I have always hated biography, and more especially, autobiography. If biography, the writer invariably finds it necessary to plaster the subject with praises, flattery and adulation and to invest him with all the Christian graces. If autobiography, the same plan is followed, but the writer apologizes for it.

Carolyn Wells

My intent when I moved to L.A. was to get in good with the comedy clubs and, eventually, try to break into Comedy Central and have my half hour special.

Nico Santos

Every novel is a biography. Well, then, this is a novel [The Paper Men] which is a biography that is pretending to be an autobiography. That's what you could say about it.

William Golding

I like to spoof the original Gothic classics, so there is also good dose of comedy in the 'Parasol Protectorate' - giggling readers are good.

Gail Carriger

I was kind of relieved with the way the book [The Proud Highway] came out. It's beyond an autobiography or a biography. I never knew what was going to come up next.

Hunter S. Thompson

Then my first film was something called Cannibal Girls, which sounds like a horror movie but was actually kind of a goofy comedy with horror elements. Like a horror spoof.

Ivan Reitman

I kind of did this thing in high school, a spoof of 'Sweeney Todd' called 'Shirley Todd,' and I had a great time doing that.

Chris Colfer

There is no psychology; there is only biography and autobiography.

Thomas Szasz

I'm a student of Comedy Central. It launched careers: Wanda Sykes and even Kevin Hart. The first time I was introduced to him, he was on Comedy Central. It puts you on the map... Hollywood knows now.

Lil Rel Howery

I have a half-hour special on Comedy Central, but so many people have half-hour specials now, and it's not so 'special.'

Josh Blue

Being a female comic and getting a Comedy Central special is an honor because not a lot of women get that.

Loni Love

The biography of a writer - or even the autobiography - will always have this incompleteness.

V. S. Naipaul

There is no real escape from autobiography into biography. The self has to be faced, or we die.

Fay Weldon

I would love to do a comedy spoof, like a Spinal Tap kind of thing.

Matthew McGrory

I am a total sucker for an actor's autobiography/biography. I have probably read most of them.

Kate Fleetwood

It's funny because I think a lot of it is simply... We've never considered ourselves satirists, but because we're on Comedy Central and because we're South Park on Comedy Central, we can do any topic we want.

Trey Parker
