Comic Quotes

I’m a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms Picture Quote #1

I think jazz and comic books are probably the two uniquely American art forms Picture Quote #1

Bill Watterson argued with his medium even as he eclipsed it. He was all too aware that no artistic expression better exemplifies our disposable consumer culture than the daily newspaper comic strip: today’s masterpiece is tomorrow’s birdcage lining Picture Quote #1

That’s a comic cover’s job: Attract someone’s attention and persuade them to try the issue out Picture Quote #1

My roles in comedies from ‘Austin Powers’ to ‘Tommy Boy’ to ‘Wayne’s World,’ were sort of comedic ‘straight man’ parts. My character on ‘Parks and Recreation’ is the comic relief in a comedy. To play a character that appears strictly for laughs is sort of new for me and really fun Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you ever outgrow your love for things that are bigger than life and more colorful than the average life. And somehow I feel that these comic book stories are like fairy tales for older people, because they have the same qualities Picture Quote #1

If I were a bad black comic I would name my special, Yo mama, and other stories of a lack of self awareness Picture Quote #1

You gotta understand, there weren’t a whole lot of roles for Hispanics in the Eighties, so comedy was really the way I could really feed myself and eventually feed my family. I was an actor who learned to be a comic, and it’s cool to come back and get back into acting - move forward in the direction I started out to do in the beginning Picture Quote #1

In this day and age, where you have a lot of comic book movies made every day, and most of them are really good boys, it’s important to have a couple bad boys out there, too Picture Quote #1

Bad criticism has followed things like comic books or TV, and they put down a medium. A medium cannot be inherently good or bad Picture Quote #1

There is a scene in one comic from the 60s- 70s where Batman finds a film, a newsreel film, of his father. This newsreel film is from the 50s, and his father has come to this costume ball in a Zorro costume, which strangely enough looks a lot like a Batman suit in the footage Picture Quote #1

I was never a big comic book fan. I was always more into the baseball cards Picture Quote #1

People should really horde their Blu-rays like old comic books and baseball cards. Because they’re really beautiful, and will be worth something if you like movies as I do Picture Quote #1

I didn’t really grow up a comic book fanatic. I was a big baseball player, and my passion in life, in third grade, was collecting baseball cards. That was my childhood thing Picture Quote #1

I used to go to the comic store all the time. I was into comic cards, which are essentially baseball cards for comic book heroes. They have these cool stats on the back. I had collections of these things. I still have a lot of my collection at home Picture Quote #1

Baseball is a universe as large as life itself, and therefore all things in life, whether good or bad, whether tragic or comic, fall within its domain Picture Quote #1

A lot of my comic influences are distinctly American: Woody Allen and Bob Hope, for example. They were always the underdogs who were using wit to sort of battle their way through. And it seems to me that a lot of contemporary U.S. comedies are shot through with losers. None of the characters in ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ for instance, are studs Picture Quote #1

My mother had all these maxims - like, classy girls never chew gum, never read comic books, never get their ears pierced, never get their hair dyed Picture Quote #1

It’s my insecurity that makes me want to be a comic, that makes me need the audience Picture Quote #1

I have the show because I’m insecure. It’s my insecurity that makes me want to be a comic, that makes me need the audience Picture Quote #1

In comedy, it’s not the glamorous, beautiful people that are great at comedy. They’re either every man or every woman, they’re either quite tall and lanky or shorter and fatter or have a big nose. They have something physically about them that makes them into a comic stereotype Picture Quote #1

It meant something to see people who looked like me in comic books. It was this beautiful place that I felt pop culture should look like Picture Quote #1

It feels amazing to just be here and be able to share my jokes with the world. It’s not so much about being a girl, it’s about being a funny comic Picture Quote #1

Being a good husband is like being a good stand-up comic - you need ten years before you can even call yourself a beginner Picture Quote #1

One of the things I think we’re learning to do as the twelfth insight emerges is to be discerning without being judgmental, because condemning someone certainly feels like a comic event that brings other things back on you Picture Quote #1

I’m used to comic books being reimagined, different takes on some of our beloved superheroes Picture Quote #1

I don’t really find things funny unless they’re deeply tragic at the same time. I think if you’re funny just for the sake of being funny, it’s just frivolous nonsense. To me, all the best comic plays have been written about really serious and rather bleak things Picture Quote #1

When I was very young, before I could read, I remember being very interested in comic books Picture Quote #1

One of the great things about being involved with comics is that those people are devoted to their characters, writers and artists. The average comic reader isn’t casual about their habit Picture Quote #1

The good thing about being shy though as a child is that you become very observant because you’re not really actively participating. You’re sitting back watching everyone. I think that’s really helped me as an actress because I’m good at observing people and then copying them for comic effect Picture Quote #1
