - especially if the human is kind of hairy.
funny humor car
My friend named his car. And I don't want to be judgemental, but... what a dork.
thinking orange carrots
I think they named the orange before the carrot.
car drivers ten
You are ten times more likely to get hit by a car when the driver is aiming for you.
thinking tough-times care
I care about politics, but I have a tough time making comedy out of it. I was so happy to have a chance to be on The Daily Show, and I think Jon Stewart's so funny... but mostly in my own comedy, I care about less relevant things.
car buying advertising
When I'm buying car insurance I ask myself, 'Which company has the most annoying and relentless commercials?'
car way alarms
A car alarm is a way for a car to tell everyone that its owner is an asshole.
self years ive-learned
What I've learned about my self over the years is that I'm pretty restless. If I multitask it's probably because I have difficulty just focusing on one thing.
thinking ideas should
I like shorter jokes. I like fewer words. I think the more ideas there are the, the fewer words there should be.
hipster gay focus
I'm very hip-oriented. I focus on hips in my comedy - probably more than any other hipster comic who is out there hipping today. My hips, other hips. I work with my hips a great deal. That is what I do. But not in a gay way.
mistake journey thinking
I don't know if I'll ever be a master at anything, but I think that's a mistake for me personally. I don't know how much it's about the journey, but it's more about the process.
long negativity growth
For me, possibility, progress, growth, those things are very.. they feel very good. It doesn't usually come with negativity. I don't really mind sucking at something as long as I'm getting a little bit better at it along the way.
creativity way different
My family was fine, it's just a different way of going about life. Creativity was not something that was isolated and identified and valued.
firsts my-favorite first-time
Usually my favorite joke is whichever joke I most recently came up with that surprised me the first time I thought of it.
