Jim Gaffigan Up Quotations

I don't know what's more exhausting about parenting: the getting up early, or acting like you know what you're doing.

I think growing up in Indiana prepares anyone for a life in comedy. I do feel like there is a certain kind of self-effacing cynicism among all Hoosiers.

"I got up early because I wanted to." - Nobody

I was the youngest of six kids, so yeah, feeding myself was important, but it's not like I was obsessed with food growing up.

I love stand-up comedians. I really do.

I grew up in Sheepshead Bay.

I liked the idea that my character was not gonna be the typical dumb guy that I play, typically. I also loved the fact that it was dealing with kind of adult-extended adolescence, which I think is always interesting -- a bunch of people that don't wanna grow up.

I didn't realize how much of a Hoosier or a Midwesterner I was until I moved to New York. It's weird -- growing up in Indiana, I wanted to get out, and now I completely romanticize Indiana. It just seems like there's a greater focus on family back there, which I suppose is something that kind of stayed with me.
