Antonin Scalia was witty, warm, funny, and full of life. He was not only one of the most important justices in the nation’s history; he was also among the greatest. – Cass Sunstein
Whether it’s an innate ability or an acquired way of regarding the world around us, being labeled as funny can only be accepted as a compliment. – Alan Zweibel
I think there’s something in the fact that it’s hard to be good looking and funny. You have to have an oddball quality; people have to sympathise with you to find you funny. – Chris O’Dowd
Even in the very beginning when she would bump into George Valentine and people would start taking pictures of her, she never thought, ‘I’m with George Valentine. I need to get a picture with him.’ She’s like ‘oh that’s funny. Everyone’s taking pictures!’ – Berenice Bejo
‘Ugly Betty’ has been the most important thing I’ve ever done, easily. I was able to do more with one character than I can ever imagine doing again – Hilda was hilariously funny and emotionally deep… I really got to showcase what I could do with a character. – Ana Ortiz
As young as I look, I think it will still be funny if I played a person who’s kind of tortured and hates his life. Kind of like a Larry David-type thing. – Andy Milonakis
About 100 things that your kid will do that will surprise you and break your heart and it will be a combination of fact based therapy, medically advised kinds of passages accompanied by celebrity anecdotes and just some funny stuff to lighten the load. – Alan Thicke
I know what I look like. I’m not a babe who’s automatically going to be the leading-lady type. I think I would always be cast as the friend. I probably tend to look crap more often than I look good. I like messing around and pulling funny faces and doing funny walks. – Ashley Jensen
I got the wake-up call that no one is policing our oceans. I wondered, how can I do anything? What really can I do to make things better? There are some perks to being a celebrity. My job is to be funny once in a while, but it’s my responsibility to make good use of it. – Angela Kinsey
It’s funny because I’m a sucker for glitz and glitter when it comes to clothes and nail polish, but with my makeup, I’m more comfortable with a natural look. It feels more like me. – Alison Sweeney
It’s funny how you never think about the women you’ve had. It’s always the ones who get away that you can’t forget. – Chuck Palahniuk
I don’t think that there’s necessarily a side to drama that has to be completely bleak. You have to have a flicker of humor ’cause everyone has a flicker of humor, something they find funny in life. – Amy Seimetz
I love a smart, well-written show, and ’30 Rock,’ well, you can’t get any better than that. Tina Fey poos funny. There’s nothing that she does that isn’t funny. That show is an example of how brilliant she is. It’s so smart. They’ve done some brilliant commentary about the ‘Housewives’ with ‘Queen of Jordan,’ their show-within-the-show. – Andy Cohen
You know, Lincoln was funny. I don’t think F.D.R. was very funny. But Lincoln was funny. Lincoln was really funny. But I think you should get elected first, and then show that you’re funny. – Al Franken
It’s funny: in the middle of making ‘The Muse,’ I was offered, at the time, the first ‘Ice Age,’ the part that Ray Romano took: I was offered the elephant. And I couldn’t even stop to breathe, so I didn’t do it. They’ve made, like, six of them. And in the animation business, for a voice actor, that’s what you want. You want six, you know? – Albert Brooks
I guess something that I’ve noticed from American acts who had success in touring is more of an explanation as to their music. Which is I think quite funny. I think British acts might like to leave more to the imagination – maybe a bit more obscure perhaps – a bit more shy. – Ben Lovett
In terms of being vulgar, I don’t think you need to be violent unless it’s slapstick, violence to yourself. That can be funny – we’ve all tripped and fallen on our faces. – Andy Dick
I’m a bug on acting, which distinguishes Second City from a lot of other revues. It comes from the character, the behavior, and not from the jokes. I don’t think jokes are funny. Humor comes out of character and out of situations the character is in. – Bernard Sahlins
You know my girls are so funny. You’re out in the country and there are critters everywhere and they get a little like, ‘Oh my God! Oh no, bugs!’ and I had to say, ‘Honey this is fine. This is their world and it’s all part of being in the country.’ I realized, ‘Oh my God, my girls are really city girls.’ – Anna Gunn
As far as I’m concerned, ‘whom’ is a word that was invented to make everyone sound like a butler. – Calvin Trillin
Same thing, like my commercials are often times really funny because I tend to find 30 seconds is a really good amount of time to tell a joke. – Alex Winter
I’ve been doing comedy since I was two. You know, kids who make other kids laugh. The sickness had set in! I could make my friends’ parents laugh; I had a sense of what was silly and funny. – Albert Brooks
Johnny Rotten. He’s a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he’d stand up and holler. He’s funny. Smart too, and a nice guy. Don’t think he’s a jerk because he isn’t. – Captain Beefheart
Being effective at social media, whether for business or personal use, means capturing people who have short attention spans. They’re only a click away from a picture of a funny cat, so you have to make your thing more compelling than that cat. And that can be a high bar. – Alexis Ohanian
Yet there are some people – Steve Allen would dissect comedy forever; he’s a really funny guy, but he would love talking about comedy. I’m doing it right now and you all seem bored. – Bob Saget
