A comedian's body is funny as well as his mind being funny, his whole personage is funny.
Bobby Darin

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

Being a comedian, people tell me stuff they shouldn't tell their therapist.
Jeff Foxworthy

Chevy Chase and Bill Murray - we thought those guys were funny. We love Bill Murray, but we didn't think they were right for Airplane! because it would step on the joke if there was a known comedian.
David Zucker

Comedians and impressionists used to be two different showbiz animals entirely, but now there's no such thing as a comedian who doesn't do impressions.
John Podhoretz

Dick Gregory was a great comedian who went and got arrested, did hunger strikes, protests. It never hurt his career to be outspoken.
Joe Rogan

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

God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
Voltaire

I didn't plan on being a comedian. I didn't plan on getting married and I didn't plan on having kids, but I did all those things.
Rodney Carrington

I didn't really want to be a comedian.
Allan Carr

I don't make much distinction between being a stand-up comic and acting Shakespeare - in fact, unless you're a good comedian, you're never going to be able to play Hamlet properly.
Ian Mckellen

I guess I still feel that I'm a comedian; if I had to pick one thing that I feel like I could do, it would be that. That doesn't mean that I like it, but I feel that's what I am.
Larry David

I think Flip Wilson is a brillant comedian.
Bobby Darin

I think my speeches are hilarious. I think I'm a natural comedian, but I like denying people the chance to laugh. I want to deny you the relief of the punchline.
Lydia Lunch

I think the more the actor lets you know what he thinks of the character, the less the audience cares - like a comedian who laughs at his own jokes.
Neil LaBute

I think, first of all, you need to love what you're doing, and then this helps in the comedian for its part in everything-but the moment you enjoy what you're doing, you try to express yourself, to find your way, and every time is different, of course.
Cecilia Bartoli

I wanted to do a show based on what my life would be like if I had never become a comedian.
Drew Carey

I wanted to make a living, but I really was not interested in money at all. I was interested in being a great comedian.
Larry David

I was an actor before becoming a comedian.
Shelley Berman

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.
