I can play a cat lady. I can’t put my foot down and refuse to play anything but playing the perfect, well-adjusted woman, because those people aren’t as fun or funny. – Sarah Baker
Nowadays they have 12 directors and 15 producers and 30 writers. And all the writers want their lines said a certain way-which isn’t necessarily funny. I mean the lines aren’t necessarily so funny to begin with. – Tim Conway
There’s a story everywhere. Being bored to death someplace is basically a funny proposition. What you have to watch out for is you don’t write a boring story about a boring place. – Tim Cahill
No comedian’s wife thinks he’s funny. The first few years of the marriage, maybe. I was funny as hell the first couple of years. – Tom Smothers

Don’t get me wrong, there are sometimes if I go and see a really funny comedy, that I wished I had smoked a joint. I’ll be honest with you. That’s the truth. – Stephen Baldwin
I’m quite an odd little part of the Venn diagram. I’m not a movie star and beautiful in that way. I do an odd thing that’s funny and sad, and my face and my old body can take that. – Tamsin Greig
Do you know, it’s funny, but I never thought of being blind as a disadvantage, and I never thought of being black as a disadvantage. – Stevie Wonder
Why does everyone think the future is space helmets, silver foil, and talking like computers, like a bad episode of Star Trek? – Tracey Ullman

As a writer myself, my job has very often been to also write on the job. So you get the script and a vague idea of how the scene might work, and you then add funny words or change the script.

I always surprise myself with my voice. A lot of people don’t get it, and they’re like, ‘You can’t sing. Stop. What are you doing?’ And it’s funny to hear a lot people say I sing in falsetto because it’s not falsetto – that’s my voice. – Shamir
My grandmothers are Irish-American and German-American; my grandfather is from the Caribbean. My father is African-American. My family looked funny. I just started naturally imitating whoever I was talking to. I didn’t want to be a phony, but I felt very authentic in the moment. – Sarah Jones

Thomas, my 15-year-old, is effectively my editor, I’ve always trusted his voice, more than anybody, on the strip for years. He has one of those ears that’s just tuned to the rhythm of humor, so if he says something’s not funny, my stomach just hurts because I know he’s right, and it’s already been drawn. – Stephan Pastis
