Looking back, that was crazy.
  274. =========================

  304. =========================


  305. As I get older, all sorts of things become l~ess funny. Once one has children, any cruelty involving children becomes far less amusing than when one was at the mercy of one's friends' and relatives' children.
  306. =========================

  307. I tend to play characters that I can infuse with certain kinds of humour. Even the baddest guy can be funny in his own particul~ar way. I want the audience to engage with the character on some deeper level so that they leave the cinema still thinking about him.

  348. =========================

  349. Being effective at social media, whether for bus~iness or personal use, means capturing people who have short attention spans. They're only a click away from a picture of a funny cat, so you have to make your thi~ng more compelling than that cat. And that can be a high bar.

  351. I don't think it's any coincidence that I lost my religious faith and 'manned up' in the same year. I was described somewhere as a lapsed Ca~tholic, which is funny because I'm not going back! I want to achieve things rather than live life in an animalistic way.

You have to pretend it doesn't hurt.
  366. =========================

  382. =========================
  383. I'm so single. It's funny. I'm usuall~y 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.
  384. =========================

  392. =========================

  393. When you're in the editing room, the dangerous thing is that it becomes like telling a joke again and again and again. Eventually, the ~joke starts to not be funny. So you have to be careful that you're not throwing the baby out with the bath water.

  396. =========================
  397. Screaming at children ove~r their grades, especially to the point of the child's tears, is child abuse, pure and simple. It's not funny and it'~s not good parenting. It is a crushing, scarring, disastrous experience for the child. It isn't the least bit funny.

  418. =========================
  419. I know some people say I can be funny. But there is always a deeper meaning to what I say. I am a socialist at heart and have~ the interests of the poor in mind. When people see how I manage to work my way out of tough situations, it gives them hope in their own life.

  424. =========================

  425. I grew up as a very sarcastic p~erson. 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.

  436. =========================

  437. It's funny, when bands or young~er musicians ask me: 'So, what does it take to make it?' Well, first explain to me what you mean by 'making it': Do you want to be a rock star or do you want music to be your livelihood

  439. The funny thing is that my husband couldn't be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He's got tattoos and earrings and a mohawk, but w~hen you talk to him and he's around you, he's such a gentleman. He holds doors for ladies. He pulls out chairs. He cooks. He cleans.

  447. Life's pretty funny when you're objectively on the outside looking at it.
  448. =========================

  450. =========================

  451. I'm not that good looking. That's why 'Gangnam Style' works. If someone handsome uses that phrase it's just awkward. But if someone like me uses it, it's funny.
  452. =========================

  453. Phil Hartman was brilliant, and Dave Foley is a really funny guy. Phil Hartman was actually even funnier offstage than he was onstage because he would say nasty things. Dave Foley's very funny, very witty guy, very quick.

  474. =========================
  475. 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 proble~ms 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.

The whole idea is to reflect life in some way, which means surely you have to have both.
  480. =========================

  481. At home in L.A., Sunday is lazy. It's~ the wife and me lying in bed with coffee, watching 'The Soup' or something funny on TiVo. The kid will occasionally join us.

  482. =========================


  483. People think it's funny that I enjoy dreaming so much. I just use it as a form of entertainment. It's very private. I don't see my dream~s as separate. I mean, half the time I'm wandering around dreaming anyway.
  484. =========================


  485. Isn't it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four tim~es a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.
  486. =========================

  487. Is everything funny? For me, yes. There's a positive to every negative. Even my divorce? For me, yes. If you go back and look at it, why~ it happened or how it happened, there's something in there that'll make you laugh.
