Let's be honest, this is a consumer based economy in America. That's all we manufacture here is need and appetite. We are the world's mouth. They make things in other countries, and they're like, 'Send it to America; they'll eat it.' -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000005521

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000023786
When you commit your life to something and it doesn't work out, it is a tough place to be. Suicide can be the spiritual reprieve of a faithless person. I knew I could always just end it, and there was solace in that. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000040098
My cats, the ones that I have, were feral when I found them so the relationship that I have with them 10 years in is very mutual, earned, and evolved over time. It was never an easy thing. I like that they have a certain distance and have their own sense of selves. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000068444
I don't know if I am romanticizing, mythologizing, or being nostalgic. I assume all three. That seems to be how the brain breaks things down after a certain age. I -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000121790
I'm just looking for authentic engagement of some kind, and usually, after an hour or more, you get that. Some people talk at you.

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000144990
We live in an age where people are like, "I'd love to catch up. Maybe text me later? But don't call because I don't really listen to my messages. But if you text me ... " We've displaced interaction into sound bites and untethered phrases and sentences that come up on the phone as Twitter feed. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000149458

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000170062

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000216612

I believe in God ... just in case. It's like there's some list somewhere and you don't want to be on it. I don't want to say THERE'S NO GOD! and then die and say, Oh, Hi ... Is there some kind of community service I can do? -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000238363

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000273256
I just wanted to be a good comic and had no sense of show business, but at some point you want the opportunity to write a show about your life. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000277355
When you hear the things that people have gone through and realize you've gone through the same, it provides an amazing amount of relief. It gives us hope. And I think that's what we're supposed to get from each other. The -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000293996

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000311583
I didn't know that people compared Bill Hicks and I but certainly I'm flattered if they do. I knew Bill a bit. We had dinner a couple of times and played guitar together once. I really tried to keep my distance from him professionally. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000320393
People who have babies tell me I will know a love that is beyond anything I can imagine, and a joy that is indescribable. Love and joy? That sounds horrifying. I have no way of knowing whether I can handle either of those. I'm much better with need and fear. They are what ground me. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000365842
I don't really compartmentalize well. I'm in a state of anxiety and panic a lot, but it's for different reasons. It used to be because I had nothing going on, but I work very hard and there doesn't seem to be an end to it. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000383152

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000459434
It's not all about love. That's half of it ... The other half is about that moment you have with yourself when you're looking in the mirror, and you just go, 'Oh man. I'm going to compromise my dreams, get fat, sick, old and die someday. I kind of want to have someone around for that.' -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000482837

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000487574

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000489414

But then again, what do I know. I project. Then I judge. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000501990

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000504395

Surveillance induced morality: relics of cultural retardation. -- Marc Maron

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000530468

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000546690

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000561669

For 15 years of my life I smoked, I drank, I used to do drugs ... but during that time, I never once thought I was going to die. But the second I set foot on a stairmaster -the second- I am sure my heart is gonna explode and blood is gonna spray out of my nose. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000581052

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000715622
Once I learned how to talk, personally, by myself to any number of people, which means do radio without talking to anyone in particular on the air - I just found that my brain became very free to engage in a sort of stream-of-consciousness style of doing what I do. -- Marc Maron

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000729513
Some people don't even realize they're bitter. If you don't know whether you are or not, here's a quick quiz you can give yourself. If you ever wake up in the morning and the first thing you say is "Oh, fuck, not again," you might be a little bitter. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000749570

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000776277

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000796028

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000806533
The next evolutionary step is into the screen. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000808716
What comics sacrifice and what lives they live - I know that most of their lives, their adult lives, they're sitting around or walking around with notebooks, writing things down. Usually they're fairly sensitive. Usually they're very bright. And that makes them poets. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000818815
Jokes do finish themselves. I really do see them as ongoing conversations about personal themes that I ruminate on. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000829280

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000876732

Is it hard to make a living in show business? Yeah. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000876736

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000876739
Show business is one of the few businesses that the devil will actually agree to own just a portion of your soul because he knows if you have a performer's ego you were probably working for him all along. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000884846

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000890687

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000938654
I was with her for about six years before I asked her to marry me, which only means one thing: I shouldn't have done it! If you wait six years to get engaged, you are on the fence. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000965267

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 000980021

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001063795
What appealed to me was the intimacy of the medium, the fact that I was doing it from my home, and the fact that I wanted to talk. I was not there to plug things. I don't do a hell of a lot of research. I go on a sort of kindred-spirit bonding that preexists the interview, and just see what unfolds. -- Marc Maron

When I was a young kid I loved Don Rickles, Buddy Hackett and Jackie Vernon. -- Marc Maron

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001103826

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001110049
The way I figure it, if you can't tell I'm high by looking at me, I win. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001119976

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001138997

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001148887

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001177142
There is a weird truth to the idea that if you really don't care, things will generally go your way. If you're really invested and emotionally attached, things will get away from you or at least get chaotic and scary. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001202761
I think most other comics are like, "I'm going to do my fkin' act and that'll be that." With me, it's like, "What if I forget my jokes? What if I can't pull it together? This is going to be a fking disaster!" -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001213480

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001372779

Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001501958
I guess we can start at the end but it's really the middle. Let's just call it the really bad part. My second wife, Mishna, brought it to my attention that I had an anger problem. She didn't say it like that. What she said was, "I'm leaving." Then she took her vagina and left. -- Marc Maron
Marc Maron Quotes : pic 001506477
