Quote by -Will Ferrell
When you're doing an out-and-out comedy, the notion of preparing for a character - I hope I don't reveal too much of myself here - but, uh, no, I'm not doing anything.
Quote by -Will Ferrell
All you have in comedy, in general, is just going with your instincts. You can only hope that other people think that what you think is funny is funny. I don't have an answer but I just try to plough straight ahead.
Quote by -Will Ferrell
When I first started doing sketch comedy, I promised myself that if I were ever to have any success in this business, I wouldn't hold back. Why get there and play it safe?
Quote by -Will Ferrell
A lot of people have gotten into comedy because of certain influences in their lives or events that were painful, and I really have wracked my brain to figure it out. I pretty much have had a normal childhood. Maybe it was too normal.
Quote by -Will Ferrell
For people who have done comedy after a certain point in time, I think there's a base level of, 'O.K., I think I'm decently funny.' But unless you just have some massive ego, I really think you're still fighting against that.
Quote by -Will Ferrell
Saturday Night Live is such a comedy boot camp in a way, because you get to work with so many different people who come in to host the show and you get thrown into so many situations and learn how to think on your feet, so filmmaking actually feels slow, in a good way.
Quote by -Will Ferrell
I think a lot of the instincts you have doing comedy are really the same for doing drama, in that it's essentially about listening. The way I approach comedy, is you have to commit to everything as if it's a dramatic role, meaning you play it straight.
Quote by -Will Ferrell
Your comedy and mine will have been played then, and we shall be removed
Quote by -William Makepeace
I think, in comedy, timing is everything. You and I could tell the same joke, but if one of our timing is off, it won't be as funny. You've gotta know when to deliver your punch-lines.
Quote by -Clifford Joseph Harris Jr
While awaiting sentencing, I decided to give stand-up comedy a shot. The judge had suggested I get my act together, and I took him seriously.
Quote by -Tim Allen
I was actually looking at comedies and wondered, 'Why is every comedy for a women a romantic one? I was so done! Then I said, 'Could I look at every script Jim Carrey rejected?' It didn't center around me getting a man.

One of the great things with comedy is that there's no such thing as a mediocre comedy; it's either uproarious or crap. That's the problem.
Quote by -Sir Michael Caine
Comedy is underrepresented in every actor's life, because it's so bloody difficult to write.
Quote by -Sir Michael Caine
Do you know what I like about comedy? You can’t laugh and be afraid at the same time—of anything. If you're laughing, I defy you to be afraid.
Quote by -Stephen Colbert
I was playing a lot of bigger, sort-of-comedic characters in slightly heightened realities, and it had been so fun and fulfilling for a long time. But it got to a point where I just felt like I didn't have that in me anymore.
Quote by -Ari Graynor
More and more, people probably associate me in this world of comedy and these confident, brassy, big ladies, which I love, but my insides and who I feel like internally and the kind of work that I hope to continue doing feels very different from that.
Quote by -Ari Graynor
If I'm gonna stay in this world of comedy, then it has to be a really special character to me in a really smart piece of material.
Quote by -Ari Graynor
At 21, my career took a comedic turn when I was cast in a new Broadway play called 'Brooklyn Boy,' by Donald Margulies, which was equal parts funny and sad. I realized that the more seriously I expressed my character's feelings, the funnier the scene became.
Quote by -Ari Graynor
The real heart of comedy is uncovering a truth about yourself or about the world that you didn't see.
Quote by -Ari Graynor
I think the world of comedy is a relatively small community, and especially for women in comedy, there just aren't that many people involved.
Quote by -Ari Graynor
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.
Quote by -Ari Graynor

Quote by -Adam McKay
The hardest thing in the world to do is to have someone in a seat in a theater laughing so hard that they're making weird sounds.
