A Quote by George Carlin

I became a guy who wanted to be a comedian someday, or a comic actor. The way I put it was, I'll be like Danny Kaye. He was kind of the model I had in mind.

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

Whereas 'OddParents' was slam-bam and silly all the way through, 'Danny Phantom' has more of a good-guy-vs.-bad-guy comic book feel.

Butch Hartman

There's a difference between being a comic and a comedian. A comic is a guy who says funny things, and a comedian is a guy who says things funny, and he has a style and point of view that will last much longer.

Milton Berle

I used to eat Danny Kaye's food. I had his Chinese and Italian meals, and that was as good as it gets.

Joel Grey

I can't say what Danny Kaye is like in private life. There are too many of them.

Danny Kaye

If I had the gift of Jerry Seinfeld, of Bill Cosby, of Lewis Black, these instinctively brilliant comic minds, then you go that route! But you gotta know your limitations. I'm more of an actor, more of a process guy. I did Tom Snyder, just as Danny Aykroyd did on 'SNL.' I did it in the club.

Joe Piscopo

When I saw John Turturro in 'Danny and the Deep Blue Sea,' I realized that was the kind of actor I wanted to be.

Bobby Cannavale

I hate Danny Kaye movies.

Dick Cavett

Kaye: You know what the sun looks like? Janet: No, What? Kaye: Like he slit his wrists in a bathtub and the blood is all over the water. Janet: That's gross, Kaye. Kaye: And the moon is just watching. She's just watching him die. She must have driven him to it.

Holly Black

Since I worked with Danny Boyle before on Slumdog Millionaire, we have great success and everything. So, when I first got the script and the screenplay of Simon (Beaufoy) and I was reading it, even before the shoot, some kind of sounds came into my mind and I put some stuff [down] and sent it to Danny when he was cutting the movie.

A. R. Rahman

I like movies in particular, on video or T.V. I have lots of old favorites, like Danny Kaye in 'The Court Jester' or 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' or James Stewart in 'Winchester '73.' But I also like a lot of modern films.

Garth Nix

I told them I wanted to be a comedian, and they laughed; I became a comedian, no one's laughing now

Bob Monkhouse

He was wearing a plain white oxford unbuttoned over a T-shirt, but something about the way they fit made him look put together, like an Abercrombie model (well, like an Abercrombie model who had remembered to put on a shirt that morning).

Claire LaZebnik

I always loved comedy growing up - Bob Hope, Red Skelton and Danny Kaye.

Fred Willard

I wanted to be an actor. Maybe a comic actor, but an actor. That's what got me into acting was putting on an act, because in life, I wasn't funny and I felt on stage or in the movies, I could do whatever I wanted to. I was free.

Gene Wilder

I wanted to empower other people and prove even with invisible conditions like mine that you can achieve things if you put your mind to it and work hard. So I definitely see myself as a role model in some weird and wonderful way.
