Me carrying a briefcase is like a hotdog wearing earrings.
— Sparky Anderson
As an actor you get categorized by other people, but it's not like I arrange myself into comedy mode or serious mode. If it's good writing you just have to play it true - if it's funny, it's funny. But obviously you don't want it to be amusing if you're playing Hedda Gabler!
— Sophie Thompson
The way I write is totally instinctive. I just write what I feel or what I find funny - and hope everyone else agrees.
— Sophie Kinsella
It's funny how intimate it feels to get a text.
— Sophie Ellis-Bextor
I always believe in pants. You can play with your legs, your attitude, with pants. It's much more funny. It's much more sophisticated. It's much more arrogant, like a man with feminine attitude. I love pants.
— Sonia Rykiel
It may sound funny to others, but there is a sense of freedom when I am able to live on my own, and as per my own set standards.
— Soha Ali Khan
It's funny. People often compare me to other humor essayists. They're usually quite nice comparisons; I will accept those gladly. But I am always sort of appalled at the idea of being lumped with other, more chick-y female writers. And the truth is probably that neither comparison is accurate.
— Sloane Crosley
Even in fiction, I feel rigorous honesty applies. It doesn't apply to facts; it applies to what I think of as not telling emotional lies, which is a funny business.
— Siri Hustvedt
I was always a funny person. I thought I would play some good ball, and the Harlem Globetrotters would see me, and that would be it - fame.
— Sinbad
Leave America and you'll find that the consumers in many other countries enjoy watching advertising. Not because the products are better, but because the ads are produced to be entertaining. Sometimes they are funny. Sometimes they are dramatic. Sometimes they are just beautiful.
— Simon Sinek
At the end of the day I'm writing comedy. If you get too realistic as a comedy writer with your disasters, it stops being funny.
— Simon Rich
I love shifting between being super cute and aggressive. It's funny.
— Sigrid
A lot of people think that, as a person, Nawazuddin Siddiqui is very serious. However, he is very funny and witty. Once he opens up with you, he can be the funniest person around.
— Shweta Tripathi
Japanese people have a funny habit of abbreviating names.
— Shigeru Miyamoto
I believe in accepting whatever life offers with a laugh. So if things are dark and terrible, I try to find the funny side to it. Probably that's why I gravitate towards comedy.
— Shenaz Treasury
Wikipedia's funny. Some of the stuff on there - I go there occasionally - it's unbelievable the amount of stuff that people will write on there.
— Sheamus
They'll say, That's funny, but you can't do that on TV.
— Shawn Wayans
When you are 15, everything is such high stakes, even tiny things. I think because of that, it is funny but sad at the same time.
— Sophie Wu
I just heard a very funny story about somebody who died yesterday, I'm sorry to say so but it was so absurd that you can't help laughing. And the person that was concerned about that story was laughing too.
— Sophie Marceau
I always thought 'chick lit' meant third-person contemporary funny novels, dealing with issues of the day. I mean, it's not the ideal term; when I'm asked to describe what I do, I say I write romantic comedies, cause that's what I feel they are. But I'm quite pragmatic.
I grew up with my grandfather, so I knew him really, really well. He was funny and opinionated and wonderful. He was fascinated by things and always curious.
— Sophie Dahl
I don't like happy stuff. I'm not funny.
— Sondra Radvanovsky
I can find the worst thing in the world funny. My humour is dark. If I'm talking about the worst situations in my life, it's like a comedy - you can laugh at my pain.
— Slowthai
I think a lot of humor is about distracting yourself. Pretend you're not trying to make it funny. Because for some reason the effort to be funny smells like sulphur in our culture.
It's funny: now we're starting to do interviews, we've just begun to understand what we're doing, whereas before, without doing interviews, we never really thought about motives.
— Siouxsie Sioux
When I started building things, obviously I was pretty bad at it. You cant be good at it from the start, and I decided to just embrace that, roll with it, and turn it into something funny.
