My songs are personal music, they're not communal. I wouldn't want people singing along with me. It would sound funny. I'm not playing campfire meetings. I don't remember anyone singing along with Elvis, Carl Perkins or Little Richard.

Bob Dylan

An old-codger comedy - that's what I want to do.

Wes Studi

'Entourage' was a show that existed around wish-fulfillment. People watched it because they wanted to believe they could go on private jets and be hanging out in Hollywood, but as a show, comedically, it was not funny. Not a funny show. It's funny, ironically, because of how terrible it is.

Adam Pally

I want someone that's caring, funny, who's similar to me - who doesn't take life too seriously - keeps their private life private and is mature!

Maura Higgins

That word 'funny' always makes me feel uncomfortable. Because if I were trying to be funny, I would be something like Bill Wegman - he really tries to be funny. I don't try to be funny. It's just that I feel the world is a little bit absurd and off-kilter, and I'm sort of reporting.

John Baldessari

Redd Foxx was the same gruff old codger you saw on television.

Charley Pride

I've learned that social media and our private lives, you know, our private lives are not so private anymore, so it takes a little bit of getting used to.

Jeremy Lin

The problem is that we live in an uptight country. Why don't we just laugh at ourselves? We are funny. Gays are funny. Straights are funny. Women are funny. Men are funny. We are all funny, and we all do funny things. Let's laugh about it.

Bob Newhart

I've always been someone who's kept my private life a little private. When there's a ring on my finger, I'll talk about it.

Priyanka Chopra

The Side Effects of Dying in Your Pants isn't really funny… Alright, it's a little funny.

John Green

My job changes very little because I've found that the more you try to be funny, the less funny you become.

Nathan Fillion

Snoop Dogg is hilarious. T.I. is really funny. Who else? 50 Cent is hilarious. Jay-Z is funny. I've met him, but he's funny in interviews. He was funny when I saw him, too. Ludacris is funny. Everybody is. Rappers are funny, a lot of them.

Jay Pharoah

Fifteen birds in five firtrees, their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze! But, funny little birds, they had no wings! O what shall we do with the funny little things? Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot; fry them, boil them and eat them hot?

J. R. R. Tolkien

I am somebody who has never been able to give up '60s habits. I am the inevitable old codger on the dance floor.

Simon Schama

It's very difficult once you've been on telly because people know what you do. They give you a little bit of grace but then they're harsher if you're not funny, so you have to be funny.

Noel Fielding

Each photograph is read as the private appearance of its referent: the age of Photography corresponds precisely to the explosion of the private into the public, or rather into the creation of a new social value, which is the publicity of the private: the private is consumes as such, publicly.

Roland Barthes
