~By Sophie Marceau ~

~By Kristen Bell ~

~By Mark McGrath ~
What's funny about Jesus' Son is that I never even wrote that book, I just wrote it down. I would tell these stories and people would say, You should write these things down.
~By Denis Johnson ~

~By Alan Thicke ~

~By Robert Downey, Jr. ~

~By Cuba Gooding, Jr. ~
It's funny to have become an elegant skier now. But my drive is still the same.
~By Hermann Maier ~

~By Louie Anderson ~
Baldwin is sort of getting to be a bit funny. I don't know what happened, but a few years ago they suddenly went bankrupt and Gibson bought the whole outfit. Since then they haven't seemed to be doing an awfully good job of providing pianos.
~By Marian McPartland ~
I have a funny name.
~By Pia Zadora ~

~By H. R. Giger ~

Leno, Conan. They are both really funny. They really know how to land one.

~By Janeane Garofalo ~
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 ~
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 ~
I never smoked. I never drank and I never took drugs. The funny thing is, nothing is more boring, people like this. For me, it's OK. But most of my friends, at least they smoke and drink.
~By Karl Lagerfeld ~

~By Magic Johnson ~

~By Brady Anderson ~

~By Patty Duke ~
I do like any kind of project that has both comedy and drama in it because in life you don't have one day where everything is funny then the next day everything is dramatic.
~By Topher Grace ~
It's funny because I think it also goes very well with the show. It has this reputation as being this love city where everyone goes to get married, but when you get there, it's very corny and tacky.
~By Caroline Dhavernas ~
Stealing, you'll go far in life. Actually, there is something funny about getting away with it.

~By Oliver Platt ~
A lot of the tabloid stories are written so well, they're very clever and very funny. But you have to focus on what's really important and not read them - don't dive into it and don't get caught up in it.
~By Calista Flockhart ~
I love doing stuff with Todd Barry and Jon Benjamin. We give the stage to good bands and funny people.
~By David Cross ~

~By Garry Shandling ~
I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don't realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.
~By Parker Posey ~
I hope they make a show like M*A*S*H, which dealt with a lot of difficult subject matter but was very funny.
~By Joan Severance ~

~By Dana Carvey ~

~By Jenny McCarthy ~
The thing I thought about doing it was it's Comic Relief and you've got to be funny. So although I did try to sing properly it obviously has hilarious results when you can't sing.
~By Jo Brand ~

~By Gertrude Stein ~
But a funny thing happened four years later. I was invited to play for an alumni team against the Red Wings.
~By Ted Lindsay ~
All these jokes have been pre-approved as funny by me.
~By Mitch Hedberg ~
Especially with a comedy, you've got the clear cut goal of trying to make a scene funny. It's not like drama where you're trying to achieve some kind of emotion or trying to further the story along. You're trying to figure out what's the funniest way to do something.
~By Luke Wilson ~
I do not like onions. It's so funny because I am probably one of the least picky eaters ever. Pretty much any type of new food, I'll try it, I'll eat it. But onions, and pork. Pork and onions.
~By Stacie Orrico ~
So while it is true that I find really dark stuff funny sometimes, it's also true that as a writer of books I want to have the whole range of human emotions.
~By Rick Moody ~

~By Eric McCormack ~
It's funny how it usually works out that I end up dying. It sort of works out, because by the time I die, I'm usually tired of working on that particular movie, so I look forward to it.
~By Owen Wilson ~
Who do I like? I am a big fan of French and Saunders - not that that they are particularly stand-up I have to say, but I think they have been great for women and they are of themselves just incredibly funny whether they are male or female.
~By Jo Brand ~
I like reading Ball Tongue lyrics and all that stuff. And they published a book, and I wouldn't give my lyrics, and it's all wrong in the book, and I giggle. It's funny.
~By Jonathan Davis ~

~By Jerry Lawler ~
A funny thing happened on the way to the election - I got to the Senate first.
~By Pierre Salinger ~

~By Lisa Kudrow ~
But it is funny, because I saw Unbreakable recently and it's a strange movie, I didn't mind it, and it's got some interesting things going on.
~By Alex Winter ~
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 ~

~By John Badham ~
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 do jokes about what's funny, and both sides are funny.

~By David Cross ~

~By Tex Avery ~
John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.
~By Richard Widmark ~
Great, big, serious novels always get awards. If it's a battle between a great, big, serious novel and a funny novel, the funny novel is doomed.
~By Neil Gaiman ~

~By Rob Corddry ~

~By Jaime King ~

~By Zora Neale Hurston ~
