Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.
~By Ivan Reitman ~
It's funny that people think because you don't have a movie or record out, you disappear into a frozen chamber someplace. They think you're dead when you're not in the public eye.
~By Jason Schwartzman ~
I awake with a not entirely sickened knowledge that I am merely young again and in a funny way at peace, an observer who is aware of time's chariot, aware that some metamorphosis has occurred.
~By Harold Brodkey ~
We have never been strictly political, only strictly funny.
~By Adrian Edmondson ~

~By Hugh Grant ~
I knew exactly what to do on Alien, it was funny.
~By Ridley Scott ~
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.
~By Don Van Vliet ~
But it was this tough little character part that I was playing, a very funny little guy that I invented over a weekend, because I realized I was not contributing to the humor of this thing. And I had to do something.
~By Dabney Coleman ~
It's funny that all these goths paint their faces with such white make-up and that is the actual colour of my skin, I am that pale!

~By Tracey Ullman ~

~By James L. Brooks ~

~By William Feather ~
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.
~By Artie Lange ~
You amaze me. You're 229 years old and that's what you think is funny.
~By Max Wright ~
I have only been funny about seventy four per cent of the time. Yes I think that is right. Seventy-four per cent of the time.
~By Will Ferrell ~
Do you know anything that in all its innocence is more humiliating than the funny pages of a Sunday newspaper in America?
~By Johan Huizinga ~
Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting.
~By Bill Gates ~
I'm really funny now.
~By Wanda Sykes ~
It was the most fun I've ever had on a movie. It was one of the happiest times in my life. I was living in New York, and I really enjoyed acting at the time. Also, it's funny because that was also the time when I went downhill.
~By Mickey Rourke ~
They sent me the script and I thought that there was something very appealing and funny about it. Also, I was familiar with Mike Myers' work in Saturday Night Live, but I did not know the extent to which he would make this creation.
~By Michael York ~
Everything is funny, as long as it's happening to somebody else.
~By Will Rogers ~
Yes, he wanted me to do Funny Games before, which I didn't want to do because the film was very theoretical - the way people experience violence on screen. There was very little space for fiction, it was more like a sacrifice for the actors than anything else.
~By Isabelle Huppert ~
I wish I had a funny story.
~By Leslie Easterbrook ~
I don't think there has been any increase in sophistication in the audience. When people are aware of a concept that's easy to understand, and there's an actor who will attract them to the theater and it's a movie that's funny three-quarters of the time, it will be successful.
~By David Zucker ~
I don't need to convince anybody that I know kung fu, but maybe somebody needs to know that I really can act, without doing a Chinese accent or a funny walk.
~By David Carradine ~

~By Jerry Lawler ~
What was really funny is that as I got older all those guys who called me a sissy in junior high school wanted me to be their best friend because they wanted to meet all the girls that I knew in figure skating.
~By Scott Hamilton ~
No one ever thought Clint Eastwood was funny, but he was.
~By Annie Leibovitz ~

