Comedy actually is quite difficult to do. The timing, the tone, the delivery, and the precise expressions are all very crucial, especially for actresses, because we are not given the author-backed punches.

Nushrat Bharucha

Comedy's easy for me now - it's all about timing and the way you deliver lines. I use facial expressions to get the point across.

Melissa Joan Hart

Comedy isn't necessarily all dialogue. Think of Buster Keaton: the poker face and all this chaos going on all around him. Sometimes it's a question of timing, of the proper rhythm.

Clint Eastwood

With comedy it's all about timing and presence on screen, as the words are there but you have to say them right and the right timing.

Michelle Keegan

Character artist, villain, comedian, comedy villain, hero - he has been perfect in them all. That's Mohan Babu. His dialogue delivery is perfect.

Brahmanandam

A lot of things matter in comedy - the script, the lines, your timing, the co-actor's timing, how it's shot.

Jitendra Kumar

The funny thing about The West Wing is - and I don't know what Aaron Sorkin says about it - but I'm convinced it was a comedy. It's a very intellectual and cerebral comedy, but it was SportsNight in the White House. It had an energy and a vitality and an intelligence and a passion that's rare. And it was extremely difficult to do, because they were so demanding about the dialogue.

Tim Matheson

I think, in comedy, timing is everything. You and I could tell the same joke, but if one of our timing is off, it won't be as funny. You've gotta know when to deliver your punch-lines.

T.I.

It took me a good eight to ten years to really formulate what I was doing onstage and start to get really personal with comedy. I always really had timing naturally, it was just about trying to figure out how that timing was going to work onstage.

Sebastian Maniscalco

Every time I think about writing, comedy doesn't interest me in the slightest. I can play comedy, but I don't think in terms of comic dialogue.

Jim Parsons

Comedy and music are so similar because it's all about timing.

Josh Groban

Preston Sturges is one of my favorites. I learned about dialogue and timing from him - louder, faster, funnier. But I do love Mel Brooks.

Clara Mamet

I like comedy a lot, and dramatics show how I can really act. Because a lot of people can do comedy - I'm not saying it's easy, but dramatics are very hard.

Cayden Boyd

Being on 'The Office' prepared me for drama. Comedy got me ready, but once you get down to it, they're two sides of the same thing. I mean, the delivery has to be different - in drama, there's more time to breathe, and comedy's all about hitting the joke.

Craig Robinson

Good acting is confused with good dialogue delivery. Acting is about all about performance, and the way we interpret and understand the character that we bring alive onscreen.
