A Quote by Gail Carriger

I like to spoof the original Gothic classics, so there is also good dose of comedy in the 'Parasol Protectorate' - giggling readers are good.

I'm also doing a special for Comedy Central called Autobiography. It's going to be a spoof of Biography.

Kathy Griffin

You need a good editor because every writer thinks he can write a War and Peace, but by the time he gets it on paper, it's not War and Peace anymore; it's comic-book stuff. Your manuscript is both good and original. But the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good.

Samuel Johnson

I hate the word gothic but I would like to try doing something like that. A gothic sound, not rock, but gothic. There's a difference.

Kelly Osbourne

I would love to do a comedy spoof, like a Spinal Tap kind of thing.

Matthew McGrory

You cannot invent an algorithm that is as good at recommending books as a good bookseller, and that's the secret weapon of the bookstore - is that no algorithm will ever understand readers the way that other readers can understand readers.

John Green

And doing so you can recreate yourself and you can also come up with something that is not only original and creative and artistic, but also maybe even decent, or moral if I can use words like that, or something that's like basically good.

Lester Bangs

An actor who is good at comedy can also be very good at drama, but not necessarily vice versa.

Desi Arnaz

Every spoof gives more power to the original.

Shepard Fairey

Spin the parasol three times and repeat after me: I shield in the name of fashion. I accessorize for one and all. Pursuit of truth is my passion. This I vow by the great parasol.

Big comedy is good, I like things that are big, but good comedy has to be truthful I think and has to reflect some sort of reality.

Steve Coogan

I don't know if there's a problem with original ideas... I think a healthy film industry should have a good supply of good, original writing.

Colin Firth

Your manuscript is both good and original; but the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good.

Samuel Johnson

To maintain good health requires good nutrition and a healthy dose of exercise.

DeBarra Mayo

If you look at Gothic detailing right down to the bottom of a column or the capital of a column, it's a small version of the whole building; that's why, like dating the backbones of a dinosaur, a good historian can look at a detail of a Gothic building and tell you exactly what the rest of the building was, and infer the whole from the parts.

Charles Jencks

Mention the gothic, and many readers will probably picture gloomy castles and an assortment of sinister Victoriana. However, the truth is that the gothic genre has continued to flourish and evolve since the days of Bram Stoker, producing some of its most interesting and accomplished examples in the 20th century - in literature, film and beyond.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

It's very hard to find a good comedy. I prefer doing comedy far over anything else because I think they're actually more profound. But finding a good one and a great ensemble is very difficult to do and I'm delighted that in these particular times there is so much interest in comedy and that comedy is having so much success.

Sigourney Weaver
