3 December 2020 Paula Poundstone I don’t have a bank account because I don’t know my mother’s maiden name.
3 December 2020 John Hodgman People forget how outcast ‘They Might Be Giants’ can be. They have a reputation for writing really deft, funny, clever melodies, and they also make a lot of music for kids, which is terrific, but when you see them in concert, they can rock the house.
3 December 2020 Albert Einstein When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.
3 December 2020 Seann William Scott I’m never afraid to try something if I think it’s funny. And I know I’ll regret it if I don’t.
3 December 2020 Jennifer Lopez A romantic comedy has to be funny and make you think about life but the obstacle that has to be overcome is key.
3 December 2020 Tom Hiddleston If you play it straight it’s funny – the best comedy is always played straight down the middle. The adjustment is understanding from the screenplay that a moment is hilarious.
3 December 2020 Wallace Shawn I was making my living from a joke about my appearance that I didn’t understand, and in a way still don’t, because when I look in a mirror it doesn’t seem funny to me.
3 December 2020 Seth Rogen To me, what separates a funny movie from a good movie is something personal.
3 December 2020 Gertrude Stein I know what Germans are. They are a funny people. They are always choosing someone to lead them in a direction which they do not want to go.

3 December 2020 Michael J. Fox I’m going to marry a Jewish woman because I like the idea of getting up Sunday morning and going to the deli.

3 December 2020 Rob Corddry Sometimes we have to actually say, I think you’re really funny, but none of your jokes are going to make it on the air. So just answer my questions. Seriously.

3 December 2020 Esther Williams I think it’s so funny when people think they can’t control a movie star. They can. We’re just women, you know.
