Sometimes people get mad at The Simpsons’ subversive story telling, but there’s another message in there, which is a celebration of making wild, funny stories. – Matt Groening
I’ve always been part of comedy. One of the things about our family was that if we were reasonably funny with each other, particularly my two brothers and myself, when my father was upset with something you’d want to make sure in some way you made him laugh. Because when he didn’t laugh, you were in trouble! – Leslie Nielsen
It’s funny, I can sit through the worst horror film ever made but even a quite good romantic comedy can drive me nuts. – Jason Reitman
I love to do comedy, and I don’t think of things as drama or comedy. I think that if it’s a funny line, it’s a funny line. If it’s a funny moment, it’s a funny moment. – Kathy Baker
I just like the continue doing what I’ve been doing. A melange of funny, straight drama, television, movies, a little theater here and there wouldn’t hurt. So if I can keep doing that, I’ll be a very happy person. – Mary Tyler Moore
I’m a sucker for gag reels and teaser trailers for new seasons. One of the great parts of panels, especially on a show like ‘Supernatural,’ which can be so dark, it’s fun to get up there and laugh and remember we’re only telling a story. Seeing Eric Kripke and Ben Edlund up there being so funny always makes me laugh. – Jared Padalecki
I went from 250 to, like, 175 in three and a half, four months. And then I ended up graduating with honors. I went from a 2.4 to a 3.06 in a year. It’s funny how those two are related. I don’t want to say that if you lose weight, you’ll get smarter, but… well, it worked for me. – Jay Pharoah
I had the classic 40 meltdown. I did. It’s embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness. – Keanu Reeves
It’s quite funny in that I once won Rear of the Year at my school! I was about 17 in the sixth form and we used to have an end of year celebration and give out different awards. I even got a little trophy! – Jessica Ennis
It’s a funny thing: You want so badly for people to see what you do – you’re proud of it – and I like the effect that movies have on people. But the attention can also make me uncomfortable. – Kristen Stewart
Eddie Drake is sort of this loose cannon, funny, edgy guy, who has this really foolish, foolish mustache. – Lee Tergesen
What really irks me is the snide victimizing suggestion from some that I have tried to be lighthearted and funny… Oh my God – this is so offensive. – Michael Leunig
I turned down ‘Some Like It Hot.’ See how smart I am? I felt I couldn’t bring anything funny to it. The outfit was funny. I don’t need to compete with the wardrobe. – Jerry Lewis
I grew up in a time when women didn’t really do comedy. You had to be homely, overweight, an old maid, all that. You had to play a stereotype, because very attractive women were not supposed to be funny – because it’s powerful; it’s a threat. – Lily Tomlin
Have enough sense to know, ahead of time, when your skills will not extend to wallpapering. – Marilyn vos Savant
I did a film called ‘Black Dynamite’ that was very, very funny. That seems to be a film that’s kind of a cult classic. – Kevin Chapman
You’ve got to play every game until it’s over. Baseball is a funny game, so you never know what’s going to happen. – Jacob deGrom
That is not all I need. I need dogs. A house filled with dogs and a smart, funny, kind, loving girlfriend or wife. – Moby
It’s funny when someone says to you ‘you’re hot’ and all that, because I don’t think of it in that way. – Kate Winslet
It’s a funny show. The characters are surprisingly likable, given how ugly they are. We’ve got this huge cast of characters that we can move around. And over the last few seasons, we’ve explored some of the secondary characters’ personal lives a bit more. – Matt Groening
Whether I’m writing a novel about a guy mourning the death of his father or whether I’m writing a show about people killing each other, you want to hear characters speak and be funny and witty. – Jonathan Tropper
The funny thing is the songs that people think are about me probably aren’t. And the songs that are probably are the ones they wouldn’t think… so that’s where it kind of is funny. – LeAnn Rimes
I was always worried with comedy – what if I came to work and I wasn’t in a funny mood? That hasn’t been an issue. – Jeremy Sisto
I went to the University of San Francisco on an athletic scholarship. I didn’t study in high school. I was just there to get by and to play basketball. But a funny thing happened to me when I got to college. I got challenged by the work and the professors. – Michael Franti
That’s the easiest job you can have in TV comedy, being the guy who just delivers the funny. – Josh McDermitt
