Comedy Quotes

If you check your ego at the door when it comes to comedy, you’ve got a pretty good shot at making a great movie that you can commit yourself to, you can jump off the proverbial cliff with, and have a great time, and the audiences respond to that Picture Quote #1

My parents both had a great sense of humor, and always laughed a lot. One night, when they were watching ‘Candid Camera,’ I finally understood what comedy was all about. I heard the laughter on television, I turned around and saw my parents laughing, and that’s when I thought: ‘This is great. This is what I can do. I’m gonna prank somebody.’ Picture Quote #1

I always thought the point of life was something richer than that. Something full of great tragedy or comedy, reversal of fortune, ecstasy, that kind of thing. But no, contemporary urban theorists seem satisfied with the merely livable, which always sounds to me like the merely survivable, the not so bad Picture Quote #1

I see myself as a performer and that applies to a Greek drama or a modern comedy Picture Quote #1

I suppose I walk that line between comedy and cruelty because I think one illuminates the other. We’re all cruel, aren’t we? We are all extreme in one way or another at times and that’s what drama, since the Greeks, has dealt with Picture Quote #1

I’ve come to realize that life is not a musical comedy, it’s a Greek tragedy Picture Quote #1

It’s just this little comedy about this group of guys, and their local hangout is a pool hall, and it’s starting to get taken over by this big corporate, evil kind of guy. And it’s just about them trying to save the day and their little pool hall in the process of it all. It’s called ‘Think Tank.’ Picture Quote #1

Especially while television I think is going through some growing pains or is in need of - I think current comedy is a bit, uh, not happening, you know? Picture Quote #1

I had a great time being a salesman because of the pitches that I gave when I was selling shoes. However, I don’t think I’m as well versed in shoes as I am in comedy. Being a salesman was all about being a people person, and I enjoy being around people. I also love talking to people - which is why I think I did so well Picture Quote #1

I recently finished a job, an HBO movie ‘Getting On,’ a very dark comedy. It comes from a British series of the same name. In this role I have no hair, no make up and no nails. I play a very small role; she is not over the top and sassy Picture Quote #1

You know what I would really like to do? I’d like to do a half hour drama with comedy in it Picture Quote #1

I would love to do comedy. I’m actually really animated and goofy. I talk with my hands so intensely Picture Quote #1

Vegas means comedy, tragedy, happiness and sadness all at the same time Picture Quote #1

I think of myself as a writer with a sense of humour rather than a comedy writer. Happy to tell a story with lots of jokes in it - I wouldn’t know how to do jokes without the story Picture Quote #1

Certainly situation comedy is harder than people who are good at it make it look, but it’s fun to do something different Picture Quote #1

I don’t play comedy as comedy. That would be the biggest trap. I think about the characters and their situations. Then you don’t have to worry where the laugh is going to be. But comedy is harder than drama Picture Quote #1

Don’t associate me with comedy. And please don’t say actress. I would never call myself any of those things. I hate it when people call me that Picture Quote #1

When you have a writing partner and you’re writing a comedy, your goal is to make each other laugh Picture Quote #1

Making people laugh is magic. I feel like if you have humility, then you can do anything in comedy Picture Quote #1

I don’t love comedy but I can watch someone who’s kind of interesting forever. I think a waitress who’s having a bad day is a lot more fun than Robin Williams doing forty minutes of material Picture Quote #1

I love Ron Howard, he’s a wonderful director, incredibly prepared. But I have to criticize my performance in that movie. It all took place in one day. My character was having a bad day, so she’s having a bad day throughout the whole movie. But this was a comedy, and I think I was too serious, too dense. Yes, I think that describes my failure there Picture Quote #1

After having edited numerous shorts, earning award nominations for it, and then 4 features edits, the director inside me is now burning to share its voice. Thriller, Horror, zany Comedy Picture Quote #1

I think comedy stems from being honest, often painfully so. I hope I can achieve that perspective in my own life and also have fun Picture Quote #1

I think it helps in any comedy room for a woman to have very strong, respected convictions, because then it opens the door up a little bit for other women to have that Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved pure, silly slapstick comedy. It always makes me laugh Picture Quote #1

In my mind, I’m hilarious, so I would love to do some comedy. But, I’m not exactly sure my perspective is a healthy one Picture Quote #1

I always had a tremendous amount of rage about the business, and I thought turning that into comedy was healthy Picture Quote #1

People think drama drives story, but I think the comedy is really the heart and soul Picture Quote #1

To me the goal of comedy is to just laugh, which is a really high hearted thing, visceral connection and reaction Picture Quote #1

People ask me whether I see ‘Star Wars’ as a comedy or a tragedy, but it’s really neither - it’s partly a history, like ‘Henry V,’ and partly a fantasy, like ‘The Tempest.’ Picture Quote #1
