One thing about writing ‘The Sarah Silverman Program’ was the concern that I don’t give myself the best story, you know what I mean? – Brian Posehn
I just felt like I’d rather listen to even the worst metal song more than most current pop music. – Brian Posehn
I wanted to be a vet before I got into comedy, but then once I found out how much gore goes into that job, I wanted nothing to do with it. – Brian Posehn
I feel very lucky that I’ve been able to carve out any niche at all in this business. It’s so hard to get into. – Brian Posehn
I used to own a stuffed piranha, but I haven’t seen it in years. I don’t even know what happened to it. Maybe my wife didn’t want it to make the move from the last house to this one. – Brian Posehn
What I think makes people nerds is just being obsessive. I think that’s what nerdiness really is – its people who don’t just passively like something, they get passionate about whatever they like. – Brian Posehn
I don’t know if I was a poseur – I really did love metal, always – but I gave a lot of other things a chance. I wanted to meet, um, girls, so I would check out ‘Depeche Mode.’ – Brian Posehn
I really hate Nicki Minaj, but I don’t know why I hate her. I just hate her face, you know? So I went and just looked at some Nicki Minaj videos so I would have a leg to stand on if I ever met someone who liked her. – Brian Posehn
I didn’t want to write sketch comedy after ‘Mr. Show.’ I felt like, after ‘Mr. Show’, why would you want to go work at any of the other places that existed then? – Brian Posehn
I’ve always been really good at staying busy. Even while I’m working, I’m looking at what the next thing is. – Brian Posehn
There’s a roller derby girl that goes by that name, ‘Nerd Rage,’ and she named herself after my album. – Brian Posehn
A lot of the traditional sitcom stuff I did – I think I could have gone that route when I was younger as a staff writer, and I just didn’t want to. – Brian Posehn
I love to visit the comic shops, and I don’t want to call myself a ‘foodie,’ because that word is just stupid, but I love diner food, and I’m a hardcore fan of ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.’ – Brian Posehn
I’m very excited that my yelling will be featured on the next Evile disc; they’re one of my favorite new-ish bands and, in my not-so-humble opinion, the British saviors of thrash metal. – Brian Posehn
I’ve played D&D for years. I’m a comic book guy. Comic-Con in San Diego is nerd Christmas for me. – Brian Posehn
I’m doing a pilot for Comedy Central with the band Steel Panther. They’re faux heavy metal. They started as kind of a tribute band out here, or a cover band, and they’re funny guys, and they just sort of morphed into their own thing. – Brian Posehn
I wasn’t even aware that there are different styles of taxidermy, traditional and rogue. I wound up really liking the rogue stuff the most, just because it is more artistic and people can go anywhere with it. That stuff I really liked. Honestly, I would have liked to buy some of those pieces. – Brian Posehn
I try to hit all the places Guy Fieri visits in every city I go to. It’s, like, something a 60-year-old would do. – Brian Posehn
I got into Kiss before I got into anybody. The first thing I heard was ‘Detroit Rock City.’ I heard it in the school library, where I lived. – Brian Posehn
Nerd rage to me is kind of just empty rage. I mean, ultimately, you’re not going to do it; you’re not going to fight somebody, you know. – Brian Posehn
