Reggie Watts Quotes 1250217

Reggie Watts Quotes 1366886

Reggie Watts Quotes 2131753

People ask, like, 'How are you going to incorporate what you do onstage into everything else?' I'm not too worried about that.

And I've always been able to do that. — Reggie Watts

Reggie Watts Quotes 1528741

I guess, in a way, I grew up mixed race: half white, half black. That question's always been on my mind: 'What are you? Are you this or that? Are you a white dude or are you a black dude?' In a strange way, music and comedy is kind of the same thing. I'm both. They're just different modes of expression. — Reggie Watts

Reggie Watts Quotes 677151

When in doubt, zoom out. — Reggie Watts

Reggie Watts Quotes 614891

Now with the allocation and the understanding of the lack of understanding, we enter into a new era of science in which we feel nothing more than so much so as to say that those within themselves, comporary or non-comporary, will figuratively figure into the folding of our non-understanding and our partial understanding to the networks of which we all draw our source and conclusions from. — Reggie Watts

Reggie Watts Quotes 641158

I compare a lot of life to looking at a map through a straw. The less ability you have to see life in a humorous way, the smaller the straw is that you're looking at the map of life.

For most of my life I've liked to pretend I live in a starship. Punching in fake codes to get into doorways that obviously are not secure. I love that idea of living on a spaceship.

Reggie Watts Quotes 902800

Reggie Watts Quotes 903225

Reggie Watts Quotes 934347