— Simone Giertz
I find, when you're an optimist, life has a funny way of looking after you.
It's interesting: composers can be very funny ducks.
— Simon Rattle
Before I started on 'Borgen', people introduced me to some great American box-sets to convince me that TV could be good. I now watch them all the time. Amy Poehler is very funny in 'Parks and Recreation' and 'In Treatment,' with Gabriel Byrne, is also really good.
— Sidse Babett Knudsen
When we criticize in Iran the actions of the government, the fundamentalists say that we and the Bush Administration are in the same camp. The funny thing is that human rights activists and Mr. Bush can never be situated in the same group.
— Shirin Ebadi
People don't realize that I'm really funny and I'm an excellent bridge player.
— Sheryl Crow
We are supposed to enjoy the good stuff now, while we can, with the people we love. Life has a funny way of teaching us that lesson over and over again.
— Sheena Easton
We have always had gross humor. But we try for funny, not gross.
I'm very, very amateur, which is funny because I'm not in the amateur leagues.
— Shawn Mendes
I haven't played Hedda Gabler yet, but maybe if I did I might find the funny bits.
As you know it is a comedy so everything is a little bit pushed. That's what's funny about this kind of movie is you can laugh about the absurdity, and the bad side of life.
What I find relatively funny is that I'm not a model. I'm five foot six and a half; I have absolutely no dream or desire to be a model, I don't live for fashion. But when an opportunity comes your way very early in your career, like Burberry, you do it.
— Sophie Kennedy Clark
I was lucky. My family is wonderful. And it's funny, because most of my best friends come from very large families. So it always felt as if I had lots of siblings, though in the end I had to leave them and go home. I kind of got the best of both worlds as a kid.
— Sophia Bush
Kyriakos Papadopoulos is really funny. So is Karim Bellarabi. They are full of jokes in the dressing room.
— Son Heung-min
Some of the writers I admire who seem very, very funny and very emotional to me can develop a closeness with the reader without giving too much of themselves away. Lorrie Moore comes to mind, as does David Sedaris. When they write, the reader thinks that they're being trusted as a friend.
Henry Miller is a famous writer whose work has fallen out of fashion, but I strongly recommend that readers who don't know his work pick up a book and experience this writer's zealous, crazy, inventive, funny, sexy, often delirious prose.
My faith has cost me a lot of money. Because I do creative roles, and I guess someone could think of me as, I could play bawdy, I could play rough around the edges. And so they think, 'Oh, she'll do this. It'll be so funny.' And I'm like, 'I'm not doing that.'
— Siobhan Fallon Hogan
Everyone who has ever met me for at least five minutes knows I'm a really funny person. I love to laugh and to make people laugh, so writing comedy comes naturally to me.
— Simone Elkeles
I'm not disciplined at all. I barely function. But I get a lot done. I take days off all the time, but when I work, I work very fast and very efficiently. But I'm always having days when I'm feeling a little anxious, and I take a day off. I work in a funny way.
— Simon Sebag Montefiore
There's something very funny about giving a menial task to a genius and watching him find so much complexity and overanalyse it to such a degree that the waitress from Nebraska working at the Cheesecake Factory has passed them all by.
— Simon Helberg
Humor is the oxygen of children's literature. There's a lot of competition for children's time, but even kids who hate to read want to read a funny book.
— Sid Fleischman
In 'Space Dandy,' I'm trying to challenge myself and do stuff I haven't done before. I'm aiming for a really funny, cool, and crazy creation.
— Shinichiro Watanabe
I'm a walking contradiction. I am funny that way.
— Sherilyn Fenn
The funny thing was, with IT, I was never really a tech type of person: I was better with people, good at dealing with people. I had technical experience; I knew the nitty gritty. I could never be a programmer or anything, but I knew my way around.
We definitely have our finger on the pulse. You have to keep up. We decide what to watch by what's funny.
