I am dating, but it is hard to find someone quick enough and funny enough. I am quite demanding. – Anne Robinson

I’ve experienced plenty of times when something I think is funny doesn’t do very well. And there are times when something I don’t think is funny makes the audience laugh so hard. – Carrot Top
We owe to the Middle Ages the two worst inventions of humanity – romantic love and gunpowder. – Andre Maurois
Yes, I’ve seen Louis CK. I wouldn’t in any way make a degrading remark about Louis CK, but the question is do I think anyone is funny? And the answer is not too many people. He might fit right in there. – Chevy Chase
As a comedian, it really gelled when I started doing standup. Because standup is so much about bravery, especially in the early days. There is no doubt that it is going to go terribly for you over and over and over again. But you cannot get funny without bombing. – Aisha Tyler
It’s funny because there’s a part of me that, if something is popular, I sort of become a defiant teenager about it. Like, ‘Oh, I’m not gonna like that because everybody likes it.’ – AJ Lee
My mother was against me being an actress – until I introduced her to Frank Sinatra. – Angie Dickinson

I like to invest as a performer in the director’s vision and then bring a sense of reality to whatever I’m doing, whether it’s comedy or whether it’s drama, and trust that they’re going to tell me if something’s reading as funny or if it’s reading as dramatic or reading in the right tone. – Amy Seimetz
I dream of acting with Kevin Costner. I would love to do a movie with him. Not something funny, but a dramatic role. – Bill Engvall
It’s funny because ‘West Wing’ is similar to ‘Game of Thrones’ in some ways, as it was very hard to pull off back then. – Alex Graves
I’m so single. It’s funny. I’m usually a relationship girl. I love being in love and having a partner in crime. But it’s good to be your own partner in crime. God, that makes me sound like I have multiple-personality disorder. – Brittany Snow
Now the point of comedy is not just looking funny, it’s use of language. We have at our disposal a great language… and the imaginative, creative use of that language can be at the service of humour. – Barry Humphries
It’s funny with jeans now, because if they don’t feel like a pair of sweatpants, I don’t have patience for them anymore! I think I’m becoming increasingly lazy. – Claire Danes

It’s funny: when I first started getting vocal about how much I liked ‘Doctor Who,’ I didn’t realize how deep the fan base was. – Chris Hardwick

You re-watch ‘Napoleon Dynamite’, and there’s a lot of thrift shopping that goes on in that movie; there’s a lot of funny stuff. It’s definitely amusing, and paying 99 cents for a samurai sword is amazing. – Al Madrigal
There’s not one thing that inspires me the most. Me and my friends joke around with each other and hang out so much that whatever makes us laugh really hard makes it into ‘Workaholics.’ But the characters that I think are funny are guys that are confidently stupid. – Adam DeVine
So much of a stand-up’s life is doing live radio and having to be funny and quick on the spot with these strangers, and sort of surgical in terms of how funny I can be in three minutes. – Aisha Tyler

It’s funny because I think that both France and Britain are known for their distinctive styles, and everyone says that France is so chic and elegant but I think, more than that, French women are renowned for dressing in what suits them. – Alexa Chung
Steve Martin is one of the most intelligent, well-read human beings that I’ve ever come across. He is equally as funny off screen as he is on. But he also has a very intellectual side, and he’s a really nice human being. We actually become good friends. – Anthony LaPaglia
I think the kick to doing comedy is just to get in a film with really funny people and let them do their jobs. I find that in most comedies, I’m not the funny one, which works out great. – Amy Adams
