Roseanne Barr Real Quotations

I try to do women's-point-of-view comedy. The joke is, 'This is what I think; there's the truth.' I try to think of stuff that's real broad, but the more personal it is, the more universal it is. All my friends go through the same stuff.

I was raised on government cheese. As an adult, in my first marriage, my husband and I worked real hard just to go bankrupt. I happened to write some jokes about it. I did real well for myself.

I loved work and I loved pouring myself into the work, you know. It was the real life that I had trouble with.

I avoided reality for most of my life. But once you deal with it, it's kind of cool.

The real truth is, I just want to keep the voice of dissent alive in all of our elections. I don't really want to hang out with politicians.

They've said 'Roseanne's nuts' for years, and now I'm going to make that a reality - I'm all about nuts now, macadamia nuts!

My real life is funnier than anything on TV.

I loved comedy all my life. I think it's a real powerful art form.
