I wasn't a trained actor, I was trained in musical comedy theater, and when you do that, the audience is completely part of the thing. It's like Elizabethan theater. You play the scene, and then you turn - the audience is part of it.
Christopher Walken

Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.
Matthew Lillard

I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don't realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.
Parker Posey

Comedy is a very personal thing, as you would know if you've ever told the same joke to two people and had one of them laugh their head off and the other one look at you as though you were a completely cretin.
Andrew Denton

There's something about Marxism that brings out warts the only kind of growth this economic system encourages.
P. J. O'Rourke

Fate cast me to play the role of an ugly duckling with no promise of swanning. . . . I have played my life as a comedy rather than the tragedy many would have made of it.
Marie Dressler

But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.
Steve Coogan

So are all the kids on the East Coast repeating school next year? Get ready to see a lot of hairy eighth graders. Storm brain drain.
Olivia Wilde

Santino, never let anyone outside the family know what you are thinking. Never let them know what you have under your fingernails. I think your brain is going soft from all that comedy you play with that young girl. Stop it and pay attention to business. Now get out of my sight.
Mario Puzo
Image
Never give a sucker an even break.
W. C. Fields

I'm looking for loopholes. (Said when caught reading the Bible.).
W. C. Fields

Drown in a cold vat of whiskey? Death, where is thy sting?
W. C. Fields

The world is getting to be such a dangerous place, a man is lucky to get out of it alive.
W. C. Fields
Image
When we have lost everything, including hope, life becomes a disgrace, and death a duty.
W. C. Fields
Image
There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation.
W. C. Fields
Image
Ah, the patter of little feet around the house. There's nothing like having a midget for a butler.
W. C. Fields
Image
Comedy is merely tragedy happening to someone else.
W. C. Fields
Image
A wonderful story collection set between one place and another and shaped by a fearless sense of comedy.
W. G. Sebald
Image
Comedy is like expensive cheese. Well, it's like cheese, in general. Everybody likes what they like, and everything they don't like, they think is the worst.
W. Kamau Bell
Image
Disasters are funny to me. As a comedian you learn from failure, so I'm always trying to put myself in a situation that does not seem ideal for my comedy and see how it works.
Anthony Jeselnik
Image
Comedy appeals to the collective mind of the audience and this grows fatigued while farce appeals to a more robust organ, their collective belly.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
'30 Rock' is the holy grail of comedy in my opinion.
Cheyenne Jackson
Image
With a comedy, it's so important to see it with an audience and an audience who really wants to be there and is enthusiastic, otherwise it can be quite a traumatizing experience.
Rose Byrne
Image
Don't associate me with comedy. And please don't say actress. I would never call myself any of those things. I hate it when people call me that.
Amy Sedaris
