Joy Behar's quotes

  • I want a man in my life, not in my house.
  • I don't get jealous of people. Jealousy is such a waste of time because you're jealous of them, and they go about their lives and have a wonderful time, so what's the point? It's a completely useless emotion - jealousy. I don't go there.

  • (On Mel Gibson): "Give me a break, you're an anti-Semite, you're a misogynist, and you're a racist!"
  • [When asked "What is the point of a size 0 dress?"]: They want to make us disappear.
  • It's one thing to talk to Jesus. It's another thing when Jesus talks to you. That's called mental illness if I'm not correct.
  • We have gotten to a point in the world now, where we have to rely on the sanity of Kim Jong Un and Putin over the President of the United States.
