A Quote by Dick Cavett

I'm not freakishly short. I had, on my show, used shortness as a joke subject; it didn't really bother me.

I don't know if it's just me getting older, but things that used to bother me, or that I used to take personally, or maybe since going through a public divorce. I just like, really, it takes a lot to bother me nowadays.

Christina Anstead

It used to bother me when people called me a pussy. But the joke's on them - after all, you are what you eat!

Jon Schmidt

I had a show that people thought used a laugh track. It wasn't; it was the real audience going crazy after everything that resembled a joke, that they could technically call a joke.

Norm MacDonald

I don't mind being the butt of the joke... It doesn't really bother me. I quite enjoy it.

Ryan Seacrest

In the beginning, every little thing used to bother me. Now, even the worst sounding things sound like a joke because I've seen everything.

Ryan Higa

As far as outlining is concerned, I don't outline humor. I might right down a word or two to remind myself of a punch line I thought of, but the actual structure of a piece I really don't. I don't think it would really help me because for me the process is joke, joke, joke, joke.

Dave Barry

When I'm writing columns, it's - all I'm thinking about is jokes, joke, joke, joke, setup, punch line, joke, joke, joke. And I really don't care where it goes.

About a year after I moved to Los Angeles, I decided I wanted to be a joke writer for a late night talk show. So I met with a late night joke writer and he told me that I should start by doing stand-up comedy, because that would really hone my sense of humor and joke writing ability. Eventually I took a stand-up class and a few months later I had a seven-minute act.

I remember when I had my show [The Chris Rock Show on HBO], I used to run my show. It was so hard to get people to bring sketches to me. No one had ever worked for a black person before. Even the black people hadn't worked for a black person. It literally took a month or two for everybody to know: I'm really running the show.

Scott Raab

Oh, I have now a mania for shortness. Whatever I read - my own or other people's works - it all seems to me not short enough.

Anton Chekhov

I had a short run as the presenter of 'Cash in the Attic'. It's a very popular show but didn't really suit me.

Ben Fogle

It's really surreal when I play shows, I'll have three or four people who are in the front row who are singing every word to my songs. The first time I experienced that I was like,"Are they mocking me? Is this a joke?" But it's not a joke. They actually identify with my music and that is something that I'm getting used to.

Zella Day

My favorite subject probably was math. I love math. I think figures just intrigue me. I was really good at math. English probably was my worst subject, but I used to write a lot of poetry. I used to write poetry all the time.

When a guy would write some scathing article about me, that used to really bother me. I didn't get it. I'm like, What is that? You don't know me... That ate me up.
