Petina Gappah Zitate

I always say to people that Zimbabweans are the funniest people in Africa; we even laugh at funerals. And it's true. I mean, there are so many jokes about funerals. There are so many jokes about AIDS. We find ways of coping with pain by laughing at it and by laughing at ourselves.

Ich sage den Menschen immer, dass Simbabwer die lustigsten Menschen in Afrika sind; Wir lachen sogar über Begräbnisse. Und es ist wahr. Ich meine, es gibt so viele Witze über Begräbnisse. Es gibt so viele Witze über AIDS. Wir finden Wege, wie wir mit Schmerzen umgehen können, indem wir darüber lachen und über uns selbst lachen.

The most comical thing for me, even when I watch movies, is the guy who's so crazy confident about himself, with the mink jacket - to me, that is so funny. I wish I could be like that. As a fighter, I wish I could do that, so I could make people laugh. But I can't; it's not my style.

Eddie Alvarez

People always mention that they'd love to see me in a comedy again. Maybe it's time - laughter being the best medicine.

Thomas Gibson

A friend once asked me what comedy was. That floored me. What is comedy? I don't know. Does anybody? Can you define it? All I know is that I learned how to get laughs, and that's all I know about it. You have to learn what people will laugh at, then proceed accordingly.

Stan Laurel

I'm happy about working; I'm happy about gracing the stage and coming out and making people laugh. I never treat it like a job or feel that way. It's the best thing ever to me, and I feel like a kid in a candy store.

Kevin Hart

People go into a gallery, and they're afraid to express their opinions about art. No one's afraid to say, 'Keanu Reeves was bad in that movie.' We see so many films that we can tell who's faking it. But with art, we can't always tell.

William Quigley

It's almost like he's started to sound even more exotic the more people started doing him. I don't know why, but there's just something about Al Gore that makes me laugh.

Dana Carvey

My dad passed when I was 6. I found out when I was about 21 that my dad always said acting would be the making of me. Where he got that from, I have no idea.

Malachi Kirby

I've always enjoyed making people laugh. But in order for me to be funny, I have to get ticked off about something.

Carl Hiaasen

Black English is simpler than standard English in some ways; for example, it often gets by with just 'be' and drops 'am,' 'is,' and 'are.' That's because black English arose when adult African slaves learned the language.
