Comedy Quotes

Girls are supposed to be feminine and demure. Comedy isn’t about that, so you just have to unlearn it. Certain women are so pretty, they can’t go weird enough to be funny. You have to be willing to be ugly. I’m lucky my face can look so hideous Picture Quote #1

Being a comedy writer gives you permission to be an outsider and poke fun at what people think about other people Picture Quote #1

Whether you do stand-up comedy or write a story, you have a duty to deliver. As a comedian, you walk out on stage, and you have a minute to hook them, or they’ll start booing.

I find painting a much slower process than comedy, where you can go a mile a minute verbally and hope to God that some of the people out there understand you. I don’t paint every day. I’m not that motivated Picture Quote #1

God inspired me, because I was blessed with the knowledge that I wanted to do this. And my mother supported it. She said, ‘Whatever it is you want to do. If you believe acting or comedy is what you really want to do, I can only tell you it’s not easy, it’s very hard, but I’ll support you.’ Her supporting me enabled me to move forward Picture Quote #1

God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he’s stuck with so many bad actors who don’t know how to play funny Picture Quote #1

We’re all screwed up. And the way Christians mess things up is we act like we’ve got it going on. And if we would just stay in that place of, ‘Hey, we’re all screwed up and but for the grace of God, none of us have a shot here.’ We need to have a sense of humor about it; that’s kind of the way I’ve always faced my comedy Picture Quote #1

If I ideally can, I’d do a comedy, and then I would do something where I’m a mental patient, and then I’d go back and do a comedy so I can continue to express myself in different ways Picture Quote #1

If I could sew comedy and philosophy together, then I’ve done a good job. The primary goal is always going to be laughs and the secondary goal is always going to be saying something without it being a lecture. I think it’s important to have substance for what you’re saying Picture Quote #1

Some of my fear and anxieties surrounding faith, I think, provides some good comedy for my act Picture Quote #1

I like stand-up. But I’d also like a family and house and a yard. I want to work with a lot of people, have colleagues; and on good film sets, there’s people there that work with the same people for years and years. I love that collaborative spirit in that medium.
