I do intelligent roles. I don’t want to be labeled as doing silly movies. I’m more mature than kids my age because I’m constantly surrounded by adults. – Mischa Barton
Talking about Apple v. Microsoft without mentioning the Internet and the browser is like talking about WWII without talking about the nuke. Framing the conversation just in terms of open v. closed operating systems, the quality of the hardware or software or who the CEO was, is silly. – Michael Arrington
I never wanted to make a graphic novel. As soon as you become a ‘writer,’ you have to be intelligent all the time… I like the fact that I have the right once in a while to say silly things. – Marjane Satrapi
Most performers take themselves too seriously. They forget there is a difference between the characters they play on the screen or stage and themselves, but the public doesn’t forget there is a difference. They see how silly it is if you try to be the same person all the time. – Grace Jones
To have drunkards, idiots, horse-racing, rumselling rowdies, ignorant foreigners, and silly boys fully recognized, while we ourselves are thrust out from all the rights that belong to citizens, it is too grossly insulting to… be longer quietly submitted to. – Elizabeth Caty Stanton
After 9/11, we realized that all these silly culture wars, and arguing about rock lyrics… who cares? You know, we, for some reason, remembered what our real problems are. – Frank Rich
My friends and I often film videos when we get together and hang out, and they’re usually just silly situational videos just for our own amusement. – Ed Oxenbould
No wishes are silly, no dreams remain dreams, for those committed to clear and definitive goals. – Maximillian Degenerez
There is always something I gain from watching a movie, whether it’s a silly romantic comedy or an art film. – Gia Coppola
I’m probably the most honest person you’ll ever meet – to a fault, like, I-will-hurt-your-feelings honest. I’m sure if I lied about anything, it would have been silly, but I haven’t retained that information. – Ellen DeGeneres

If you look at footage of the Newfoundland Regiment, you see they are at rest and giddy and being silly with one another. Silliness is the antidote to trench warfare. – Michael Winter
Sometimes there are paparazzi that take photos and you don’t know they’re there. So you’re laughing, kicking up your heels and doing silly things. You don’t even realize it.

One of my favorite films is ‘Dumb and Dumber.’ I’d love to do some really silly comedy someday. – Paul Dano

It’s almost embarrassing, but I do have one trick for taking portraits on commission. I carry one of these little bicycle horns in my pocket, and once in a while, when someone is sour-faced or stiff, I blow my horn. It sort of shatters the barriers. It’s silly, but it works. – Elliott Erwitt
Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence. – Democritus
