Kumail Nanjiani's Quotes
- I stay home. It's the best place to be alone. There is hardly any walk-through traffic.
- I love, love, love the street-cart food. Gyros are like a meat-flavored fruit roll-up. A meat roll-up.
- Stand-up is successful if they laugh. It's unsuccessful if they don't laugh.
- You can get stuck in the trap of reading your YouTube comments all the time. Sometimes I regret it. Not everyone is going to love you. And for some reason, stand-up has this thing where everyone thinks they can do it. So everyone thinks they're an expert.
- I never really got into game shows. The easiest one is 'Wheel Of Fortune' because you just have to know words, and for the most part everyone knows words.
