Humour Quotes

It turns out that understanding the British public is not rocket science. The British appreciate honesty and they also have a bonkers, off-the-wall sense of humour like me 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

Not all journalists are really journalists. They ask such stupid questions sometimes, especially the newer ones, and because... these people can’t tell if you’re joking around, you just can’t have any sense of humour; you really can’t Picture Quote #1

Some designers retain a sense of humour about what they do, but others are deathly serious and have no life outside of it; they’re lying awake night after night constructing dresses in their heads Picture Quote #1

I don’t mock things, which makes me more vulnerable to mockery myself. If you’re cynical, you’re protected from mockery. But I have to be nice. I don’t think I have irony. A sense of humour, yes, but not irony Picture Quote #1

While the eyes of the world will be on us let’s show everyone that we have a great sense of humour Picture Quote #1

The interesting thing is that you don’t often meet a poet who doesn’t have a sense of humour, and some of them do keep it out of their poems because they’re afraid of being seen as light versifiers Picture Quote #1

I’d always used humour as a weapon, as a protection. But being able to make people laugh is a way of not getting in too deep; it’s a quick, transient fix Picture Quote #1

Everything serious in the world is well approached by humour. It’s a powerful and often quite subversive tool. I suppose there is an argument that could be made against me for being frivolous, but I do think a laugh is a very generous thing to give Picture Quote #1

I understand that being able to appeal to the public and having an amazing sense of humour is not something that comes easy. It’s definitely a gift and for which I’m thankful Picture Quote #1

Australians have a fantastic sense of humour and incredible taste. I was there for ‘Bend It Like Beckham,’ and I had a great time. Aussies loved it, and I think ‘Bride and Prejudice’ is going to do well, too, because it’s all about having a good time Picture Quote #1

For the purposes of life and conduct, and society, a little good sense is surely better than all this genius, and a little good humour than this extreme sensibility Picture Quote #1

I know some children’s writers write for specific children, or for the children they once were, but I never have. I just thought children might like my sort of visual humour Picture Quote #1

My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven’t got that, it’s very sad Picture Quote #1

I tend to work on the principle that much humour relies on cognitive dissonance - on the foreground not matching the background, on the protagonist’s response to a situation being inappropriate, and so on Picture Quote #1

Humour is the best weapon to fight any battle. But there is a thin line between humour and humiliation and beware not to cross it Picture Quote #1

British humour is very cruel. It’s my favourite kind of humour; if it isn’t cruel and funny it doesn’t really cut the cake for me Picture Quote #1

I enjoy humour more than anything, I don’t really sit around banging my head and crying all the time Picture Quote #1

I think ‘Bridesmaids’ has changed things socially and culturally. Before, it was really difficult for women to do scatological humour without seeming gross Picture Quote #1

Mixing humour and harsh reality is a very human behaviour, it’s the way people stay sane in their daily lives Picture Quote #1

Whenever dark things happen in my life, there is always some dark humour Picture Quote #1

My favourite writer is Beckett and I keep going back to wallow in his work like a deep pool of dark humour or like an oxygen tank when you can’t breath in a world consumed by piety, hypocrisy and self-satisfaction Picture Quote #1

England and Denmark have a sense of irony and a darker sense of humour that you don’t necessarily find in Germany and Sweden Picture Quote #1

There’s so much light in Broughty Ferry. I think the humour in Glasgow is darker, because it’s much more gloomy, there’s a perpetual misery there Picture Quote #1

I still see the world as a place of bitter irony and black humour, failed hopes, dashed plans. I hope to make my work sparer, to outgrow my desire to show off Picture Quote #1

I remember just sitting down one day and going, ‘I should have friends.’ And then I developed a sense of humour. By the end of high school, I would say I was the most popular girl Picture Quote #1

I think that gay people in some ways end up forming a very different sense of humour to straight people. We all go through similar things and it’s a way of dealing with it Picture Quote #1

[Dean Martin ] had this really wonderful rich, authentic, distinct vocal style. His humour in movies [and] the self-deprecation and the coolness he had could overshadow what a marvellous vocalist in the Great American Songbook he is Picture Quote #1

Prudent people are very happy; ‘tis an exceeding fine thing, that’s certain, but I was born without it, and shall retain to my day of Death the Humour of saying what I think Picture Quote #1

Father’s ideals became part of me and still are today. His reserve, deeply rooted liberal views, his provocative humour, his passion for work and love of risk are also mine Picture Quote #1
