Comics Quotes

My jokes are in my head and I have a duplicate copy of my jokes in a lot of British comics' heads, where they are safe.
Emo Philips

Head, Jokes, Safe

I have had issues with depression all my life, and it's probably true to say there was a tendency towards it even when I was very young, during my schooldays. There was often - and this is quite common with comics - a sense of not feeling as if I belonged anywhere.
Jack Dee

Life, True, Depression

Jeff Bridges

Shia LaBeouf

Alone, Find, Able

A nice, easy place for freedom of speech to be eroded is comics, because comics are a natural target whenever an election comes up.
Neil Gaiman

Freedom, Nice, Place

I've thought for the last decade or so, the only actual place raw truth was seeping through in newspapers was on the Comics Pages. They were able to pull off intelligent social comment, pure truths not found elsewhere in the news pages, and had the ability to make it all funny, entertaining, and pertinent.
Elayne Boosler

Funny, Truth, Through

A study last year showed that the page you turn to first in the newspaper can be a predictor of how long you will live. No surprise, turning first to the Comics Pages prolongs your life.
Elayne Boosler

So the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is out there preserving and fighting for, and sometimes winning and sometimes losing, the fight for First Amendment rights in comics and, more generally, for freedom of speech.
Neil Gaiman

Freedom, Legal, Fight

Historically, Hollywood comedy has arrived in skinny envelopes. From fence post Buster Keaton to herky-jerky Jerry Lewis to wiry nerve-bundle Woody Allen to hung-loose Richard Pryor to whippy contortionist Jim Carrey, its comics and clowns have tended to be sliced thin and bendable.
James Wolcott

Comedy, Hollywood, Skinny

I wasn't ever a huge fan of comics. Just not one of those kids, you know?
Gary Oldman

Kids, Fan, Huge

Some people can do things and get away with it. Comics are famously like that. Why is it that some guys can say the most horrible things and it's not offensive, it's funny?
Christopher Walken

Funny, Why, Away

I always like to watch comics and it's interesting that you can tell if someone's funny in 10 seconds.
Christopher Walken

Funny, Someone, Tell

People still go to Comic-Con because they love comics.
Rashida Jones

There's this idea that it has to be made in London. But we've got everything up here, and if you've got comics who are gifted because of where they're from, you shouldn't drag them away from that natural resource.
Johnny Vegas

Everything, Made, Away

I am into belly dancing. I used to only hang with comics. Now I have friends who are dancers, and my whole house has a harem feel.
Margaret Cho

Friends, Whole, Used

As a kid, I was a big comic fan and I liked foreign comics as well.
Shigeru Miyamoto

There are comics who treat women fairly appallingly. But I can be great friends with them because I don't tend to do that ticking of boxes: it can make life too simplistic.
Jo Brand

Life, Women, Great

There are 10-20 times more male comics than female comics; it's something to do with the social structure of society.
Jo Brand

It was an unwritten law that black comics were not permitted to work white nightclubs. You could sing and you could dance, but you couldn't stand flat-footed and talk; that was a no-no.
Dick Gregory

Work, Black, Law

It's very hard for a woman in comedy. It's hard for women to be bold and not care what anyone, particularly men, think. Maybe that is why so many women comics are lesbians.
Margaret Cho

Women, Men, Care

I tell young comics, 'Do you want this badly enough? It's there. But you have to go get it. And if you think I'm going to give you the key to the lock of that door, there is no key, there is no lock, and there is no door.'
Jerry Lewis

Give, Enough, Young

Reading and writing are connected. I learned to read very early so I could read the comics, which I then started to draw.
Margaret Atwood

Writing, Learned, Read

People ask 'do you make a conscious effort not to swear?' - if you're doing silly stuff you're not tempted to put swearing in. All the comics from my childhood, who were funny without swearing, were the people that influenced me. What I do is quite traditional anyway.
Tim Vine

Funny, Put, Effort

The most unrealistic thing I've ever read in comics is when some group of characters calls themselves the Brotherhood of Evil or the Masters of Evil. I don't believe any character believes their goals to be truly evil.
Len Wein

Character, Evil, Themselves

I think you can do anything with comics that you could do in just about any art form.
Harvey Pekar

I'm not sure anybody's ready to see me in a drama. And loving movies so much, I've seen a lot of comics try to make that transition too fast, and it can be detrimental. And I don't think I've had as much success as I need in the comedy genre to open up those opportunities.
Seann William Scott

Success, Movies, Try

I think comics in New York are interested in being comics. And there're comics in L.A. who are touring comics, who are certainly more interested in stand-up, but a lot of L.A. stand-ups are really looking to do something else.
Lewis Black

Else, Looking, Interested

I do get the comics online I guess but it's such a pain. I'd rather just get them in the paper and read them.
Drew Carey

Pain, Rather, Read
