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.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
A lot of my fans are really young and seem slightly unsure and nervous about things. Hopefully for young people watching my show, it comes away that I'm pretty weird up there.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I'd much rather wait till my material is up to par, in my opinion, than rush it just so I can stay in the limelight a little longer.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
Since I got an audience before I even had a comic voice, my material that really wasn't worthy of an audience somehow got it, slightly unfairly.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I just look at Miley Cyrus, and I'm like, 'Great, you've doubled your audience. But you've also doubled the number of people that hate you, and doesn't that hurt?' It takes a crazy person not to be affected by that.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
A few people know me, and the few people that do know me only know me because they dig my stuff.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
With 'Words, Words, Words,' that show was me experimenting with something, and then there was a clear direction for me.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I didn't want to bash young people. I don't want to bash a kid for dreaming or wanting something or being slightly ambitious - that's not the problem. The actual problem is with the culture surrounding him.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
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.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I enjoy stand up so much because I take time off, and then I'll be excited to go back to it.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
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.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
Basically, I don't like to tweet stuff about my life. I only like to tweet jokes.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
You can give poor people this royal wedding to watch and make them feel good about themselves, or you can give them something useful like, I don't know... a toaster.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
There's tons of dudes - like David O'Doherty, Tim Key, and Alex Horne - I made a lot of friends with people who are really incredible comics.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I became good friends with Jack Whitehall. I think he's great, such a great dude, and really funny.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
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!'
Quote by -Bo Burnham
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.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I'm not as incredibly prolific as Louis C. K., and I'm definitely not doing a completely brand-new hour probably by the beginning of the tour.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
The thing is, I always thought I could do stand-up, and so I just stayed focused on the belief that I could succeed.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
If I had posted my first video a week later, I don't know if it would have spread like it did. That's why, with everything I do, I try to enjoy the making of it instead of worrying about the release and reception.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
'what.' is bombastic introspection. It's large, colourful, and loud but hopefully intimate at the same time.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I've come across people referring to themselves as 'Vine famous.' Some of them started out by putting up Vines just for fun, then all of a sudden they get a bunch of fans, and a week later their Vines are totally different. They become obsessed with how their videos will be perceived.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I write about what I know: teenage dating, overly charged sexuality, all the things that make you uncomfortable.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I grew up listening to Steve Martin and Robin Williams, so I didn't ever intend to be a musical comedian. I sort of stumbled into it.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I like to joke about being gay because it's something teenagers would never joke about.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
All my fans saw me as some little kid who can't even afford new jeans in his room, so they'll support me. That'll work until I become a success.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I'll stop when I think I'm not doing good stuff. I'll never exploit something just because people like it.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
There's only one rule in stand-up, which is that you have to be funny. Yet 99 per cent of comics look and talk exactly the same.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
I know I'm probably digging for fresh fruit in the garbage, and as much as anyone, my attitude is, if stuff's sincere, it's gooey and boring and uninteresting. But it's no way to live.
Quote by -Bo Burnham
It feels like we're always juggling many pieces of information at once or trying out many personas at once. It makes life slightly nonlinear.
