Comedy Quotes

None of us grew up feeling like winners. So thank you to the bullies, to the popular kids, to the gym teachers who taunted us, who rejected us and who made fun of the way we ran. Without you we never would have gone into comedy Picture Quote #1

It’s about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. You can find pictures anywhere. It’s simply a matter of noticing things and organising them. You just have to care about what’s around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy Picture Quote #1

Chess is a game sufficiently rich in meaning that it is easily capable of containing elements of both tragedy and comedy Picture Quote #1

... life is moral responsibility. Life is several other things, we do not deny. It is beauty, it is joy, it is tragedy, it is comedy, it is psychical and physical pleasure, it is the interplay of a thousand rude or delicate motions and emotions, it is the grimmest and the merriest motley of phantasmagoria that could appeal to the gravest or the maddest brush ever put to palette; but it is steadily and sturdily and always moral responsibility Picture Quote #1

There’s something about comedy, funny things, that people want to pass them along. Serious things and personal things are much more privately enjoyed. That’s why there are not a lot of sad viral videos Picture Quote #1

Both law and comedy are heavily focused on thought and viewing all angles. To write a good joke, you have to look at a premise every way possible. And with a good legal argument, you have to see all sides to get the best line of argument for your client. Law school made me a better comic, and comedy has made me a better public speaker Picture Quote #1

Comedy has always been important in my family. If you got in a good joke at the dinner table, it meant more than almost anything else Picture Quote #1

When I did comedy I made fun of myself. If there was a buffoon, I played the buffoon Picture Quote #1

Comedy is like music. You have to know the key and you have to find players with good chops Picture Quote #1

I have a tendency toward the pleasures of the flesh. It’s a battle for me, as far as weight and things like that. But I’m curbing them because I want to continue to do comedy, and the two don’t mix. So I try to fight those demons Picture Quote #1

Drama is easier to do because you just have to have the emotion and not get caught acting, but comedy is much harder Picture Quote #1

Two things are not debatable: eroticism, and comedy. If you don’t think it’s sexy, or funny, there’s no way I can change your mind Picture Quote #1

In order for comedy to be funny you have to play the truth of the moment. But if you’re not being completely truthful to the basis of the character, its not going to be funny Picture Quote #1

I think good comedy is a commitment to the absurd in that the situation for the actors should be virtually played like a drama Picture Quote #1

I do agree you can’t just make movies three hours long for no apparent reason. For a romantic comedy to be three hours long, that’s longer than most marriages Picture Quote #1

I let the comedy come through the character and just try to make sure that everything is kind of rounded in a truth, in a reality, because that’s what I need to make a character work Picture Quote #1

The object of a comedy is not to correct morals or ridicule the vices of society; no, a comedy should depict the discrepancies between life and purpose, should be the fruit of bitter indignation aroused by the degradation of human dignity, should be sarcasm, and not an epigram, convulsive laughter and not an amused grin, should be written with bile and not diluted salt, in a word, it should embrace life in its highest significance Picture Quote #1

People hit the sauce in a big way all winter. Amidst blizzards they wrestle unsuccessfully with the dark comedy of their lives, laughter trapped in their frigid gizzards. Meanwhile, the mercury just plummets, like a migrating duck blasted out of the sky by some hunter in a cap with fur earflaps Picture Quote #1

In my experience, it’s not just that serious books get a hearing on comedy shows. But serious books get a serious hearing, as well as a funny one, on comedy shows Picture Quote #1

Bryzgalov isn’t just a running comedy act. He’s one of the league’s most thoughtful players and the fact that he offers the insight he does in his second language is something he’ll never get enough credit for Picture Quote #1

I think that’s important to women in comedy, that we get a lot of the good lines and you’re not just the girlfriend or the sister Picture Quote #1

Art must always remain earnest... Art must be serious, no sarcasm, comedy. One does not laugh at a loved one Picture Quote #1

One should not associate with controversy; one should always reach for the highest ratings; one should never forget that there is safety in numbers; one should always remember that comedy, adventure, and escapism provide the best atmosphere for selling Picture Quote #1

Comedy and tragedy are two sides of the same coin. A talent in one area might also lead to a predisposition in the other Picture Quote #1

In comedy, beware the split focus. The audience should focus on the face of the actor. The audience must see the setup. If there is action elsewhere on the stage, the comic line can be lost Picture Quote #1

The spectacle of a judge pouring over the picture of some nude, trying to ascertain the extent to which she arouses prurient interests, and then attempting to write an opinion which explains the difference between that nude and some other nude has elements of low comedy Picture Quote #1

I get a lot of dramas, but I’d like to do a romantic comedy type of movie; that’d be a nice step for me. No more screaming or running or shooting... for one movie where I can just be in love with a boy Picture Quote #1

Comedy is the most difficult. Comic timing is something which you either have it in you, or you don’t. You have to have a good sense of humour to be able to understand it. A split second can make you lose the punch Picture Quote #1

Even in comedy it’s important to get your body acquainted with what you’re going to do Picture Quote #1

Merely watching a romantic comedy causes relationship satisfaction to plummet. Apparently, the bitter realization that maybe it could happen to us, but it obviously hasn’t and it probably never will, makes our lives seem unbearably grim in comparison Picture Quote #1
