Zitat des Tages über Einzeiler / One-Liners:
It never felt real to me. I never felt I had complete ownership over Bond. Because you'd have these stupid one-liners - which I loathed - and I always felt phony doing them.
President Reagan's one-liners were terrific.
I did a play called 'On Golden Pond' in a dinner theater in Maine and then went to New York for a talent competition having put together a three-man juggling routine and some one-liners and I got myself an agent from that.
I'm not too keen on jokes that are one-liners. I want the situation to be funny.
I became a specialist at comedic one-liners.
I can't just say the words, do a lot of one-liners. I love each person I play; I have to be that person. I have to do him true.

My career will come full cycle one day when I play the father of a cute little kid missing teeth who spouts one-liners.
Comedy ages quicker than tragedy, to the extent that we can't know if the 10 commandments may originally have been 10 hilarious one-liners.
I'm the ultimate studier of comedy. I grew up in a very funny household. My dad is the king of one-liners; my brothers are great at telling stories, and my mom is funny without knowing it.

High-concept one-liners were huge when I got my start in the film industry.
I'm slightly obsessed with drag queens and performers. Their quips and their one-liners, their style, their singing... I find it fascinating. And thoroughly entertaining. I'd love to play one.
One of the attractions of translating 'Heroes' is that it's not the kind of play that I write. If it had been, I probably wouldn't have wanted to translate it. There are no one-liners. It's much more a truthful comedy than a play of dazzling wit.
