The great tragedy of life is not that people set their sights too high and fail to achieve their goals but that they set their sights too low and do.

Michelangelo

I have a problem being called a comedian. An actor must never be typecast in one way or the other.

Rajpal Yadav

Set your sights not just on the next few weeks ... set your sights on the years ahead - because our vision will look that far ahead.

William Rainey Harper

There are few lonelier sights than a good comedian being funny in a movie that doesn't know what funny is.

Roger Ebert

I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.

Jonah Hill

One of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I'm a comedian, which I'm not. A comedian is someone who can stand up in front of an audience and make you laugh. I've never done stand-up and I never will. I'm a comic actor. My comedy comes through my characters.

Eugene Levy

I didn't want to be a comedian. I wanted to be an actor - maybe a comic actor, but a real actor - by real, I mean not a comedian. I wanted to be an actor.

Gene Wilder

I never really set out to be a comedian, but as a kid, I loved doing sketches and playing characters. And then a great friend kept telling me I should be a comedian, so I followed her advice and gave it a shot.

Jerrod Carmichael

The thing is, I was never really a comedian - a comedian would scoff at the notion of me as a comedian because I've never done anything, really. I've always just been some guy who's funny.

Lil Dicky

Harold Lloyd was not a comedian. But he was the finest actor to play a comedian that I ever saw.

Hal Roach

I became an actor kind of by accident. I was in musical theater and I got a job as an actor in a play and kept going. But I never set out to be an actor; it happened over time.

Christopher Walken

If you find yourself born in Barnsley and then set your sights on being Virginia Woolf it is not going to be roses all the way.

Alan Bennett

I've never considered myself a comedian. I'm a comedic actor.

Samuel L. Jackson

What's the good thing about being an actor, you can do more things. Not just being a comedian, not going overboard but expressing myself within the confines of a film.

Brandon T. Jackson

I wanted to be like an actor or a comedian for a little while, because I was always wanting to make people laugh, and being stupid, so I never thought I'd be doing a job where you always have to look nice, and polished and sophisticated.
