Only comedians can talk about death, life, God and Virgin Mary. If I was a tragic actor, I couldn't allow myself. But with this accent I can do it. I can talk with death in person because I am a clown. Yes. And I am proud to be a clown - very much.

Roberto Benigni

Be a clown , be a clown, All the world loves a clown. Act the fool , play the calf, And you'll always have the last laugh .

I took a couple of classes in clowning, but that was more like Lucille Ball kind of slapstick, not Ringling Brothers.

Nolan Gould

People are always saying that I must have been the class clown, with all these voices. No, I was way too shy to be the class clown; I was a class clown's writer.

Tom Kenny

I was a class clown. My father was a class clown. My son has been a class clown, and it sort of ran in the family.

Robert Klein

I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments.

Jim Morrison

I really wanted people to pay attention to me and like me. And the class clown thing, you know? There's a weird desperation to the class clown when you really investigate it. Why are they trying to be the clown so much? They're filling some kind of hole.
