Crap has always happened, crap is happening, and crap will continue to happen.

Chuck Palahniuk

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.

Michael Caine

I realized that I really enjoy writing comedy, and how important comedy is when you feel like total crap.

Kathleen Hanna

The secret to comedy is not playing the comedy, but actually playing the situation, playing the drama of it.

Nathan Fillion

I'm not playing a comedy. I want to be playing the truth of the moment, and then have the comedy come out.

Zooey Deschanel

I will do comedy until the day I die: inappropriate comedy, funny comedy, gender-bending, twisting comedy, whatever comedy is out there.

Sandra Bullock

I think generally playing live is a crap idea. So much of stage work is the presentation of personality, and I've never been interested in that.

Brian Eno

That to me is a bunch of crap trying to shoot guys up into damned space. What they're going to do is they're going to wipe out half a dozen people one of these days, and that will be the end of it.

Chuck Yeager

I suddenly realized that comedy, for me, was just being honest, and playing it for real. I've seen so many wonderful actors who turn into creatures from another planet when they're told they are supposed to be playing comedy.

Bea Arthur

Any film you make is a crap shoot.

Robert Englund

I was never really that worried about being a member of the Sopranos crew. I think it looks kind of fun to not have to work, to not have to take crap from anybody. And then there's the reality check in there, which is that you do have to work, you do have to take crap from people, and you can fail, and all these other things.

Matthew Weiner

I remember playing in Union City, and we had crap games after we finished playing at night. We would go next door to the cab stand where they were playing gin rummy and betting $1,000 a hand.

Frank Vincent

Those who want to be serious photographers, you're really going to have to edit your work. You're going to have to understand what you're doing. You're going to have to not just shoot, shoot, shoot. To stop and look at your work is the most important thing you can do.

Annie Leibovitz

There's comedy in tragedy, and tragedy in comedy. There's always light and dark in most jobs. Whether it's framed as a comedy, drama or tragedy, you try to mix it up within that. You can work on a comedy and it's not laugh-a-minute off set. You can work on a tragedy that's absolutely hilarious.

Harry Treadaway

Most modern comedy is crap.

Adrian Edmondson

With comedy, you never know until you put it in front of an audience. You shoot it and a year later you have no idea if it's going to work. And then you get the response. It's great when it's good.

Steve Martin
