Comedy Quotes

It’s funny: All my friends back home are always wondering why every television show I’m on is a drama, but all the comedy pilots I did died a slow and painful death Picture Quote #1

I can’t do comedy that is cutting and vicious. If I knew I’d said something that was going to make someone feel bad, well, that supersedes everything Picture Quote #1

I love comedy. Playing the underdog, and getting the laughs is my form of entertainment. I could think of nothing different that I would want to be doing at this time in my life Picture Quote #1

I’m just an actor. If it’s drama, I add as much humour as the part will stand. And if it’s a comedy, add as much drama as you can, so it balances out; you don’t wanna be too serious Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do a comedy. I’m terrified of comedy. I don’t think I’m funny, but I guess that’s why it’s so thrilling Picture Quote #1

I think it’s actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian Picture Quote #1

That’s what I love about sketch comedy: a sketch is five minutes, then it goes dark, and there’s the potential for something else Picture Quote #1

I don’t think comedy is something you learn. I think it’s something that’s either there or it’s not Picture Quote #1

I guess I’m sort of spoiled because, most of the things that I get to do, people know that you’re a good improviser, so they allow you at least one improv take, and for comedy, that’s great Picture Quote #1

I never consciously got into comedy. It was sort of one of those things where I was a theater student, I was acting, I was doing comedy, I was doing dramatic stuff, so it’s been something that I’ve always done and enjoyed doing and had an instinct to be relatively good at Picture Quote #1

I am so happy that I married a comedy writer. He’s never not without a joke. No matter where we are Picture Quote #1

I don’t understand why people think it’s harder to do drama than it is to do comedy Picture Quote #1

The success of my comedy has been not being afraid to touch on subject matters or issues that everyone else is politically scared of Picture Quote #1

It’s safe to say I’m a comedy nerd. I listen to so many podcasts. I just love to laugh Picture Quote #1

Running my show is really like an actor being in repertory but where, in one day in one performance, you do scenes from a drama, a farce, a low comedy and a tragedy Picture Quote #1

If you feel irritated by the absurd remarks of two people whose conversation you happen to overhear, you should imagine that you are listening to a dialogue of two fools in a comedy Picture Quote #1

Nobody wants to see sketch comedy that’s the same sketch they’ve seen time and time again, or that’s just a rehash of that thing Picture Quote #1

I never like to be the same, whether it be comedy or drama, funny or serious Picture Quote #1

I can’t pretend that I’m a great student of the art of comedy because anybody that becomes philosophical about humour doesn’t know what he’s talking about Picture Quote #1

I like to approach comedy from character, to have the stakes for the individuals in the story be very high Picture Quote #1

I think that having comedy where people talk the way they really talk, when you talk with your friends and whatever, it’s really, it’s important. Or else you’re making stuff that’s a little bit watered down and irrelevant Picture Quote #1

Dramas need to have a certain aesthetic that comedy just doesn’t really seem to need to have Picture Quote #1

It just so happens that people aren’t doing comedy about abortion or cannibalism or waterboarding. And that to me doesn’t necessarily mean that there aren’t aspects of those subjects that are funny, it just means that people are too uptight Picture Quote #1

I want to entertain people, whether it be with a comedy, a drama or a movie. An idea’s an idea Picture Quote #1

I like to invest as a performer in the director’s vision and then bring a sense of reality to whatever I’m doing, whether it’s comedy or whether it’s drama, and trust that they’re going to tell me if something’s reading as funny or if it’s reading as dramatic or reading in the right tone Picture Quote #1

To do a comedy team, it requires so much extracurricular stuff, so much compromise, so much intuitiveness to know what the other guy is doing. That’s why it’s so hard to do it Picture Quote #1

Dogs have fleas; people have each other. We are born to die. Life is a continuing tragic comedy. Everything and everyone we love suffers. Anybody who doesn’t see that has not grown up and known life Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, songs spill out of you very fast, and sometimes you have to wrangle them to the floor. But the same thing is true of comedy, where sometimes it really flows Picture Quote #1

I think in most cases, if you’re with good people, comedy creation happens faster in collaboration. That’s how I can tell if it’s a good collaboration: If it’s faster than me by myself, then it works. If it’s slower than me by myself, then I get out of the room Picture Quote #1

There was something about that form of comedy that’s just difficult. It never really felt like you could just fully commit to all the colors that you carry with you Picture Quote #1
