The funny thing about ‘Take Shelter’ is that a lot of people talk about how it was allegory for the economy and things that were to happen. And that was so on the nose in the movie for me. I was like, ‘That’s obvious.’ It’s the other stuff about marriage and commitment and those other things that I spent the most time thinking about. – Jeff Nichols
I don’t know how to be like a Bill Murray or a Will Ferrell, these guys who know how to make a line funny just by, I don’t know, some extra-sense perception. I only know character and emotion and real acting; that’s all I know how to do. – John C. Reilly
To me, I’ve never understood why there is any question about are women as funny as men. – Judd Apatow

The thing about For Better or Worse is the only thing that made me an okay director for that is that I have a sense of humor, and it was supposed to be funny. – Jason Alexander
It’s amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper. – Jerry Seinfeld
If I’m ever at a mall or some kind of place where there’s a lot of younger girls, some people will recognize me from ‘Degrassi.’ But then it won’t happen for a long time. It’s funny – it happens more here in the States than it does in Canada. – Jake Epstein
The kind of funny irony is that a lot of people talk about ethical meat eating as if it’s a way to care about things, but also not to alienate yourself from the rest of the world. But it’s so much more alienating than vegetarianism. – Jonathan Safran Foer

I recently spent quite a bit of time in Sheffield, England, which is where I’m from. I wouldn’t move back there, but it’s funny when you spend a bit of time in the place where you were brought up. You kind of realize how that place has had quite a big effect on you or made you a certain way. – Jarvis Cocker
When I went to London, they told me I spoke with a funny accent – English with a Chinese accent. – Jean-Georges Vongerichten
