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. – Jim Dale
I need to be cheered up a lot. I think funny people are people who need to be cheered up. – Lynda Barry
What has been happening more lately – of course, I also put in my bio, I say I do the voice of Goliath, but some people go – you know, I say something, and it’s a funny thing when you work in this business, people will talk out loud in front of you like you’re not there. – Keith David

The thing I most hate about the Left is that they want to stop us laughing – to prescribe which jokes are OK and which are not OK to make in public and to draw artificial lines around certain subjects. I find all sorts of inappropriate things funny. – Milo Yiannopoulos
I don’t care how handsome or fabulous or funny the groom is, or how sweet and accommodating the bride, or vice versa. Marriage is hard. – Jenna McCarthy

It’s funny, I’d rather be known as a writer who crafted a really nice piece about women’s friendships over time. But that doesn’t roll off the tongue like ‘YouTube sensation.’ – Kelly Corrigan
I don’t really find things funny unless they’re deeply tragic at the same time. I think if you’re funny just for the sake of being funny, it’s just frivolous nonsense. To me, all the best comic plays have been written about really serious and rather bleak things. – Lee Hall
As a comedian, I don’t know if they’re laughing because it’s funny or if they’re laughing at me because I’m not funny. And I’m thinking, ‘Who cares?

You can’t do anything to be funny. That’s cringeworthy. If your humor comes out of a place of love every time, you don’t make the joke bigger than you. The funniest comedians are in touch with their emotional level. – John Krasinski
I grew up as a very sarcastic person. I was always the class clown, and to date girls, I had to be really funny. I was really skinny growing up. I was so thin, I had to run around in the shower to get wet. That kind of thin. So I always had to rely on humor and sarcasm. – Kurt Fuller
My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe. – Jimmy Durante
I’m not sure when exactly I knew I was funny, but I always knew I was different. I never had an ‘edit’ button and would say whatever came into my head. Most of the time, what came out of my mouth was the very thing everyone else was thinking – but too polite or afraid to verbalize. – Judy Gold
We’ve got a bunch of new writers now who tell me they grew up watching The Simpsons. It’s bizarre, and they’re writing some very funny stuff. – Matt Groening
