One of my biggest pet peeves is that I just don’t like it when characters do things that are funny to the writer, but you don’t know why they’re doing it and it doesn’t make any sense.
I don’t think films about working class people are sad at all; I think they’re funny and lively and invigorating and warm and generous and full of good things.
The shooting of the guns, that was kind of funny, because rolling a cigarette and shooting a gun aren’t like normal things for a 13-year old girl!
Our pious horror at the intolerant and repressive behaviour of Islamic State is bitterly funny, given that it is really not that different from the policies of our close ally, Saudi Arabia.
Imagination is a funny thing – we sometimes need to see something before we can truly picture it.
When I was in improv workshops or doing stand-up or writing comedy with others, or just doing comedy, I just laughed. Funny was funny; I loved to laugh. I always liked people I found generally funny.
I think it’s important to find humor anywhere you can. In real life, with the darkest, scariest, most intense moments, if you can find something funny, that’s good.
It was funny to run into girls I knew after the movie came out because they would say, ‘I saw you on ’Magic Mike,’ but there was this look of embarrassment. It was very cute.
I thought, ‘Anyone can make up a lie, but making the truth funny is really hard.’ But I actually had more problems with people believing me when I told the truth on stage.
There are tons of actors and actresses I admire. But I really admire Jennifer Lawrence because she has won awards and made so many great movies, and she still seems so down-to-earth and funny.
It’s funny, the moment you dread the most, seeing yourself bald, is actually not such a bad moment at all.
I’ve experienced plenty of times when something I think is funny doesn’t do very well. And there are times when something I don’t think is funny makes the audience laugh so hard.
I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.
Do you want me to apologize after every joke? If it doesn’t offend somebody it’s probably not a joke. It’s probably an observation that’s not funny. It’s gotta offend somebody somewhere.
Posturing is funny to me.
It’s funny because I’ve made a living off of words, but words get in the way of what you really want to say.
I went through a phase where I thought it was really funny to make pratfalls in very crowded places. I jumped out of a moving car once, for a laugh. That was a mistake.
It’s funny, when you have a theme so particular to cows – or it could be anything like hair or nails – when you’re rapping about a specific thing, you can have more punchlines about it.
Funny songs aren’t usually that good. Like Weird Al and maybe a couple of Beatles songs, but it’s kind of hard to bring humor into rock music in an interesting way.
In a funny way, nothing makes you feel more like a native of your own country than to live where nearly everyone is not.
