I'd rather do comedy. I'd rather make people laugh than cry.

Lucy DeVito

Laugh. Laugh as much as you can. Laugh until you cry. Cry until you laugh. Keep doing it even if people are passing you on the street saying, "I can't tell if that person is laughing or crying, but either way they seem crazy, let's walk faster." Emote. It's okay. It shows you are thinking and feeling.

Ellen DeGeneres

A grave aspect to a grave character is of much more consequence than the world is generally aware of; a barber may make you laugh, but a surgeon ought rather to make you cry.

Henry Fielding

The public is composed of numerous groups whose cry to us writers is: 'Comfort me.' 'Amuse me.' 'Touch my sympathies.' 'Make me sad.' 'Make me dream.' 'Make me laugh.' 'Make me shiver.' 'Make me weep.' 'Make me think.'

Guy de Maupassant

I'm kinda rather make people laugh I guess or cry or whatever but bragging about what I have for me personally uncharacteristic I guess.

Eminem

comedy ... is much harder to do than drama. It's not true that laugh and the world laughs with you. It's very hard to make a group of people laugh at the same thing; much easier to make them cry at the same thing. ... That's why great comic acting is probably the greatest acting there is.

Glenda Jackson

Demons do not cry. You became a demon, because you couldn't cry anymore right? Humans cry and when their tears finally run dry, there's nothing left, not a demon nor a monster and one final prayer for death. So, laugh demon. Laugh that arrogant laugh of your and remember I beat you to it.

Alexander Anderson

Comedy is much more difficult than tragedy-and a much better training, I think. It's much easier to make people cry than to make them laugh.

Vivien Leigh

It's much easier to make people cry than to laugh.

Vivien Leigh

No one can make me cry Make me laugh Make me smile Or drive me mad like she does

Kenny Chesney

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun.

Billy Joel

What I strive to do is to make the theater experience something that people remember and recall rather than dismiss because it was less like their everyday experiences. So, I'm less interested in internal emotionalism and much more in making the audience laugh and cry by the devices that we use as theater actors.

Roger Rees

I always say if music can't make you cry, you're a hopeless case. I don't cry very much myself, but it's my job to make you cry.

Linda Ronstadt

What I always do is go with the stories that put up the hair on the back of my neck or make me cry or make me laugh.

Beth Macy

I took an acting class. After the first day, the teacher quit, so they said take another. When I saw 'How to be a Stand-up Comedian,' it resonated. I realized I'd rather make 200 people laugh than make one person cry.
