Comedy Quotes

I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It’s how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy Picture Quote #1

Comedy is similar to hockey... in only one way. You get a lot of credit for assists. So I try to serve whatever the intention is, be it the joke or the story or the scene or the moment or the kiss, even if it’s not my joke or moment Picture Quote #1

No comedy should be longer than 90 minutes. There’s no such thing as a good long joke Picture Quote #1

The dueling maturity levels in high school is such a source of comedy to me. I was always such a late developer. I was last to walk. I was last to ride a bike. I was last to have sex. That’s why it’s fun to portray one side of your childhood onscreen Picture Quote #1

I was a product of a divorced family and I used humor as a weapon to combat sadness. I used comedy to make my mother laugh in light of the darkness that she faced, and to me it became a very powerful tool at a very young age, at six. I saw how therapeutic it could be Picture Quote #1

I think comedy does have that powerful thing that doesn’t seem too preachy because you’re also making people laugh, so it’s really kind of a good tool for messaging Picture Quote #1

Comedy has to do with holding and releasing tension; it’s very technical. It’s more technical than drama Picture Quote #1

I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting Picture Quote #1

There are lots of actors, and you need a way to stand out. Writing comedy sketches was a way of doing that Picture Quote #1

I think everyone’s different but in comedy, I try to do my scene to make the director and the other actors laugh. If I can make them laugh and we have the same sensibility, then I’m on the right page Picture Quote #1

I think my goal was just to do comedy, honestly. It still is. Whatever form that took or takes, it doesn’t matter Picture Quote #1

My thinking is, if we’re setting out to make comedy in which nothing is off limits, then everybody is fair game Picture Quote #1

A comedian is sort of like a wild animal. It really just depends on where you catch them. Sometimes they want to cuddle up, and sometimes they’ll snap at you. But for me, more often than not, if I’m talking to somebody who makes their living in comedy, it’ll be a very thoughtful conversation driven from an emotionally honest place Picture Quote #1

In general in comedy, there are fewer people making a ton of money and a lot more people making a living. For me, the goal is just being able to make exactly the show I wanted to make Picture Quote #1

Whether it’s corporate investigations or comedy, there are certain inherent truths to trying to get what you want while trying to be a decent person doing it Picture Quote #1

I’ve done comedy, and I’ve done drama. I’ve sort of been a journeyman in my career so far Picture Quote #1

At one point, I was in a place where it didn’t feel like it was going to happen, and I was feeling pretty down on myself. But I stuck to it, and now I have a hit comedy on my hands. You’ve got to keep plugging away at it. If you really believe in yourself, you can definitely make it happen Picture Quote #1

You know, I’ve just always been sort of goofy and kind of gone with it. I actually usually work more in drama, but I have been floating back and forth with comedy, and somehow they keep giving me jobs in comedy, so I guess there’s something funny about me Picture Quote #1

Comedy is not commercial; it is risky, because what is funny in one place isn’t always funny somewhere else Picture Quote #1

For me comedy and violence has a lot in common. Just as you expect, comedy always lurks behind the most unexpected of circumstances Picture Quote #1

I do all these various activities like painting and writing, comedy and films probably because not that I’m good at everything but because I’m not good at any of these things Picture Quote #1

Growing up, a film was an action film or it was a comedy or it was romantic, but you don’t really see such stark lines between genres nowadays Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up in comedy, there were maybe 10 comics in the whole country. Everyone had a day job. You worked free for years in little clubs, then you got your big break and became a star Picture Quote #1

There’s nothing like the energy in a small comedy club room or a small theater when it’s going really well. I can see everybody’s face practically in the whole room. There’s no cameras in the way, and it’s just me Picture Quote #1

A lot of people think I’m difficult to work with. It’s not like I really want to do that much stuff, so it doesn’t really matter. I guess I’m somewhat difficult when it comes to comedy Picture Quote #1

Comedy arises out of necessity, because some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it Picture Quote #1

I really think if you take away a character’s obstacles then there’s no comedy Picture Quote #1

My wife happens to be probably the greatest working woman in comedy. I can’t think of anyone who even approaches her achievements and her abilities Picture Quote #1

I think it’s harder to go from comedy to drama than from drama to comedy. Seeing you dramatic all the time, they crave to see you being silly or funny. But, seeing you in comedy all the time, it’s hard to see that person go be serious, for some reason Picture Quote #1

I would love to do comedy. I think I’m funny and that comedy is my strong suit, at least in real life. I have yet to prove myself in the movies, but I’d love to get the opportunity to do that Picture Quote #1
