The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.
— P. G. Wodehouse
I find that I'm extremely unattracted to anything that's humorless. There is writing that is entirely serious, and it doesn't ring true to me, because I think, oftentimes, life is very, very funny. Even the worst, most humiliating, savage disappointments in retrospect have elements of bleak humor.
— Owen King
This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
— Oscar Wilde
What's funny in 'The Mayor of MacDougal Street' is how Dave Van Ronk talks a lot about the time and how exciting it was and how electric it was.
— Oscar Isaac

— Orlando Bloom

— Olivia Munn
I got to play with Nintendo's Wii, yes it's a funny name and not very revolutionary but it was fun whipping your arms around.
I love the script and I just thought it was a great role. Like I say, it's like this - the script is like this sad, funny, desperate love song to the lost American man.
— Oliver Platt
I like to come back to the science fiction of Stanislaw Lem. He is comforting but also funny, and although I know his books, there's always something new to discover.
— Olga Tokarczuk
Certainly there are things in life that money can't buy, but it's very funny - Did you ever try buying them without money?
— Ogden Nash
It may sound funny, but it's true: I tried to put myself through the 12-step program. I didn't want to attend a real meeting; my role didn't really require that, and I feel those meetings are sort of sacred, and they're anonymous for a reason. I tried to deal with some of my love of snacks - and I relapsed a lot.
— Octavia Spencer

I have an unfortunate personality.

— Oona Chaplin
The funny thing is that I used to be a blogger, but it wasn't known as 'blogging' at that time. This was in the '99/2000 time frame.
— Om Malik
It's really kind of a luxury for an actor to have the opportunity to show such different types of characters. I actually left 'Cowboys & Aliens' and went straight into 'The Change-Up.' It was kind of a funny change of pace.
It is possible in this world to be pretty and funny and successful all at the same time.
If you think something's funny, go with that. Most comedians pull jokes from a place of honesty.

— Oliver Herford
I found Leonora Carrington's 'The Hearing Trumpet' really funny.
Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.
I think it's actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian.
Turn up the lights. I don't want to go home in the dark.
Years ago, there was a variety theatre in every British town, and people paid to go down and see it. Comedy was the main part of the theatre, and comedians earned a living by being funny. Now you have comedy in television instead. Comedians now have to be funny within a play.
— Norman Wisdom
I'd say Jon Stewart has remained funny the entire time. Jon always makes it funny first. And he's just, he's talking about serious things, but in a funny way. Other comedians will talk about serious things in a serious way, and then you don't know what's going on.
— Norm MacDonald
Memories are like mulligatawny soup in a cheap restaurant. It is best not to stir them.

— Owen Wilson
Everyday life is pretty funny and pretty ridiculous and occasionally really great, though not all the time, and that's all part of it.
Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm schizophrenic, and so am I.
— Oscar Levant

— Orlando Jones
'Power' is a funny thing. Maybe it's a show that draws people in because they are watching people do things they secretly wish they could do or know they could get away with.
— Omari Hardwick
What is funny is when you do a futuristic movie, you immediately get to be fashionable because you're creating something that doesn't exist.
— Olivier Theyskens
I'm opening up my heart to the idea of dating. It's funny - my friends would always come to me for romantic advice. I know nothing, and things have changed since I was dating in high school! I'm really trying hard to spend this time working on myself.
Jon Stewart hires people that he thinks are funny. That's it. That's the only requirement.
If people still trust me with a funny line, then that is fine. If that is what gets me work.
— Olivia Colman
Reality is like a doughnut: Everything that is good and funny and juicy is outside the center, which is just emptiness.

— O. T. Fagbenle
