It's funny, because in 1970 I met the Beatles quite by a chance at a party. It was the Beethoven bicentenary, and I was then also playing the Beethoven Sonatas. And that's all they wanted to hear about - I wanted to talk about them, and all they wanted to talk about was Beethoven.
‐‐ Daniel Barenboim
It's funny, because in deference to conventional wisdom, I spent my struggling writer years trying to suppress my naturally baroque literary voice and write clean, spare prose. I finally gave up and embraced my baroque tendencies when I wrote the Kushiel series.
‐‐ Jacqueline Carey
It's funny, because in drama school, my greatest strength was my range. So my early career was like that: I played all kinds of different characters.
‐‐ Lance Reddick
It's funny because it's funny.
‐‐ David Spade
It's funny because looking back at my first contest, I was 15 and surfing the Haleiwa contest wearing this tiny bikini. I remember not even thinking twice about wearing it - I just thought it was normal.
‐‐ Alana Blanchard
It's funny, because music is one of those things it is natural to go into. You hear it so much growing up, it kind of permeates you and eventually you spew out some music of your own.
‐‐ Dhani Harrison
It's funny, because people always say when they meet me, having read me - or they read me, having met me - that they are struck by how the tone is pretty similar, in real life and in the books.
‐‐ Geoff Dyer
It's funny, because readers think they want the characters to be blissfully happy, but it makes it kind of boring for the reader.
‐‐ L.A. Weatherly
It's funny because the action figures are cool, and then I enjoy the magazines because that's me. Obviously, the fans are wonderful - they're so excited - but I'm not Rey, and people tend to not be able to differentiate the two.
‐‐ Daisy Ridley
It's funny because 'The Book of Mormon' is 'The Book of Mormon' now. When I was doing it at the very beginning, and I was a part of it for four years and always believed in it, I never really knew if it was going to be more than a convention for 'South Park' fans.
‐‐ Josh Gad
It's funny because the perception is that the typical 'X Factor' contestant is the person who's just working 9 to 5 and just decides to one day go and audition. So yeah, for me, it was a very different story.
‐‐ Fleur East
It's funny, because there are so many stereotypes out there about actors and movie stars in general, but I've had a great opportunity to meet a lot of them, and maybe it's just because they don't behave that way around me, but I rarely see that kind of abuse of power.
‐‐ Ryan Reynolds
It's funny because unlike back in the seventies when I made hardly any money, today I could just live off the past if I wanted to. I have no interest in that.
‐‐ Mick Rock
It's funny because 'West Wing' is similar to 'Game of Thrones' in some ways, as it was very hard to pull off back then.
‐‐ Alex Graves
It's funny, because what happens to me when I read a script, when something grabs hold of me, I start getting these flashes of people or places or things or images.
‐‐ Johnny Depp
It's funny because when I got 'Jarhead' and 'Avatar' and all those movies, 'Leprechaun' still to this day airs on BET. I was thinking, 'Will they just let it go? I finally have a body of work that can speak much better to what I can do than just Leprechaun.'
‐‐ Laz Alonso
It's funny because when I'm outside Australia, I never get to do my Australian accent in anything. It's always a Danish accent or an English accent or an American accent.
‐‐ Mallory Jansen
It's funny, because when I was in college, all my professors said, 'You should do comedy.' And I was like, 'No! No!' But I was able to get my foot in the door through comedy. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to do it.
‐‐ Rachael Harris
It's funny, because when I went down to the combine for the interviews with teams, Charles Haley is the name that came up a lot as a comparison to the way I play. A lot of people said that I reminded them of him, and that's a great honor.
‐‐ Justin Tuck
It's funny, because when you're younger you're in a rush to be 18 or 21 or whatever. But then you hit 30. And now, the days go by like hours. You think, 40, man, this could be the halfway point. It could be the three-quarters point, you know? Who knows?
‐‐ Mark Wahlberg
It's funny because you know the novel process: you get the drafts, you get the galley, and then you get the galley proofs. You have opportunities to change things all along. But the further along in the process you go, the more careful you have to be in making those changes, and the smaller the changes have to be.
