3 December 2020 Petra Nemcova I was so afraid to even read a paper in front of my classmates. It is very funny because at that point my teachers would never have believed that I could speak in front of an audience of over 2,000 people.
3 December 2020 Margaret Mead Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
3 December 2020 Daniel Craig I find it very easy playing Bond. I think he’s hilarious. He gets himself into some extraordinarily funny situations.
3 December 2020 Paul Feig I love funny people, and when I’m with funny people, or people who are amusing in their weirdness, I love it. Because that to me is funny, as opposed to someone who stops and says, ‘Hey let me tell you a joke.’
3 December 2020 Matt Stone And there’s a visceral fun in watching Team America and making it, like taking a puppet and throwing it against the wall. Because it’s not CG, there’s something funny about it.
3 December 2020 Bertrand Russell The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
3 December 2020 Drew Barrymore The people I grew up around who I really liked were quick on the draw. It always just wowed me. And my mum would make weird funny comments. I can see in myself her self-deprecating, hippie humour. I can’t take myself too seriously.
3 December 2020 Sloane Crosley I think a lot of humor is about distracting yourself. Pretend you’re not trying to make it funny. Because for some reason the effort to be funny smells like sulphur in our culture.
3 December 2020 Joe Rogan That’s my only goal. Surround myself with funny people, and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard.
3 December 2020 Jimmy Fallon I’m on so late I’m definitely the last seconds of anyone’s attention. So I just want to give them something dumb to laugh at, so they go, ‘That’s funny,’ then fall asleep.
3 December 2020 Jay Leno Don’t forget Mother’s Day. Or as they call it in Beverly Hills, Dad’s Third Wife Day.
3 December 2020 Daniel Radcliffe I mean I’ve seen 3D films so far and I think it’s a long way to go before they replace actors. It’s a funny thing with 3D, I haven’t quite got it yet. Yet.
3 December 2020 Don Van Vliet Johnny Rotten. He’s a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he’d stand up and holler. He’s funny. Smart too, and a nice guy. Don’t think he’s a jerk because he isn’t.
3 December 2020 Jack Benny I don’t deserve this award, but I have arthritis and I don’t deserve that either.
3 December 2020 Alan Cumming I come more to Scotland than I ever used to, so I feel more connected to it, more part of the zeitgeist. You know when you realize you have a choice and I’m choosing my homeland. It’s funny: when you get older these things creep up to you.
3 December 2020 Artie Lange It is funny because the guy who is my boss now, Howard Stern, has a similarity there. He got big being a regular guy. He wasn’t the greatest looking guy in the world.
3 December 2020 Vanessa Hudgens This is going to sound really funny. I have a poster of Zac Efron on my wall! I think every girl has a poster of him in their room so, why not join the club!
3 December 2020 David Ogden Stiers Very often, I don’t make it through moments of recording because it is genuinely funny and absolutely ridiculous that a 60-year-old grown man is making these noises.
3 December 2020 Paul Feig What’s so great about working with really funny women is that vanity comes second. Whatever makes it real and funny, they’re going to go for, and it’s just great.
3 December 2020 Jeff Ross Do you want me to apologize after every joke? If it doesn’t offend somebody it’s probably not a joke. It’s probably an observation that’s not funny. It’s gotta offend somebody somewhere.
3 December 2020 Elayne Boosler I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.
3 December 2020 James Lipton Comedians don’t laugh. They’re too busy analyzing why it’s funny or not.
3 December 2020 Mel Brooks Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.
3 December 2020 Josh Gad It’s funny, because ‘1600 Penn’ was the first time I really started to read the reviews, because I am an executive producer and I wanted to see what people were enjoying and not enjoying as a means to an end, right?
