Comedian Quotes

I’m not a broad comedy guy. I’ve been funny in movies, but I’m not a comedian. I’m an actor who’s sometimes funny Picture Quote #1

I’m not a professional comedian. Nobody comes to my comedy shows. That’s just a little hobby Picture Quote #1

When I did Comic Relief, I did it to be on the show; it’s a badge of honor as a comedian to do that show Picture Quote #1

When you see a comedian on stage, the best comedians make it feel like a conversation. But it’s not. We have very little interest in what an audience has to say during a performance.

Though part of me had always wanted to be a comedian, another part of me had always wanted to be Bryant Gumbel or Dan Rather Picture Quote #1

Being a comedian, you’re under pressure. You have to deal with stress and pressure to perform - to deal with pressure without stress Picture Quote #1

Age, style, where you come from, where you were born, it’s different every time, which, to me, is refreshing because it says that there isn’t any one thing, one formula or kind of character that makes a great comedian. Everybody has had a different approach Picture Quote #1

Sometimes people say I’m a political comedian, which, actually I’m not. I’m a comedian who sometimes discusses politics, culture - again, the word ‘politics’ to me is just life Picture Quote #1

But you’re responsibility as a comedian is to get your viewpoints out into the world, and we have a lot more avenues to do that. So it’s a lot more opportunity, but really have to work all the time Picture Quote #1
