I have a really dry sense of humor. I don't think it's funny when people wink at the camera. That's more of an actor thing, just committing to whatever the thing is.
— Topher Grace
My mom was funny and nutty. I suppose she had to be to survive raising 10 kids. To cope and keep a cap on things, she kept us buoyant and harmonious. She wouldn't let us express anger, which later on landed me in therapy but also made it easier for me to play laid-back, measured roles.
— Tony Shalhoub
I keep saying this - and I keep putting it off because I get busy - but I keep saying one year I'm gonna tape our Thanksgiving dinner or, like, our Christmas dinner and maybe put it on my website just for people to see how funny it really is, how much fun it really, really is.
— Tony Rock
It's part of the gift and the curse of coming behind my brother. I'm not afforded the luxury of just taking a set casual, taking the night off. Because if I bomb, it's, 'Oh, he's not funny - he's just doing it because of his brother.'
I knew about boxing, as my dad could fight. He had a successful security firm in Liverpool, and I'd see him come back from a jog before shadow boxing in the back yard. I'd watch and replicate what he was doing, as kids do. It's funny how things turn out.
— Tony Bellew
If I get dressed up, and my boyfriend says, 'You look gorgeous,' I kinda feel funny. I don't know if I'm particularly comfortable with being attractive.
— Toni Collette
It doesn't matter how many times the audience has heard it before. If it's funny, it's funny.
— Tommy Cooper
I've met a lot of jazz musicians in my day, and they're all funny.
— Tommy Chong
It's funny going to America because you're starting again. You've just won a Brit Award, but nobody will care. You have to prove yourself, but it's good to do that stuff. You might be big in Britain, but you still have to work at it everywhere else.
— Tom Walker
No comedian's wife thinks he's funny. The first few years of the marriage, maybe. I was funny as hell the first couple of years.
— Tom Smothers
I think being funny was a coping mechanism because I was always the new kid in school.
— Tom Segura
I no longer believe that just about everything is funny, if viewed from the proper angle.
— Tom Perrotta
I think I would say 'The King's Speech' is surprisingly funny, in fact the audiences in London, Toronto, LA, New York commented there's more laughter in this film than in most comedies, while it is also a moving tear-jerker with an uplifting ending.
— Tom Hooper
If you're funny, if there's something that makes you laugh, then every day's going to be okay.
— Tom Hanks
If something becomes mean-spirited and hurtful, it's not funny.
— Tom Green
My take on 'Lucifer' was pretty much laid down by Tom Kapinos when he wrote the original pilot script for it. I remember reading it for the first time, and I was about four or five pages in, thinking this is so funny, and I know how I would want to do this if I was going to do it.
— Tom Ellis
I'm attracted to women who are smart and funny and ambitious and have lives of their own and great families. Isn't that what attracts anyone?
— Tom Brady
I do like any kind of project that has both comedy and drama in it because in life you don't have one day where everything is funny then the next day everything is dramatic.
The real world has always been far more exciting and funny and dangerous to me than anything somebody could conjure up sitting in front of a computer.
— Tony Scott
My family is just naturally funny.
We try to... we are, I suppose to a certain extent all affected and erm, that is both funny and sad I think.
— Tony Hancock
I like marriage. The idea.
— Toni Morrison
Some guy decided that it would be funny to put that in my Wikipedia entry. He was adamant that 'Mickey' was about Micky Dolenz. I choreographed the 'Head' movie but I didn't really know Micky at all. I knew Davy Jones much better.
— Toni Basil
I went window shopping today! I bought four windows.
The funny thing is, Dennis Miller got me back into comedy.
I'm good at being funny.
— Tom Stoppard
I wanted to be in show business, and I was funny.
What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious. My response is that I will make up my mind when God does, because life is a commingling of the sacred and the profane, good and evil. To try and separate them is fallacy.
— Tom Robbins
Laughter is involuntary. If it's funny you laugh.
— Tom Lehrer
If you play it straight it's funny - the best comedy is always played straight down the middle. The adjustment is understanding from the screenplay that a moment is hilarious.
— Tom Hiddleston
At the end of the day it's got to be a good movie, it's got to be a funny movie, and it's got to make people think, 'Hey, I couldn't have spent my time any better.'
The thing to keep in mind is that's how I started long before MTV and Twitter and Facebook. I studied at broadcasting school so I could learn how to shoot and edit videos, and tried to create my own television show so we could see through these wacky visions we had of funny bits we wanted to shoot.
Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.
— Tom DeLonge
I know how to make adults laugh pretty well. I don't know if kids think I'm that funny.
— Tom Bodett
Actors are a funny lot. Sometimes they're not satisfied with where they are. I include myself.
— Tony Todd
I can make anything in the room funny in a few seconds.
My favorite comics are the ones who say funny stuff but also give you the message. They give you the laughter, but there's also the, 'Mmm - I didn't take that into consideration.'
It's both funny and sad which seem to me to be the two basic ingredients of good comedy.
I don't want to come across the wrong way, which is hard when being funny or sarcastic at times, but I also want to make my posts more interesting.
— Toni Garrn
It's so funny because no matter what you say, fans only read and hear what they want.
— Tommy Lee
Cheech and I used to call ourselves musicians; we never called ourselves comedians. We were musicians that were funny.
Imagination is a funny thing - we sometimes need to see something before we can truly picture it.
— Tomi Adeyemi
There are certain sorts of jokes which have only to do with the substitution of the unexpected word in a familiar context. If you translated something into French and then had it translated back into English by somebody who didn't know the original, you'd lose what was funny.
Some actors try to play parts and do things they can't do. Being funny is one of them. Being funny's hard.
— Tom Sizemore
It's funny how the music industry is enraged about the Internet and the way things are copied without being paid for. But you know why people steal the music? Because they can't afford the music.
— Tom Petty
It's funny, you know: my mother-in-law, who doesn't have an ounce of nerd in her, is just so excited by the fact that I write 'Batman' because she'll see an article about me in the 'Washington Post' or 'The Wall Street Journal' or something. And that means so much to me.
— Tom King
Chris Hemsworth is like Christopher Reeve in that he can do two things: he can wear a big red cape without a shred of self-consciousness. But he's also funny as hell, and he's so sweet. So with all the fish-out-of-water stuff, he's so funny. So he does almost two jobs in a way.
I've always really enjoyed sounds and alliteration and funny words and funny melodies.
Your name is a funny thing. It stands for what you're about, and everything I do is really about pride.
— Tom Ford
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
