Quotes by Stand up Comedian Stephen Lynch

I've always been singing, since I was a little kid, and I learned how to play guitar in college. It just so happened that the only songs I really had any interest in writing were the ones that made my friends laugh. That's where that started, and then I just never stopped. But I never had any designs on becoming a comedian. I just kind of lucked into it.
~ Stephen Lynch

Lullaby' was the first song I wrote where I felt like, 'Wow, I nailed it!' I don't want to say that people can relate to it -- actually, you kind of hope that nobody can relate to it. But it seemed to me that the style had become subtler. And I saw how to set a course at the beginning, turn ninety degrees, and then once you think you know what's going on, turn it around again. That's pretty much how I've worked ever since then.
~ Stephen Lynch

Mark Tyke is my best friend. he is also one of the guys on my albums that does songs with me.
~ Stephen Lynch

Touring is fun. I usually have someone go with me, because I've written a couple of songs as duets. So, I either have Mark Teich (who's on the album with me) or my brother do it.

Yes, but it's funny because I used to get compared to him a lot, which was funny because I always thought that our styles were wildly disparate. Especially when he was doing songs on Saturday Night Live and I was kind of doing songs for my friends. Everybody said, "Oh man. You do stuff like Adam Sandler." I always kind of ran away from that comparison.
~ Stephen Lynch

Yes. I have certain songs that, if you just looked at them lyrically on a piece of paper, you might think they're funny. Or you might not. But when you hear them set to music, it adds a whole new element that the lyrics just don't provide. Sometimes it's a juxtaposition of insane lyrics with really nice music that sets it off and makes it funny. I try not to use that as a formula, but sometimes it happens that way.