~By Rob Corddry ~
It's funny what a few no-hitters do for a body.
~By Satchel Paige ~
I love nerds. Comic-Con junkies are the tastemakers of tomorrow. Isn't that funny? The tables have turned.
~By Kristen Bell ~
It's funny how a film about a murderous old English toff can help you.
~By Jim Broadbent ~
Writing for young children I find I often use particular jokes with words and exaggerated, funny events, but some of these haunt the more complex stories for older children too.
~By Margaret Mahy ~
Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious, you're a clown.
~By Fanny Brice ~
I play a female Indiana Jones, a professor who hunts down precious objects, like a bowl that belonged to the Buddha. They tailored the role to me: I wanted to be smart, funny, and to kick some ass.
~By Tia Carrere ~
It's funny, I had dinner with my dear friend John Spencer last night and I'm not in the first episode, but he's at the beginning of it and he was telling me about it and I thought this sounds very hot because I think this is definitely the last year of West Wing.
~By Stockard Channing ~
It's a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing nothing.
~By Zora Neale Hurston ~
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.
~By Michael Bergin ~
It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
~By Karl Lagerfeld ~
It's funny how a chubby kid can just be having fun, and people call it entertainment!
~By Garth Brooks ~
Boston is actually the capital of the world. You didn't know that? We breed smart-ass, quippy, funny people. Not that I'm one of them. I just sorta sneaked in under the radar.
~By John Krasinski ~
There's nothing cure or funny or lovable about being cheap. It's a total turn-off.
~By Doug Coupland ~
If you take a bunch of superstars and put them in a room where they don't have their assistants and entourage, it's funny to see what happens.
~By Daryl Hall ~
I'm not funny. What I am is brave.
~By Lucille Ball ~
Everything is so funny in the movie. The funniest thing about the movie is the transformations they were able to make with the characters.
~By Joe Viterelli ~
I just heard a very funny story about somebody who died yesterday, I'm sorry to say so but it was so absurd that you can't help laughing. And the person that was concerned about that story was laughing too.
~By Sophie Marceau ~
Chris Elliott could read the phonebook and he's funny.
~By Seth MacFarlane ~
It's a funny thing because you look at the careers of other filmmakers, and you see them sort of slow down, and you realize, maybe this becomes harder to do as you get older. That's sort of a cautionary thing. I hope it doesn't happen to me.
~By Joel Coen ~
When I was a kid, there was no distinction between a movie about old people or young people. It was either funny or not. It was either entertaining or not. It was either exciting or not. It was either thrilling or not.
~By Joseph Bologna ~
No, no, I was only funny on stage, really. I, I, think I was funny as a person toward my classmates when I was very young. You know, when I was a child, up to about the age of 12.
~By Rowan Atkinson ~
There have been times when I felt suicidal and I would stop my head from going in that direction of negativity because I thought there'd be something I'd miss that was funny in the future. If there's a chance I'm going to laugh tomorrow then want to live to experience that.
~By Dave Navarro ~
The promos with all of the beautiful women probably attracted some men, but the mystery story line is pretty cool. It's got that dark edge, and people will watch anything funny.
~By James Denton ~
If I can't see the humor in it, how am I going to be funny?
~By Casey Affleck ~
It's funny because a lot of people that know me as a dancer, don't know that I'm a singer, and a lot of people that know I can sing don't know I can dance. And so, I feel like at some point I have to show them both and really be able to display it and showcase it, and put that out there.
~By Naima Adedapo ~
We try to... we are, I suppose to a certain extent all affected and erm, that is both funny and sad I think.
~By Tony Hancock ~
I was always telling everybody that I could be funny.
~By Sally Kellerman ~
I write funny. If I can make my wife laugh, I know I'm on the right track. But yes, I don't like to get Maudlin. And I have a tendency towards it.
~By Gene Wilder ~
I was lucky. My family is wonderful. And it's funny, because most of my best friends come from very large families. So it always felt as if I had lots of siblings, though in the end I had to leave them and go home. I kind of got the best of both worlds as a kid.
~By Sophia Bush ~
Chevy Chase and Bill Murray - we thought those guys were funny. We love Bill Murray, but we didn't think they were right for Airplane! because it would step on the joke if there was a known comedian.
~By David Zucker ~
If you're talking about Java in particular, Python is about the best fit you can get amongst all the other languages. Yet the funny thing is, from a language point of view, JavaScript has a lot in common with Python, but it is sort of a restricted subset.
~By Guido van Rossum ~
I walked in thinking, 'I have ten movies under my belt and now they want me to go back to making commercials?' I said, if I do that, I want it to be funny.
~By Orlando Jones ~
In Italy, I had an Afro, and a lot of the kids came up and felt my hair. It really was funny. I wish I had understood Italian.
~By Sugar Ray Leonard ~
I think that came out of watching all those serious movies for all that time. If you watch a movie like Zero Hour, Sterling Hayden is pretty funny, and so are the guys in the cockpit.
~By David Zucker ~
At boarding school you had to wear your name across your chest and your back, and obviously I had a pretty funny name. It wasn't Brown or Smith or Hughes.
~By Diane Cilento ~

