Patrice O’Neal’s 5 most popular quotes

  • I generally don’t like living in a world where being what a man is, is a horrible thing; and no matter what a woman is, is a wonderful thing.
  • What I’m trying to do is be righteous. And when I say “righteous,” I don’t mean God. You know? God- Righteous. I mean just when I wake up, I know I was honest to myself.
  • People have tried to corner the market on being offended, corner the market on language and corner the market on opinion. Should I lose my job ’cause I offended somebody? No, of course not. Your life should never be affected by public opinion.
  • I am that guy who will say things that people seem to think is a little edgy, a little racy.
  • Just making the crowd laugh is not really doing things for me anymore. That’s just knowing how to kill; I’ve learned how to kill – but also learned when a crowd’s laughter is meaningful.
