3 December 2020 Rob Corddry I remember interviewing someone I actually felt bad for, and therefore didn’t want to take an ironic stance against him. It actually turned out to be a really funny piece.
3 December 2020 Nate Silver When human judgment and big data intersect there are some funny things that happen.
3 December 2020 Matt Groening Sometimes people get mad at The Simpsons’ subversive story telling, but there’s another message in there, which is a celebration of making wild, funny stories.
3 December 2020 David Hyde Pierce Sometimes in the most tragic situation, something just profoundly funny happens.
3 December 2020 Gertrude Stein It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son.
3 December 2020 Julia Sweeney I think one of the basic tasks in life – one of the nice things we can do for each other – is to take things that are horrible and scary and make them acceptable and less frightening and, if possible, funny. It feels great to succeed at that.
3 December 2020 Johnny Vegas Comedy’s so subjective, and if someone comes to watch, doesn’t get it, doesn’t find it funny, then fine.
3 December 2020 R. L. Stine I started writing when I was 9 years old. I was like this weird kid who would just stay in my room, typing little funny magazines and drawing comic strips.
3 December 2020 Lucy Liu Everything I buy is vintage and smells funny. Maybe that’s why I don’t have a boyfriend.
3 December 2020 Demetri Martin Stand up is really fun because if I think of a joke or a funny idea, then I can just go and tell some people and if they laugh, they laugh right away.
3 December 2020 Eminem Trust is hard to come by. That’s why my circle is small and tight. I’m kind of funny about making new friends.
3 December 2020 P. J. O'Rourke As I get older, all sorts of things become less funny. Once one has children, any cruelty involving children becomes far less amusing than when one was at the mercy of one’s friends’ and relatives’ children.
3 December 2020 James Brown I’m kidding about having only a few dollars. I might have a few dollars more.
3 December 2020 Michael Bergin I wasn’t even 20 at the time, but it taught me something about drugs. They can take a good man, a warm, funny, loving family man, and turn him into a loser and worse.
3 December 2020 James Herriot For years I used to bore my wife over lunch with stories about funny incidents.
3 December 2020 Joey Adams Do not worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older it will avoid you.
3 December 2020 Emily Giffin It’s a funny thing – when I’m crazed with work, spending time with my children relaxes me. Yet, at the end of a long weekend with them, the very thing I need to relax is a little work and time away from them!
3 December 2020 Julia Roberts It’s funny when people say, ‘I don’t think Julia likes me.’ Honey, if I don’t like you, you’re going to know about it.
3 December 2020 Esther Williams When you’re out of sight for as long as I was, there’s a funny feeling of betrayal that comes over people when they see you again.
3 December 2020 Emma Stone I think ‘Saturday Night Live’, starting in the 1970s, really gave women an outlet to be funny. A lot of those women went on to have film careers, from Kristen Wiig now to Tina Fey and Gilda Radner.
