Comedy Quotes
Taste in comedy, like fashion, changes all the time.

It's the idea that we as people can control our own destinies. The government and the corporations, more even than the government, can't dictate what artwork we're supposed to like or what comedy we're supposed to laugh at.
Kathleen Hanna
Bikini Kill

There are advances in technology and enabling voices, but there are issues with the stories themselves. I think people of color are still not seen as human beings. They're still associated with types, with comedy, but we're in a crisis right now, with things like Black Lives Matter. We need films that address these issues.
Charles Burnett
Element of surprise is really fun for me in comedy. I have to be surprised, and everything's been done.
Zach Galifianakis
Comedy often comes at the expense of others, and to do that smartly, you don't want to make fun of vulnerable people. You want to make fun of people in power, and so you need to really understand the dynamics of power.
Elizabeth Banks
I love doing comedy. It's a lot of fun.
Alexa Vega
Comedy is funny when it comes from truth, and that's always the rule of them. It's about how far you can push that boundary.
Ari Graynor
I started out playing big bands shows and different things. I was with several different small bands and groups, doing comedy and singing, emceeing, and I got a break with a very big star of the late fifties whose name was Tommy Sands.
Hal Blaine
It blows my mind that you get Shakespeare where the 'low' comedy characters have got Northern or Welsh accents.
John Tiffany
About half the scripts sent to me feature characters I just can't identify with, particularly one-dimensional businessmen or, if it's a comedy, some absurd 10-year-old Japanese stereotype, some role related to IT or business... There's no point in getting mad about it; it's just the way things are.
Ken Watanabe
I love doing comedy, and that's the thing I will always go back to, really, but I'd love to have the freedom to do sort of 'meaty' roles but also have the freedom to do the sort of films I want to make, like what Woody Allen does. You forget he's funny because you're so gripped by the story, but they still make you laugh.
Alice Lowe
