The funny thing about me that most people never really understand is that, at heart, I'm really a jock.
When somebody listens and laughs, you're always in better shape than when you're with those folks who just kind of look at you when you say something funny. You wonder if they're looking at you because they're mad that they didn't say it or something. It's hard to handle that.
So that's why one of my rules of parody writing is that it's gotta be funny regardless of whether you know the source material. It has to work on its own merit.
It's funny the way life works. Sometimes you go around in a weird path to find out exactly what it is that you love to do, and I'm happy that I've sort of discovered something that makes me really happy.
Movies require a lot of patience. I like instant results. If I have done something that's not funny at all, the audience will let me know in two seconds. With the movie, I will have to wait nine months to know if I was that bad.
In a man, I like funny guys. A guy who doesn't have a lot of therapy, who's mature. A man, not a boy.
I'm a terrific mimic, and you can feel my funny bone.
All you can do is really the prep work and make sure you're ready to hit each golf shot. Outside of that, you're not sure really what's going to happen. It's a funny game, but I think that's why I love it. You never know, one day to the next; you could go shoot 62, and the next day you're going to shoot 78, and you can't predict it.
Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down. It's all funny. Next. Everyone gets so upset about the wrong things.
I don't see a lot of narratives written where a woman who looks like me gets to be beautiful and sexualized and upwardly mobile, middle-class, funny, quirky. They're very seldom written.
I love being funny! I started in the theater when I was 9 and, believe it or not, always played the funny part!
Prince Charles is so funny. So, so funny.
I think we're all good and bad, but good's not funny. Bad is funny. Suppress the good and let the bad out, and then you can be funny.
I'm a funny guy. You've got to be able to make fun of yourself. We only live once.
I was flying with my brother, and he challenged me to work out on the airplane. He thought it was funny - and I did it!
'The Descendants' somehow made death and adultery funny at times.
As a five-year-old in Berlin in 1965, I didn't know that funny women existed. It wasn't until I got back to England that I realised women could be funny.
Banjos are funny instruments. They can get pretty irritating.
I'm not a fussy eater, but when I'm travelling, I try to stick to the same regime and just have my chicken and my mash and broccoli. Otherwise, you start eating all these funny delicacies, and it makes your tummy turn upside down.
I'm not filthy rich! I'm not as rich as people think. It's funny, isn't it?
I don't get a chance to be funny with the thrillers. I like to be funny, and I think I am really funny. So with 'Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life', it was fun to let loose.
Tabloid discussion of bad children always blames baby-boomer liberals, careerist mothers and fashion-crazed Nathan Barley types who think it's all enormously funny. But the centre-leftish psycho-thinker Oliver James says it's all down to the Thatcher-and-after culture of turbo-capitalism, making people acquisitive and unsatisfied.
I prefer to tell stories. If it's funny, then I want to do it on stage.
I do come across people who don't like me, don't like my comedy, don't think it's funny, it's too cutesy, or whatever they hate. And it's like, 'Okay. That's your opinion. Somebody liked it, so that's good.' Hopefully it balances out.
When people are committed to things, and the world view they have is no longer in alignment with our world view, then it becomes funny.
I like Ben Stein. I think he's funny, creative, and an insightful commentator on a host of issues.
I meditate and I also think about meditation. Which is funny. I think about Maharishi, about just the idea of meditating. It gives me something.
Whenever I'm in the U.K., people say I have an American accent. Which is, obviously, funny.
I think I've got a funny face.
When you write something you know, you're making a story that will work, whether or not there's bits taken. It's always funny to me when people say, 'Well, it's clearly autobiographical,' and I say, 'Well, how do you know my autobiography?' Certainly, there are things that are connected, but I just think it's a very interesting assumption.
Kevin Hart. He's the man! I like his style. He's short, so I can relate. All the stories he tells are real. I respect that, and he's just a really funny dude - great comedy instincts. To do stand-up on a stage for an hour and tell stories and make people laugh is incredible.
There is something about sex that always brings out the funny in me. I think it's because we make such fools of ourselves over it.
I want to be part of movies that have important and interesting subjects but are not depressing and are rather satirical and funny.
How can you analyse what is funny? What's funny to one isn't funny to another... What's funny to you is a personal thing.
I feel like any time John Oliver is added to something, the comedy is instantly there. He's so funny.
Johnny Knoxville has such an incredible humanity to him when you meet him. He's so warm and so funny, and he can sort of get into trouble and you sort of forgive him immediately.
