I wish i could sit back and say, 'oh, i'm gonna wait for a merchant-ivory film to come my way. or ivory-merchant. whatever it's called. but you just take what's given and then, hopefully, down the road you can be more choosy and only do, say, wayans brothers movies. that's my goal: to be more merchant-ivory-wayans.

Brother Ivory Goal

More From Zach Galifianakis

Before i made it big i worked as a dishwasher, washing dishes in this place called dishwasher house where people could just come in and do whatever they wanted to the dishes and we had to clean them with our hands till they bled. a lot of struggling actors worked there-downey jr., joaquin phoenix, damon wayans, marlon wayans, keenen ivory wayans-and we actually all kind of wish we still did.

I feel like, when we're kids, you're sold into this fairy tale of what love is. that prince charming's gonna come along and save you and you're gonna live happily ever after. they're gonna rescue me from the bronx, and we're gonna go off and live in a castle somewhere and it's gonna be awesome. he's gonna love me forever, and i'm gonna love him forever, and it's gonna be real easy. and it's so different than that.

The left are gonna calling you names. you're gonna be racist, gonna be a pig, gonna be sexist, you're gonna hate women, you're gonna hate blacks, you're gonna be anti-transgender, whatever. they'll come at you in all directions to force you into acquiescence.

My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

Kids don't say, "wait." they say, "wait up, hey wait up!" because when you're little, your life is up. the future is up. everything you want is up. "hold up. shut up! mum, i'll clean up. let me stay up!" parents, of course, are just the opposite. everything is down. "just calm down. slow down. come down here! sit down. put... that... down."

Your eyes are as a flame, but our brothers have neither hope nor fire. your mouth is cut of granite, but our brothers are soft and humble. your head is high, but our brothers cringe. you walk, but our brothers crawl. we wish to be damned with you, rather than blessed with all our brothers. do as you please with us, but do not send us away from you.

An editor should have a pimp for a brother so he'd have someone to look up to.

You shall find, that there cannot be a greater spur to the attaining what you would have the eldest learn, and know himself, than to set him upon teaching it his younger brothers and sisters.

The native american has been generally despised by his white conquerors for his poverty and simplicity. they forget, perhaps, that his religion forbade the accumulation of wealth and the enjoyment of luxury... furthermore, it was the rule of his life to share the fruits of his skill and success with his less fortunate brothers. thus he kept his spirit free from the clog of pride, cupidity, or envy, and carried out, as he believed, the divine decree-a matter profoundly important to him.

A teetotaler would regard it as his duty to associate with his drunkard brother for the purpose of weaning him from the evil habit.
