The most interesting people in life are not the ones who fit in, the most interesting people in life, the people who change the world, are the different people. Don’t be afraid of being different, embrace being different because one day you are going to want to surround yourself with the most exciting people in the world; the different people. And that’s why I’m here to say to you from my heart, it gets better
"You can no longer complain that the reason you can’t get stuff out there is because no one will give you a chance. You can give yourself a chance. You can be Bo Burnham sitting in his bedroom putting clips on YouTube and suddenly be one of the biggest comedy stars in the world, because the technology has caught up with the ideas." — Wil Anderson on the internet’s impact on comedians
"What I’m saying Charlie, is that nothing would change for me. It’s just that, you know, the only thing that would change for me is that no one would mock me when I cried in The Notebook— my friends would support me. They would be there for me emotionally and they would applaud what’s going on with me. They would enjoy the fact that I have three cats. My life would be perfect." — Wil Anderson on how his life would change if he suddenly was transformed into a woman, TOFOP #65: The Over-Explaining Cyrano
"It was like the other day, someone actually, literally messaged me on Twitter to say, “hey I watched your dvd on bittorrent, and it was fuckin’ hilarious”, and in my head I’m like, you know what, I understand that the internet is out there and people are stealing stuff […] But you know what? Don’t message me and tell me. Like, I know it’s vaguely happening in the world, but I don’t need to hear about how good a time you had when you stole from me. Because that’s essentially what you said is, “hey, I took $25 out of your pocket, and I had the fuckin’ best time with that $25, you would not believe it! You know you have $25 less now, and I’ve had $25 worth of fun? I just wanted to tell you all about that” No, fuck you. Don’t tell me." — Wil Anderson on people torrenting his standup
