I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn’t want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn’t have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It’s funny because I’d always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn’t think that I would be in the movies. – Kristen Stewart
It’s kind of a funny way to put it, but if you want to study a dynamic economic system, what you’d like to be able to do is focus on the linkages, say, between asset markets and the macro economy without having to model everything at the same time. – Lars Peter Hansen
The two things in the world we all share in this world are laughter and pain. We’ve all got problems. The levels of those problems vary, but we’ve all got problems. When you can take things that are painful and make them funny, that’s a gift – to you and your audience. – Kevin Hart
The letters I really love are from young actresses who were worried they had to fit a certain look. They say I’ve opened it up. And I don’t just mean plus-size girls. You can push things now. With all the great performances in ‘Bridesmaids’, it changed how people see funny women. – Melissa McCarthy
The funny thing about children is that, whichever room we’re in, that’s where they’ll be. If I’m in the bath, they’ll want to be in there too, playing with the toothbrush pot or brushing my hair. – Keeley Hawes
As a five-year-old in Berlin in 1965, I didn’t know that funny women existed. It wasn’t until I got back to England that I realised women could be funny. – Jenny Eclair
If you record the world honestly, there’s no way people can stop being funny. A lot of fiction writing doesn’t get that idea, as if to acknowledge it would trivialize the story or trivialize human nature, when in fact human nature is reduced and falsified if the comic aspects are not included. – Lorrie Moore
The drawings in ‘Portal’ were actually me scribbling that stuff… I had a funny moment when I realized that someone gotten ‘The cake is a lie’ tattooed on themselves. It was really interesting to see my handwriting tattooed on another human being. That… that’s odd. – Kim Swift

I definitely knew I wanted to be an actor in high school. I was doing plays and musicals, and I loved ‘Saturday Night Live’ and thought that was what I wanted to do – funny sketches and comedies. So I knew then, but I didn’t know how to go about it, but I found my way. – Jerry Trainor
I love practical jokes and humor. That there’s frankly no joke that I don’t think is funny. I love practical jokes, but I don’t like being scared. – Mitt Romney
When I say, ‘I can’t stay long, I’m in-between meals,’ that plays differently on the radio than it does in person. So I have to pick material that works because the words are funny, not just because of the images. – Louie Anderson
It’s always cool on the airplane when people are watching ‘SVU.’ It’s funny. And it’s always the reruns. – Kelli Giddish
Thankfully, I found athletics. My mum didn’t like it at first, but the funny thing is that, now, she’s the biggest athletics fan out there. She’s a real expert, and she’s got all the heptathlon books. – Katarina Johnson-Thompson
I’m a big fan of comedians not having to apologize for anything. Nowadays it seems comedians are always apologizing for being funny. – Kevin Dillon
The inspiration for my Vines comes from thinking about funny and relatable experiences from my daily life. – Lele Pons

I love Nicole Holofcener and Lynn Shelton, both for the same reasons: their films are funny without being forced, intimate and real while also being hugely entertaining. – Liz Tuccillo
I love ‘Saturday Night Live,’ and it’s such a funny show. I don’t know if I’m funny enough to be on it but definitely would be interested in doing it. – Lindsey Vonn
To go from working with a group of people in a sketch-comedy show on a small network, where it was all about just creating funny stuff, to being on a network show, and the pressures of that, and getting to know the new people who were involved in it. There was a learning curve for me. But it was an education. – Ken Marino
So to me, Texas Hold ’em puts me to sleep. At least when you play stud, you can be funny as you deal. Somebody some day is going to come up with a Stud show that’s going to work. – Joseph Bologna
