Nathan Fielder quotes:

I'm very bad at ending sentences. A lot times I just want to say, 'That's the end of my sentence. I have nothing more to say.'

I loved theatre and did magic, too, but I was never the best at it - there was never a teacher saying, 'You're great, you have to make this your career!' I was good at science and math. I figured I'd go into science and become a dentist.

The type of thing that one person would get mad at, another person would laugh at, is a good kind of zone to be in.

I just don't have this magnetic personality that everyone is drawn to. I don't make friends easily... I'm just not one of those people.

I have a business background. I have always wanted to open my own business.

In my personal life, I will do whatever it takes to make a situation comfortable if I sense - if I'm talking to someone [and] I sense there's a silence, I'll try to fill that gap. It makes me very anxious when things get uncomfortable.

If I find something funny and make an older woman laugh, I love that for some reason.

Social interactions have always been a bit of a difficult thing for me. I think I have a natural tendency to make people not 100 percent super comfortable.

I seem to get into situations that make people laugh, but I don't consider myself that funny of a person. I'm not witty. I'm kind of slow in conversations. I'm not that articulate with jokes. The first time I made stuff and screened it for an audience, I was surprised what people were laughing at.

A lot of the time, people think I'm really dumb or really uncomfortable talking to them, which is kind of a real thing.

If Edison was worried about his candle customers, he would have never invented the light bulb.

Some of the funniest things are just situations in life that are funny. The way people interact. People describing their first kiss with someone, to me, is really funny. When someone goes into detail about each moment of that, I really find that enjoyable to listen to.

I used to trade stocks online, and I kind of felt gross, like, all I'm doing is making money off other people's creativity, and I'm not creating anything myself.

In life, a lot of great ideas sound insane or absurd at first.

I don't like getting people upset, so that's not my goal. But I like putting people in situations where how they respond says a lot about them.

Everyone's default state is this pleasantry state. My goal in the show is to undercut that as quickly as possible. If you really do let it sit, it's sometimes amazing what comes out of people.

I agree that someone falling down is really funny, and I can go on YouTube and watch people falling. It makes me laugh.
