I know I'm funny, because I'm eccentric, I'm odd. I'm not what you expect.
— Marian Seldes
I like to make jokes; I consider myself a funny person. I just think making jokes about people who are in a situation beyond their control is not funny to them or their families.
— Maria Shriver
It's a funny old world.
— Margaret Thatcher
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
— Margaret Mead
My parents are very funny when they have to deal with anything racy or off-color. They usually pretend they don't speak English.
— Margaret Cho
It's funny to think that at 22 years old, I was really burned out from being on the road for 10 years.
— Maren Morris
Humor has the tendency to be funny once. If I tell you a joke, we're going to have a big laugh. But the second time I tell the joke, it's going to be a bit strange, and the third time you're going to ask if there's something wrong with me. So I am very cautious with jokes, but there is a lightness in my work.
— Marcel Wanders
It's funny: I like being surprised as a reader, so it's difficult for me to spoil my own stuff.
— Marc Guggenheim
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
The funny thing is that my husband couldn't be sweeter. He looks like this bad boy. He's got tattoos and earrings and a mohawk, but when you talk to him and he's around you, he's such a gentleman. He holds doors for ladies. He pulls out chairs. He cooks. He cleans.
— Malin Akerman
Who doesn't love a funny girl who can look sexy at the same time?
You go through at least the first two years of Star Trek and you find some amazing stuff. Everything that was going on Gene put into the series. He just put strange costumes on the actors and painted them funny colours and left the same situation in.
— Majel Barrett
I watch vlogs on YouTube. I watch Jenna Marbles a lot - I think she's really funny - and a lady called Daily Grace.
— Maisie Williams
It's funny how you can be thought of as somebody who humanizes bad guys, and I'll take that, but it is something that gave me pause, and I started speaking to my team about finding a good guy.
— Mahershala Ali
I tend to head for what's amusing because a lot of things aren't happy. But usually you can find a funny side to practically anything.
— Maggie Smith
I think Secretary's funny, it is about sex, and there's a lot of sex in it, sex is the key, but you're talking about a lot of other complicated things.
— Maggie Gyllenhaal
It's funny, because I don't have a very addictive personality in any way except for things like stories or books or movies or TV. I just get, like, completely enamored and lost in that world, especially when one really hits the right way. Like, I just can't do anything else.
— Mae Whitman
Baldwin is sort of getting to be a bit funny. I don't know what happened, but a few years ago they suddenly went bankrupt and Gibson bought the whole outfit. Since then they haven't seemed to be doing an awfully good job of providing pianos.
— Marian McPartland
People of my generation in Portugal fell into the magic potion of political ideas. What was very funny about this revolution was that it did not bring wealth to the Portuguese. But it brought language, ideas. You'd go to the fish market, and all the women who were selling fish would call each other fascist, communist.
— Maria de Medeiros
My uncle Sammy was an angry man. He had printed on his tombstone: What are you looking at?
— Margaret Smith
Writing for young children I find I often use particular jokes with words and exaggerated, funny events, but some of these haunt the more complex stories for older children too.
— Margaret Mahy
I can never tell when something is funny. I just have to do it onstage and find out.
Biggest influence is my parents. It's funny but my mom was the first one that allowed me to play tackle football. My dad was not ready to let me play yet. She definitely was the one who allowed me to do it. Obviously my dad taught me to throw and be a quarterback.
— Marcus Mariota
I don't think, 'Gee, I'd like to dress this person.' There was a picture in Us magazine. It was a jersey dress, and Courtney Love was wearing it. I have this thing about Courtney Love, this funny worship.
— Marc Jacobs
It's funny that black men, at first, were worried about a show called 'Girlfriends' because they thought that black men were gonna get bashed. They realized, 'Wait a minute - we're respected in this story.'
— Mara Brock Akil
If you're sick, watch funny movies.
— Mandy Patinkin
Every time I'm in Canada I feel more Swedish, and every time I'm in Sweden I feel more Canadian. I belong in both places and I love them both equally. It's funny because the Swedes claim me as their Swedish pride and the Canadians call me their Canadian girl. I'll take it all.
I'm a very funny person that doesn't get the chance to do a lot of comedy, and the same thing with my accents.
— Malik Yoba
You put funny people in funny costumes and paint them green and we could talk about anything we wanted to, because that was the only thing that fascinated Gene about this particular genre.
I haven't done Vine in a long time, and when I first started, I just did stuff that I thought was funny.
My boy and I move. We have this game where if we dress in a particular item of clothing, we have to do a different movement. A hat means 20 jumps - that sort of thing. When I put a scarf on, my son has to drop down and do push-ups, immediately. He thinks it's really funny.
— Magnus Scheving
It's funny because, based on the music I was making before, if you'd asked me who was the one gatekeeper or influencer whom I'd want to hear my music, I don't think Pharrell would be the first person I'd pick.
— Maggie Rogers
I've played a ghost, cat, snake. I've been funny, sad. I've been filmed flying on screen. So why not spend time on something else? I don't need to accept everything I'm offered.
— Maggie Cheung
It's hard to be funny when you have to be clean.
— Mae West
My mom always told me, 'You're very smart; you're very funny.' She never told me, 'You're very beautiful.'
— Mariacarla Boscono
There's nothing I dislike more than being in a photo shoot where they say, 'Be yourself.' That's not why I became an actress. That's what I find so funny: that you become an actor, and all of a sudden, everyone wants to know about you. But I didn't become an actor so I could show you me.
— Margot Robbie
It was funny being at high school and also grocery shopping and having a job. Other kids were going home to their parents, who were doing their laundry, and I was like, 'Wait, what?' I was super isolated. I was 16, alone in New York, and modelling.
— Margaret Qualley
There are things done under the name of science which are ridiculous. But there is also stuff done which sounds funny but is really serious.
— Margaret Geller
I particularly like Twitter, because it's short and can be very funny and informative. It's a little bit like having your own radio program.
— Margaret Atwood
If at first you don't succeed, blame your parents.
— Marcelene Cox
I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I'm recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it's not as commonplace to be recognized.
I grew up a really shy kid, but I always surrounded myself with a lot funny people. It depends on the day - if I feel like being quiet, I will be. I'm not a complete goofball, though.
— Manny Montana
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
I have this weird obsession with kids and old people falling. Like, funny falls. It is awful, but it's the thing that makes me laugh the most.
I had a strong vision for 'The Best Man Holiday,' so I was able to translate that to the actors and ultimately to the screen. Things can't get too heavy or too outrageously funny; it has to strike a balance. Tone is everything. If you've set the right tone, you can get away with a lot of stuff. You can get away with making people cry.
— Malcolm D. Lee
It's so funny, actors usually have a directing ambition. I've got no ambition for directing.
— Majandra Delfino
Sometimes people think they know you and they go, 'Hey!' and then they realize that they've just seen you on the television. That's kind of funny sometimes.
I tell you, it's funny because the only time I think about HIV is when I have to take my medicine twice a day.
— Magic Johnson
I'm kind of a funny writer because I write very sporadically.
What's great about having an audience is they can let you know what they don't think is funny, and you can just cut that out and keep trying.
— Maggie Carey
