3 December 2020 Arthur Smith Ninety-eight per cent of laughter is nothing to do with jokes, which do not deserve to bear the weight of all the funny stuff in the world.
3 December 2020 Don Marquis Every cloud has its silver lining but it is sometimes a little difficult to get it to the mint.
3 December 2020 Lynda Barry I listen like mad to any conversation taking place next to me just trying to hear why this is funny. Women’s restrooms are especially great. I wash my hands twice waiting for people to come in and start talking.
3 December 2020 Steve Martin I thought ‘Borat’ was a breakthrough comedy, because it was really funny. It wasn’t some studio-produced script with 14 writers.
3 December 2020 Stephenie Meyer What’s funny about that is when I was writing Twilight just for myself and not thinking of it as a book, I was not thinking about publishing, and yet at the same time I was casting it in my head. Because when I read books, I see them very visually.
3 December 2020 Paul Feig For years, it’s driven me crazy that women don’t have better roles, especially in comedies. I know so many funny women but I always felt… misogynist streak is too strong a term – but a dismissiveness.
3 December 2020 Olivia Munn If you think something’s funny, go with that. Most comedians pull jokes from a place of honesty.
3 December 2020 Leighton Meester In this world, everyone wants to know everything about you, and I think that’s funny.
3 December 2020 Julianna Margulies I got pregnant at 40 by surprise. It’s funny, because when we found out we were pregnant, I said, ‘Okay, let’s experience that.’ You just have to just go with it because it’s rare.
3 December 2020 Zach Galifianakis When I was in high school I used to sit by myself in the cafeteria – not necessarily by choice – but I thought it was funny to talk to people that weren’t there.
3 December 2020 Leonardo DiCaprio I got attention by being funny at school, pretending to be retarded, and jumping around with a deformed hand.
3 December 2020 Ellen DeGeneres My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She’s ninety-seven now, and we don’t know where the hell she is.
3 December 2020 Ice Cube Our records, if you have a dark sense of humor, were funny, but our records weren’t about comedy. They were about protests, fantasy, confrontation and all that.
3 December 2020 Laurence J. Peter A man doesn’t know what he knows until he knows what he doesn’t know.
3 December 2020 Al Franken And I think that being able to make people laugh and write a book that’s funny makes the information go down a lot easier and it makes it a lot more fun to read, easier to understand, and often stronger. So there’s all kinds of advantages to it.
3 December 2020 Joan Rivers I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again.
3 December 2020 Richard Russo People often ask me how I make things funny. I don’t make things funny.
3 December 2020 W. Somerset Maugham It’s a funny thing about life if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.
3 December 2020 Bill Murray One of the things I like about acting is that, in a funny way, I come back to myself.
3 December 2020 Todd Phillips There’s a darkness under ‘The Hangover’ because ultimately there’s a missing person and it’s not really that funny. There’s a sort of darkness under it that I love, and still people are laughing as hard if not harder than they did in ‘Old School.’
3 December 2020 Harold Ramis Billy Crystal knows how to make people laugh. He’s got 30 years on stage… there’s no telling him what’s funny.
3 December 2020 Hilary Duff I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It’s really funny the way that some people don’t give kids enough credit for like really being driven, and really wanting to do things so badly.
3 December 2020 Albert Brooks I’ve been to many funerals of funny people, and they’re some of the funniest days you’ll ever have, because the emotions run high.
3 December 2020 Candace Bushnell Well in the book Carrie was my alter ego. In real life, Sarah Jessica and I don’t look anything alike. But people do say that we sound alike. Sarah Jessica is an adorable girl and she is very funny.
