I want to be known for my performances and doing my craft well, not for funny stuff I post on Twitter or whatever. Billy Magnussen craftfunnyperformance Change image and share on social
Anybody can make jokes. But unless they come from conviction, and there's truth in them, you haven't nailed it. They aren't as funny as they could be, and they don't make a point. Dan Jenkins convictionfunnyjoke Change image and share on social
Like almost everyone who uses e-mail, I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting. Bill Gates daydebtexcit Change image and share on social
I don't know if there is a gene for comedy, but my dad was a very funny man. He just didn't know it. He was a naturally funny character, and when my brother and I would laugh at things he said and did, he would say, 'What do you think is so funny?'

I was greatly influenced by 'The Goons' and 'Monty Python' reconstituting what comedy was - it could come from a funny word, not just a set up and a pay-off. I liked the zaniness; they were satirical, slightly saucy and very literary in their references. Sanjeev Bhaskar comedyfunnygoon share on social

Wikipedia is just an incredible thing. It is fact-encirclingly huge, and it is idiosyncratic, careful, messy, funny, shocking and full of simmering controversies - and it is free, and it is fast. Nicholson Baker carefulcontroversyencirclingly Change image and share on social

I get tired of comedies where there are a bunch of funny guys and a beautiful woman who doesn't do anything funny. And I don't like books where there's a rough-and-tumble boy and a really clever, snotty girl. That's just not my experience with teenagers. Patrick Ness beautifulbookboy share on social
Definitely, I think I fulfill a very funny Indian stereotype because I love technology. It's something I've always been interested in. Manish Dayal fulfillfunnyhave Change image and share on social
