There was really a snobbery from people in film - they did not want people who had come from television. It was the poor relation of show business, and especially situation comedy.
Sally Field

Comedy and drama are both challenging to me.
Nicholas Lea

Apparently nobody really read it, it was a cheap movie, it fit their schedule in terms of things so fine, let the guy make that high school comedy. I used to work with Mel Brooks so they figured oh it's going to be one of those really silly movies and that's how it got made.
Barry Levinson

Partly because the town is just finicky, there are strange Catch 22 clauses in the consciousness of this community and one of them was that you, I found out, you can't do a comedy unless you've just done a comedy.
Val Kilmer

I thought people would ask me really personal questions because I've shown more of myself, but it's a comedy, and people understand that it's a game we play.
Charlotte Gainsbourg

I got involved in improv comedy. It settled me down when I was getting wild. I was sort of an evil teenager smashing up my cars and drinking and driving, let's just say, a lot.
Bruce McCulloch

It proved to me, though, that comedy is so much harder.
Jenna Elfman

I love a good laugh as well, I think that's so important in life, which is probably why I've dabbled in comedy writing as well as horror. I think if you can make someone laugh or smile it's the most special thing in the world.
Paul Kane

If you work at comedy too laboriously, you can kill what's funny in the joke.
Richard Russo

I loved that about her because I knew it would open the door for a lot of comedy, because I knew that the conflict would come, because not many people live like the way she does.
Jenna Elfman

When you are the lead in a romantic comedy, you have to worry about people really liking you.
Morris Chestnut

When I tell people I'm a comedian they say, 'Oh, are you funny?' I say, 'No, it's not that kind of comedy.'
Susan Sarandon

Comedy is second nature for me.
Anthony Anderson

We didn't know anything about comedy duos - Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis - we didn't know anything about that. Kim Fields showed us a tape of Martin and Lewis and their old shows and they come through the curtain so we started doing research on them.
Kel Mitchell

Comedy is unusual people in real situations; farce is real people in unusual situations.
Chuck Jones

I think comedy's something you can't learn. It's an instinct, which makes it rather elusive.
Julie Walters

Comedy is a very, very, very stringent business.
Chuck Jones

You know what I would really like to do? I'd like to do a half hour drama with comedy in it.
Sharon Gless

I'm trying to make sure that there's comedy as well as sadness. It makes the sadness more memorable.
Rick Moody

The difference between tragedy and comedy: Tragedy is something awful happening to somebody else, while comedy is something awful happening to somebody else.
