People can cry much easier than they can change, a rule of psychology people like me picked up as kids on the street.

James Baldwin

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

I can't speak for other people, but I still hate losing. When I did lose, I found it easier to yell than to cry. Guys aren't supposed to cry, are they?

John McEnroe

It's much easier to write a solemn book than a funny book. It's harder to make people laugh than it is to make them cry. People are always on the verge of tears.

Fran Lebowitz

It is always much easier, I have discovered, to make people cry or gasp than to make them think.

Golda Meir

It's much easier for me to cry and do all those things on the stage than in real life.

June Brown

I almost never cry, and it's something I don't like about myself. I sometimes try and make myself cry. Sometimes, when I'm in pain, I say if I could just cry it would make it so much easier.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

People can get information - on entertainment, politics, finance - much easier than before. That will change the way people do business, the way people live.

Robin Li

It is my judgment that any man or woman can do more to conform to the laws of God in one year in this life than they could do in ten years when they are dead. The spirit can only repent and change, and then the battle has to go forward with the flesh afterwards. It is much easier to overcome and serve the Lord when both flesh and spirit are combined as one. This is the time when men are more pliable and susceptible. We will find when we are dead every desire, every feeling will be greatly intensified. When clay is pliable it is much easier to change than when it gets hard and sets.

Melvin J. Ballard

It's easier to change what you do than people think it is. If you don't change, your field changes around you.

Walter Gilbert

It's easier to change the game than to change the people playing it.

Bernie De Koven

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.
