3 December 2020 P. J. O'Rourke Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.
3 December 2020 Steve Coogan If you are a great dramatic actor then you often don’t know if people are enjoying your stuff at all because they are sitting there in silence. But with comedy it’s a simple premise. If it’s funny, people laugh. If it’s not, they don’t.
3 December 2020 Doug Coupland There’s nothing cure or funny or lovable about being cheap. It’s a total turn-off.
3 December 2020 Parker Posey I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don’t realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.
3 December 2020 Paul Feig I have an inability to enjoy things, but that’s why we’re in comedy. If we were happy, we wouldn’t be funny, I guess.
3 December 2020 George Bernard Shaw A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
3 December 2020 Calvin Trillin I actually think of being funny as an odd turn of mind, like a mild disability, some weird way of looking at the world that you can’t get rid of.
3 December 2020 Georgina Chapman It’s funny, because I sometimes feel that I’m most creative when I’m pregnant.
3 December 2020 Mike Myers My father was always a straight-up funny guy. He was silly. He was my inspiration.
3 December 2020 Billy Corgan A good artist is willing to die many times over. What’s funny is, I’ve died so many times.
3 December 2020 Jenny Eclair I can’t watch other people doing comedy. As soon as somebody starts being funny I have to turn off because it upsets me. I get comedy indigestion. I just hate anybody else being funny. That’s my job.
3 December 2020 Wallace Shawn For some reason, people find me funny. It’s quite hard to define why a thought is funny. It’s even harder to define why a person would be funny. It’s a word that I can’t define at all. But whether I know quite what it is or not, I seem to be it.
3 December 2020 Courteney Cox It’s funny, because I never think of myself as Little Miss All-Together.
3 December 2020 Jason Reitman It’s funny, I can sit through the worst horror film ever made but even a quite good romantic comedy can drive me nuts.
3 December 2020 Marc Jacobs I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I’m recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it’s not as commonplace to be recognized.
3 December 2020 Eddie Van Halen It’s funny, when bands or younger musicians ask me: ‘So, what does it take to make it?’ Well, first explain to me what you mean by ‘making it’: Do you want to be a rock star or do you want music to be your livelihood?
3 December 2020 Elisabeth Shue I really love ‘Soapdish.’ I wish ‘Soapdish’ had more of a moment because I felt that that is a really strong, funny movie. Kevin Kline is hilarious in that movie.
3 December 2020 Rowan Atkinson Funny things tend not to happen to me. I am not a natural comic. I need to think about things a lot before I can be even remotely amusing.
3 December 2020 Howard Stern Yes, I believe blue material is funny, but if that’s all you’ve got, you’re dead in the water. It’s not good.
3 December 2020 Patty Duke I joke around a lot about the manic times because they’re funny. We manics do outrageous things and it is part of our colorful nature.
