I always have to come back to shows to take out the improvements actors have put in. Laughs are addictive, and sometimes they're good laughs, and sometimes they're bad laughs.

Scott Ellis

Both Self-restraint and Unrestraint are a matter of extremes as compared with the character of the mass of mankind; the restrained man shows more and the unrestrained man less steadfastness than most men are capable of.

Aristotle

Nothing perhaps affects man's character more than the company he keeps

J. C. Ryle

Nothing tells more about the character of a man than the things he makes fun of.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Man is more courageous, pugnacious, and energetic than woman, and has a more inventive genius. His brain is absolutely larger, but whether relatively to the larger size of his body, in comparison with that of woman, has not, I believe been fully ascertained. In woman the face is rounder; the jaws and the base of the skull smaller; the outlines of her body rounder, in parts more prominent; and her pelvis is broader than in man; but this latter character may perhaps be considered rather as a primary than a secondary sexual character. She comes to maturity at an earlier age than man.

Charles Darwin

I love the idea of seeing a character - I mean, there's nothing like seeing a character and having the huge detail and roundness that a character in a book can give you. It's so much more full than a character in a script can give you, isn't it?

Helen Baxendale

For a man learns more quickly and remembers more easily that which he laughs at, than that which he approves and reveres.

Horace

Nothing is more difficult and nothing requires more character than to find oneself in open opposition to ones time (and those one loves) and to say loudly: No!

Kurt Tucholsky

Nothing is more destructive of individual character than for a man to lose all faith in his own abilities for the prosecution of his work.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

For of all gainful professions, nothing is better, nothing more pleasing, nothing more delightful, nothing better becomes a well-bred man than #? agriculture

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The manner of giving shows the character of the giver, more than the gift itself.

Johann Kaspar Lavater

Never does a man portray his character more vividly than when proclaiming the character of another.

Winston Churchill

When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies on His side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to find Him. And, in fact, He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others—not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight, though it has no favourites, cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one.

C. S. Lewis

Nothing guarantees more the erosion of character than getting something for nothing

Dennis Prager

My roles in comedies from 'Austin Powers' to 'Tommy Boy' to 'Wayne's World,' were sort of comedic 'straight man' parts. My character on 'Parks & Recreation' is the comic relief in a comedy. To play a character that appears strictly for laughs is sort of new for me and really fun.

Rob Lowe

There's nothing I hate more than canceling shows.
