Funny Quotes
There were many tough guys to play in the scripts that Warner kept assigning me. Each of my subsequent roles in the hoodlum genre offered the opportunity to inject something new, which I always tired to do. One could be funny, and the next one flat. Some roles were mean, and others were meaner.
– James Cagney
It's kind of weird because in the pictures and stuff they fill in some stuff that they don't like, like your teeth. It's funny when you first see the poster and you want to pick out the stuff that's different, but you get used to it after a while. It's just, oh, that's me! It's kind of cool after a while.
– Anna Chlumsky
Susan Sontag said something really funny... she said to find out that all her art heroes cheated and used aids, lenses and things like that, is like finding out all the great lovers in history used Viagra. And you know that doesn't bother me. I don't care what they used to make whatever they wanted to make.

Seems like I've been here before, can't remember whenI get this funny feeling, we'll be together again;No straight lines make up my life, all my roads have bends;No clearcut beginnings; so far, no dead ends.

You figure they cheat at the ballpark, they'll cheat on the golf course, they'll cheat in business, and anything else in life. Players may laugh about it and say it's funny, but right down in their heart, they don't think it's funny at all, and they have no respect for a person who cheats.

I'd love to become like Bill Murray, who was so funny on Saturday Night Live and has gone on to do some of the landmark comedies people like. And then to add this whole other phase to his career with Lost in Translation and Rushmore. I always felt to be able to have something similar to that would be great.
– Will Ferrell
– William Friedkin
For comedy to be good, it has to be played straight. And again, the greatest example of this is Lucy Ball. No matter how wild the shows were that we did, no matter how bizarre the situations were, they were never played as if they were funny. They were played like serious incidents of ordinary everyday life. And that's why they are terribly funny and are still considered classic comedies.
– Gale Gordon
Benny Hill's character is this twisted sexual deviant who professes his love for obese women, which I thought was so funny. There was nothing like that in this movie, so I thought it would be fun to play my character as someone who had no social graces, yet was embittered by the fact he was universally refused by women.

It's sad and upsetting when you see somebody crying hysterically, but at the same time it's real funny.

I read a lot. And both of my parents, I think, would have wanted to be writers. It's funny how one ends up doing the things that-that parents-perhaps, the dreams that parents couldn't fulfill. I know that my mother would have been beyond herself to have had a story published in The New Yorker.
– Alma Guillermoprieto
They were not merely quipsters and storytellers, nor were they only song and dance entertainers. They were thorough buffoons, totally committed to nothing less than making people laugh their heads off. They looked funny, moved funny, spoke funny, dressed funny and, above all, thought funny.
– Stanley Green
If you really look at humor, that's what most of it is anyway. Somebody wisecracking at somebody else. Putting them down. If you look at all the sitcoms, that's all sitcoms are today. Things never change. Sardonic, sarcastic humor is always prevalent. It's hard to do something funny without being that way. It's classier if you didn't have to resort to it, I think.
– Johnny Hart
One of the things that I always sort of pride myself on - although we're not supposed to have pride... is that my sense of humor, if anything, was well-rounded, and you know how I discovered that? It's because everything funny that ever happened to me, or everything that happened to me, made me laugh. If I fell down the stairs I'd lay there and laugh.
– Johnny Hart
I don't see myself as an international megastar. I still put the rubbish out late at night-sometimes in only my underpants. Mind you, nowadays I have a good look around to make sure there is no one there. I just think this whole star thing is a gas and I think the neighbors think it's pretty funny as well. We've got some great neighbors.
– Damon Hill

My father was extremely loving to me and funny and wise and understanding, and at other times extremely demanding, critical, calculating, exacting. When you're a young woman, I think you want to please a lot, so maybe you accept more of the criticism than you would as an older person. But criticism can be very wounding. It certainly was to me.
– Anjelica Huston
I mean the Americans in a funny way see themselves as an ongoing chosen race - it was the Jews and now it's the great American dream.

I haven't seen it, but I know that [writer] Adam Herz jammed a lot of stuff into that script. I told him when I read it, 'Man, this is comedically relentless. These... raunchy's not the word, but it's close... scenarios that he comes up with, he just keeps coming up with them, and they're really funny, put in the right context. Incredibly funny.
– Eugene Levy
I mean, Jim's Dad is the character - you're not just laughing at what he's saying, you're laughing at who he is... On SCTV , we used to say, 'If somebody were to look at these scripts, they would wonder, who's investing money in putting this on?' Because you can't find a joke, you can't find, honestly, a funny line.
– Eugene Levy
So, listen, different strokes for different folks, some people just like the joke, some people like to hear the funny line. The joke is the thing, and it works for them. Airplane!, the Zucker brothers, they perfected that art form - just an hour and a half of great, funny jokes. Fabulous!
– Eugene Levy
I'm investing in a company that has patented wallet technology that will deodorize currency. That way people won't have to deal with money that smells funny.

Losing streaks are funny. If you lose at the beginning you got off to a bad start. If you lose in the middle of the season, you're in a slump. If you lose at the end, you're choking.

I consider myself very lucky. God has a funny way of bringing some things around and knocking you in the head with the ultimate destination. Something I should have achieved quite easily took me a long time to get around to. It came in His time, not mine.

I really don't care about the response to my hair... this is just how my hair is. I don't take care of it, or comb it, or put anything in it, or style it or anything. When people comment on it, it is funny to me that it draws such attention. It makes me realize how insignificant that sort of thing is.
– Steve Nash

I spent one morning at breakfast with Neil on Bleeker Street in New York City, and when we were finished I was completely sold on Neil joining. He was incredibly funny and very committed to music. He wanted to be a full member of the band with equal billing etc. This made sense to me and so we became CSNY.
– Graham Nash
It's funny because people think we all know each other and hang out together, and that we all grew up together. Some of us obviously do know each other, and we're obviously very aware of each other. What's he doing now? Right. I see. Why didn't I get offered that? I see. But, I live in Melbourne and most of those guys are from Sydney. There's a much more high energy, actory clique going on in Sydney than there is in Melbourne.

I realized by the time I turned 30, which happened this year, that I would be going out with girls and they would think I was really funny, but I would know absolutely nothing about them. I decided that's just not the way to go. I have tried to listen more and get to know the person I'm with.
– Matthew Perry
My kids are so much more together than I ever was. They're my baby-sitters! It's funny having kids when you're young, because you grow up with them. There's something to be said for having them when you're young, and then having them again when you're 35 or 40 and have been through it all. I want to have one or two more.
– Lisa Marie Presley
And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!
– Will Rogers
And as I looked up, I was gazing on a hill, and in my spine I felt an icy, icy chill. And as I looked upon him, my heart was filled with fear. I was looking at a man sporting a funny crown, three nails, and a spear.

I saw the movie and I remember her, but we weren't friends. Since the first day that we got together we were such good friends. It was funny because sometimes the director, Linda [Mendoza], would have to stop and like stop the gossip, because when you are doing a movie you have to wait a lot until they were ready. But they have you right there in front of the camera doing nothing, so you start to talk. Then they call action and we were still talking.
