Paul Feig

Love, Funny, Someone

Grace Slick

Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny, but working with him, I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre, he could be a very funny man to work with, always telling jokes and holding court. Of course, when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.
Tippi Hedren

Funny, Work, Him

Joel Coen

Fun, Character, Characters

Andrew Motion

Beautiful, Person, Her

Past, Put, Museum

Clifford Geertz

Someone, Done, Put

Film sets are constantly amusing because you really are creating something that is so very surreal, and I kind of like that.
Hugo Weaving

Film, Creating, Surreal

Life's more amusing than we thought.
Andrew Lang

Paul Lucas had a particularly amusing accent, so I chuckled. That was terrible; I shouldn't have done that, but he took it too big. He got up and said he couldn't work with people who laughed at him!
Fay Wray

Work, Done, Him

Yahoo Serious

Movies, Difficult, Often

Nana Mouskouri

Husband, Important, Friends

St. Michaels Mount is a favourite place of mine; people will walk across to the Mount all day and assume they will be able to walk home. The spectacle of hundreds of people realising that the path they walked over on is disappearing under several feet of water is very amusing.
John Dyer

Home, Path, Place

There are things you do when you're writing that are so fun to do it's almost like they're private jokes that are amusing to you but no one else is going to enjoy them nearly as much and you worry you're going to have to take them out in the end.
Chad Harbach

Fun, End, Writing

Persis Khambatta

Mark-Paul Gosselaar

Find, Die, Pretty

Churchill was one of the few men I have met who even in the flesh give me the impression of genius. George Bernard Shaw is another. It is amusing to know that each thinks the other is overrated.
David Low

Men, Give, Another

I always try to keep in mind that while the characters in a farce may find themselves in outrageous dilemmas, and may behave in a way that the audience finds amusing, the characters themselves don't have the consolation of knowing they're in a comedy.
Rupert Holmes

Mind, May, Find

I'd worked at a small town newspaper, and I was thinking of all the strange stories that I had seen float through the newsroom in my time there that were dismissed as kind of amusing curiosities. Somehow from that I got to this idea of an eccentric alcoholic who built a lighthouse in the woods.
Michael Koryta

Time, Thinking, Through

There are few things more amusing in the world of politics than watching moderate Republicans charging to the right in pursuit of greater glory.
Mario Cuomo

Politics, Few, Greater

As an actor you get categorized by other people, but it's not like I arrange myself into comedy mode or serious mode. If it's good writing you just have to play it true - if it's funny, it's funny. But obviously you don't want it to be amusing if you're playing Hedda Gabler!
Sophie Thompson

Funny, Good, True

Logan Pearsall Smith

Friends, Find, Forgive

Thomas Kretschmann

Life, Why, Found

John Forsythe

Age, Sex, Become