~By Joe Rogan ~
You know, funny is this weird word for me. I hear is so many times it has no meaning anymore.
~By Bruce McCulloch ~
You can't really be strong until you see a funny side to things.
~By Ken Kesey ~
Europe is scooters. Europe is five young people on one bench sharing a chocolate bar. Their idea of entertainment and fun is so much different than ours, which is exactly why a movie about them would be funny.
~By Mike Myers ~
I did. I did see Bigfoot when I was a kid and I still believe it to this day. I saw a big furry man outside my window. It's not funny! It was real.
~By Barry Watson ~
If people want to compete for leadership of a religious group, they can compete in piety. A chilling thought. Or funny.
~By Mary Douglas ~
Even when I begin with a situation that's basically funny or sad, I like to keep poking around in it. I like to get into the middle of a relationship, to explore the subtle places.
~By Paul Mazursky ~
I think that the episodes are like mini horror films really; the characters make bad decisions early on and these things just snowball for them and get worse and worse. And that's what I find funny.
~By Dave Rowntree ~
Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is.
~By Steve Martin ~

~By Daniel Baldwin ~
It's funny because it's funny.
~By David Spade ~
I remember certain people in the audience laughing and I wanted to ask: 'What are you laughing at? This isn't funny.' Now I realize that laughter can come from insecurity. They don't know how they should be feeling.
~By Jim Dale ~
I have no agenda except to be funny. Neither I or the writers profess to offer any worldly wisdom.
~By Julia Louis Dreyfus ~
I'm smart and I can be really funny and interesting and I can go toe-to-toe with anybody in a conversation.
~By Megan Fox ~
They say Yogi Berra is funny. Well, he has a lovely wife and family, a beautiful home, money in the bank, and he plays golf with millionaires. What's funny about that?
~By Casey Stengel ~
We definitely have our finger on the pulse. You have to keep up. We decide what to watch by what's funny.
~By Shawn Wayans ~
When I started my program... there was a big clock in the corner and I looked and it said nine o'clock exactly. And it was funny, because when I was standing on the podium, it said exactly 10 p.m., and this whole hour had changed my life.
~By Sarah Hughes ~
In the Netherlands I read the first chapter of Exquisite Corpse to an audience that laughed in all the places I thought were funny - an experience I've never had in America!
~By Poppy Z. Brite ~
I don't think, 'Gee, I'd like to dress this person.' There was a picture in Us magazine. It was a jersey dress, and Courtney Love was wearing it. I have this thing about Courtney Love, this funny worship.
~By Marc Jacobs ~
I think cheese smells funny, but I feel bananas "are" funny. I'm assuming Swamp told the whole story of the executives seriously asking us to replace the banana with cheese because they thought it was funnier.
~By Joe Murray ~
You know, the funny thing about Lorne and that show is that, you can go over one million things, but in a business of bean counters, he still likes to laugh at small things and creates a show around it.
~By Colin Quinn ~
I can't imagine actually singing on this show like I did on 'Felicity,' but it would be kind of funny.
~By Amy Jo Johnson ~
Certainly there are things in life that money can't buy, but it's very funny - Did you ever try buying then without money?
~By Ogden Nash ~
It's so funny how my name has always been such a big deal. When I was growing up, my family was always moving. I had to meet new people all the time. And they'd laugh.
~By Calista Flockhart ~
I am odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet.
~By Angelina Jolie ~
Well, I had said to my friends, it's going to be good, but I bet it's going to be cheesy in a way. And I didn't think that at all. It's so good and was just so funny.
~By Brittany Snow ~
But I think once the word gets out that the movie is funny - funny is transcendent - it will traverse all demographic barriers if people embrace it as a funny movie.
~By Thomas Haden Church ~
I have a funny family, but none of them are remotely in show business.
~By Wanda Sykes ~
I read a funny story about how the Republicans freed the slaves. The Republicans are the ones who created slavery by law in the 1600's. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and he was not a Republican.
~By Marion Berry ~
I actually was class clown, but I don't know how that happened because I've never been considered an outwardly funny person-as the people in this room will attest.
~By Janeane Garofalo ~
