Wrestling was like stand-up comedy for me. Every night I had a live audience of 25,000 people to win over. My goal was never to be the loudest or the craziest. It was to be the most entertaining.
Dwayne Johnson

Why would they have gone to the trouble to hire the best comedy writers in the business to write funny material for us to play straight, if the children in our audience were the only audience.
Burt Ward

You're at the top of your game if you do comedy.
Hector Elizondo

Well Washington DC what are you going to do. They think the capitol steps are the state of the art in comedy. You try to drag them into the 20th century let alone the 21st and they refuse to come with you.
Harry Shearer

Well my biggest dream is to be in a romantic comedy.
Izabella Scorupco

Strangely, Dante's Divine Comedy did not produce a prose of that creative height or it did so after centuries.
Eugenio Montale

I think we're the only jokeless show on television. I mean really, we have no setups and no punch lines. It's not a joke show. There are funny lines and funny moments but again the comedy is born of the human experience and awkward pauses are a great part of what it is to be human.
Rainn Wilson

We are in desperate need of a well-done romantic lesbian comedy.
Jill Bennett

It's a comedy thriller, brilliantly written and it's full of twists and turns at every page. When I was reading it I was desperate to get to the end to find out what happens, it really hooks you.
Louise Jameson

I don't devalue comedy as compared to drama. Not one bit.
Ben Stiller

Jerry Bruckheimer creates comedy, he just doesn't realize because he's a turd.
Trey Parker

If you want to make an audience laugh, you dress a man up like an old lady and push her down the stairs. If you want to make comedy writers laugh, you push an actual old lady down the stairs.
Tina Fey

If you are a great dramatic actor then you often don't know if people are enjoying your stuff at all because they are sitting there in silence. But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.
Steve Coogan

There is no essential difference between the material of comedy and tragedy. All depends on the point of view of the dramatist, which, by clever emphasis, he tries to make the point of view of his audience.
George P. Baker

I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.
Ivan Reitman

At times we were criticized for doing too much slapstick. I don't believe in mild comedy, and neither does Lucy.
Desi Arnaz

As you know it is a comedy so everything is a little bit pushed. That's what's funny about this kind of movie is you can laugh about the absurdity, and the bad side of life.
Sophie Marceau

In comedy, you have to be unafraid to hang from the tree branch naked in the high wind and you have to be absolutely unafraid to look ridiculous and silly.
Matt LeBlanc

I am a big fan of the TV series 'Taxi' which combined comedy and pathos better than any other show I've seen.
Douglas Wood

But I find with Francis Bacon, some of the things were in the place, and someone who was connected with these schools of thought, and someone who had a motivation that equals the scope of the comedy and the tragedy in the plays.
Mark Rylance
