The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Louis C.K.

  • I just always loved comedy and I really wanted to be good at it. And it was heartbreaking, ’cause I started and I wasn’t good at it. I was only 17-years-old, so I had a lot to learn about life in general. But I just kept on trying. I was young enough and stupid enough and I had no other choice. I had nothing else I was good at.
  • I do have very deep, fond memories of my family in Mexico City, but I also remember feeling funny for not speaking English – I was basically an immigrant. But I picked up the language fast and soon I knew that I wanted to be a writer.
  • Dating is horrible, it’s awful. I don’t get it. It’s like you’re standing there: ‘Hi. Do you want to have sex and later wish you hadn’t?’ It’s horrible. And it’s awkward at 42 because I don’t have the body or the drive. I just sit in the car and hope somebody gets in.
  • I don’t like waking up. I feel like staying in bed usually, but I can’t because I’ve got two kids standing next to my bed, just eager to live another day.
  • After you do standup for for, like, five years, you’re kind of screwed because you have no other skills. You can’t get other jobs. It’s like being in prison: you’re not suitable for any other career.
  • I’m close to my audience. I think I have more tools in my box than other guys who might try it. Also, I know how to do this stuff. I know how to write and shoot and edit. I’m technically adept and that helped with the website. You need a big skill set.
  • I’ve had, what, two years? Probably five good years. Before that I had twenty years of uncertainty and suffering and ego destruction and poverty. All those things. That’ll always outweigh the good times.
  • No one on the planet Earth has what I have right now. No one ever has. And I don’t know that I ever will again.
  • I don’t necessarily agree with you, but I appreciate it very much.
  • To me, comedies are usually the least funny movies. Movies that are actually a comedy are usually not all that funny. To me Goodfellas (1990) and Raging Bull (1980) are two of the funniest movies I ever saw.

Louis C.K. (born Louis Székely on September 12, 1967) is an American stand-up comedian, writer, and actor known for his sharp, often controversial humor.

He began his career in the late 1980s, performing in New York City clubs and writing for several TV shows, including The Chris Rock Show. His raw, self-deprecating comedic style gained him widespread attention, leading to his groundbreaking TV series Louie (2010–2015), which he wrote, directed, and starred in. The show blended comedy and drama, receiving critical acclaim and several awards.

C.K. also became a pioneer in self-distributing his comedy specials online. However, his career faced a major setback in 2017 after admitting to allegations of sexual misconduct, which led to a temporary hiatus.

He later returned to stand-up and released new material, including the 2020 special Sincerely, Louis C.K., signaling his attempt at a comeback in the comedy world.
