Komiker / Comedian Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Komiker / Comedian:

As a comedian, you have everything working against you. Billy Crystal

You know, in Los Angeles, you're constantly in your car, you're sealed up, you're not walking around. Whereas in New York, after a while, all your stuff is kind of public, in one way or the other. I'm not saying either one of those is bad; they're both great for a very specific kind of comedian. And I'm glad that they both exist.

Patton Oswalt

I wasn't planning on being a comedian; I just liked to laugh. Somebody said I should do it and that's how I started.

Jamie Kennedy

If you go down as a comedian's comedian, that's basically meaning other comedians are hopefully feeling that you're doing okay.

Eddie Izzard

I'd never tried as hard with anything as I did with 'The Office,' and it was one of the things I'm proud of. I wasn't trying to be famous or a comedian, but this opportunity came along when I was 38 or 39. It came late, and I couldn't have been prouder of it.

Ricky Gervais

It was football I enjoyed most. When I moved to L.A. to become a stand-up comedian, I thought it might be a good comedy hook to also be the punter for USFL club The L.A. Express, so I started practicing for the tryouts. Luckily, my stand-up took off, and I didn't need to do it.

Kevin Nealon

I never wanted to be a magician. I never wanted to be a comedian. I never wanted to be onstage.

Penn Jillette

I'm a comedian, not a politician.

Adam Carolla

Like with any good art form, if you can entertain people and make them think, it's an honor. It's just an honor to be a comedian.

Bob Saget

I was considered by my peers to be a good comedian. So that's all I ever strived to do was get some recognition from my peers.

Ron White

As a comedian, you have everything working against you.

Billy Crystal

I don't have a fear factor. Well, not much of one. And I'm willing to risk quite a lot - as a comedian, you're always risking a lot. You're risking failure, especially if you're improvising and going on TV shows trying to make comedy out of thin air. That is quite a risky business.

David Walliams

The role of a comedian is to make the audience laugh, at a minimum of once every fifteen seconds.

Lenny Bruce

I was the Head Boy of East High School in 1999. I represent 303 - the area code, not the band - Mile High, until I die. I'm 31, a comedian; I juggle, but I don't glove it. I think waxed mustaches run a very thin line between hipster and 1800s barkeep.

T. J. Miller

I admit I do have some drawbacks and limitations as a candidate. Although I am a professional comedian, some of my critics maintain that this is not enough. I cannot deny that I stand before you untested and inexperienced - I only spent two years in television, never as a romantic lead or a song and dance man.

Pat Paulsen

I just like observing people - it's something I've done ever since I was a kid, and I got really good at it. That's a big part of why I became a comedian. My audience is filled with every kind of person you can imagine, and I love that.

Ellen DeGeneres

I'm always trying to find the next comedian that just gives me something a little funny to combine with all of the depressing news that I'm processing.

Jesse Williams

When I used to watch comedians with my dad, he laid it all out for me. He wanted to be a comedian himself, and he was so funny. We'd watch stand-up on TV, and he'd tell me the subtext of what they were saying.

Roseanne Barr

We are living in the machine age. For the first time in history the comedian has been compelled to supply himself with jokes and comedy material to compete with the machine. Whether he knows it or not, the comedian is on a treadmill to oblivion.

Fred Allen

I studied acting at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh because I figured a good comedian certainly could act.

Albert Brooks

I always wanted to be a comedian but never thought I'd be a musical comedian.

Bo Burnham

In a more intellectually rigorous age, I wouldn't be talked about as a satirist at all. I would just be a topical comedian.

Rory Bremner

I didn't tell any of my friends that I wanted to be a comedian, because I was superstitious. I thought if I told people, it wouldn't happen. So I kept it all in my head for years and years.

Steven Wright

I was a big Jay Leno fan, so I was sorry to see him go. But my number one person that I watch, she's not late night, but in terms of the comedian genre, is Ellen DeGeneres - love her.

Megyn Kelly

The idea of a Japanese comedian was not only a rarity, it was non-existent.

Pat Morita

I don't consider myself an Iranian comedian; I consider myself a comedian who happens to be of Iranian descent.

Maz Jobrani

As much experience, education and awareness as one can attain is important for a comedian.

Shelley Berman

The comedian can put the punchline out there, but it's the audience that receives it - and has to get it.

Rachel Sklar

'The Walking Dead' was my favorite show before I even auditioned for it. That's every actor's dream, to be on a show that they're a fan of. It's just dark, and as a comedian, I'm drawn to dark things.

Josh McDermitt

To be honest with you, when I got into this I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

Adam Sandler

I'm a comedian in real life. I always goof around; I'm out-going; and I talk with everybody, especially through Twitter these days!

Sean Berdy

Dick Van Dyke was my first idol. He's an amazing physical comedian, like a classic clown, but also very smart and not afraid to show vulnerability.

Douglas Wood

I really loved what I was doing being creative and being funny as a stand-up comedian.

Chris Tucker

People don't realize it's not just about being funny, and they don't know how perceptive a comedian needs to be about human nature. You have to really be able to read a situation and peoples' emotions.

Erik Griffin

I think Eddie Murphy is the greatest comedian. I do think that Richard Pryor is the Godfather, but Eddie Murphy, in my opinion, has every comedic category in his arsenal. He can roast you. He can freestyle. He can host. He was LeBron James before we even saw LeBron James.

Lil Rel Howery

I'm quietly becoming New York's premiere actor. People don't understand. They have me pigeon-holed as a comedian.

Colin Quinn

I never predicted that I'd be a comedian, but it was something that came so naturally to me. I just felt good doing it.

Omar Sy
