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.

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

Jitendra Kumar

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

I am genuinely interested in comedy and I know that I have good comic timing as well.

Neena Gupta

I don't know if I have actually good comedic timing. But I don't think I've worked at any timing. I think timing is probably something you can't work at. Well, I don't know. I definitely didn't work at it.

Mary McCormack

When you're doing comedy on stage, it's great because you have the audience there and they're like another actor in the scene. You feed off of them, laugh. But in film when everyone's quiet, it's all about timing. But the key to that is to be authentic. Be in the moment, and if you play the moment truthfully, the humor will be there.

Wendell Pierce

I think that comedy really tells you how it is. The other thing about comedy is that - you don't even know if you're failing in drama, but you do know when you're failing in comedy. When you go to a comedy and you don't hear anybody laughing, you know that you've failed.

Carl Reiner

Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.

Larry Hagman

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.