‐‐ Greg Rucka
It's funny being the big news every day - and the good news every day.
‐‐ Charlie Adam
It's funny, but I never knew I was hot or could be beautiful until I saw 'Basic Instinct,' and I was so shocked when I saw how pretty they made me.
‐‐ Sharon Stone
It's funny, but on a set there's a pecking order. There's a caste system, you know? It goes from the star down to the extra. That includes the crew as well. I've never liked that.
‐‐ Peter Jason
It's funny, but to me, when you go to a concert hall and hear electronic pieces from the '60s, I think they sound really dated. But when an orchestra plays a piece from that period, and it's going to sound different every time, it feels more modern to me.
‐‐ Jonny Greenwood
It's funny, but we were living on this small island off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina when I was 9.
‐‐ Josh Lucas
It's funny, but when I arrived in California to start college I was much more interested in becoming a surfer and cruise along in life from one beach to the next. I didn't plan out any huge career for myself.
‐‐ Benicio Del Toro
It's funny, but when there are dominant teams, there are a number of people who rail about the fact that they're always seeing the Dallas Cowboys or the San Francisco 49ers or the Green Bay either in the playoffs or in the Super Bowl.
‐‐ Al Michaels
It's funny, but you get to a time in your life when you think you have all the friends you will ever have.
‐‐ Liam Neeson
It's funny, 'cause it seems like just yesterday that I was the youngest player just starting out. But now there are young players all over the league, and they'll ask me questions about playing overseas or finding an agent.
‐‐ Sue Wicks
It's funny, everything is so much easier when you do it yourself.
‐‐ Carine Roitfeld
It's funny, growing up there was never anybody around me with any kind of artistic bent.
‐‐ Nick Offerman
It's funny, having the same name as someone. Me, Emma Watson and Emma Stone, the amount of times I've been called Emma Watson or Emma Stone is so funny. It's just 'cause we're all named Emma. None of us look alike.
‐‐ Emma Roberts
It's funny how a chubby kid can just be having fun, and people call it entertainment!
‐‐ Garth Brooks
It's funny how a film about a murderous old English toff can help you.
‐‐ Jim Broadbent
It's funny how a song can start in your mind, and then when it goes through all the filters, it ends up in a totally different spot.
‐‐ Jenny Lewis
It's funny how all of this has worked out - I wasn't popular in high school, but now every drunken guy in the United States wants to be my pal. They all want to buy me a shot, and pretty soon I'm throwing up.
‐‐ Jimmy Kimmel
It's funny how being an actor forces you to do things or go places that you wouldn't ordinarily.
‐‐ Natalie Dormer
It's funny how God will just keep using you, and our motto around our family forever has been, 'Just let Him use you.'
‐‐ Kim Fields
It's funny how human beings are so entertained by crimes.
‐‐ Ludivine Sagnier
It's funny how I use social media because I don't use it to promote my restaurants that much. I use it for social issues and I think that's what it's for. I do a few things - I mess around with music a lot because that's a passion of mine. If something strikes me and I want to share it, I do.
‐‐ Tom Colicchio
It's funny how intimate it feels to get a text.
‐‐ Sophie Ellis-Bextor
It's funny how it usually works out that I end up dying. It sort of works out, because by the time I die, I'm usually tired of working on that particular movie, so I look forward to it.
‐‐ Owen Wilson
It's funny how making odd noises can get you into strange situations sometimes.
‐‐ Eric San
It's funny how many people will come to Vegas to see your show where they might not come out to see you unless you come to their hometown.
‐‐ Reba McEntire
It's funny how most activists are pacifists.
‐‐ Craig Bruce
It's funny how most people love the dead, once you're dead, you're made for life.
‐‐ Jimi Hendrix
It's funny how people who ain't never been down there can think that America is so fair and that we should be alright. It's funny that the people who have their foot on our neck are telling us, 'Get up. What's wrong with you?'
‐‐ Ice Cube
It's funny how social activists usually protest against the only things that have a credible chance of achieving the activists' goals.
‐‐ Craig Bruce
