A comedian is someone who tells the truth. Truth is the set of all jokes told by all comedians in the world.
I think comedians have a function in society, which is to make fun of our icons.
I like LA because it has a giant supply of great comedians.
Comedians walk out, get a feel for the crowd. If it's not going good, we change directions. If we got to drag your momma into this thing, we will. Whatever we got to do.
Eddie Murphy is to comedians what Nicki Minaj is to Spanx.
Many comedians - both male and female - do have an "I will never date another comedian" rule.
Louis C. K. is one of my all time favorite standup comedians.
With comedians, you have that understanding that we're trying to get laughs.
For me and most of my friends who are comedians, if you've been doing comedy for a while, your tolerance for things actually moves. I find it very hard to be shocked, and when other people aggressively take offense to something, I'm sometimes confused.
I have to make good things so good comedians want to talk to me.
I would say most comedians have a very cynical worldview of the way the world can work. It's almost like if you didn't, you couldn't be a comedian.
Most comedians I know are quite serious, anxious people who find life rather difficult. As a consequence, they make people laugh.
But it's fun to be something, have that, and you don't have to be real. It's like, comedians. They go on and they're doing all these jokes. I would be like that if I were more awake
The best part is just having a partner. There is no real worst part. I'm not going to say there's a worst part. I mean I'm a comedian - comedians like to work alone. So maybe I'm not the ideal guy to be married to, in that sense.
comedians are people who say funny things, and comics are people who say things funny.
Phyllis Diller came through a mine field of male comedians when she arrived on the comedy scene and she defused them all. She won her place in the Hall of Comedy as the First Lady. I will miss her.
Many people are surprised to hear that we have comedians in Russia, but they are there. They are dead, but they are there.
Molly Shannon and I used to always talk about that we really felt strongly that we were comedic actors, that we weren't comedians. You just played things real and the comedy came out of the context.
I love standup comedians. I really do.
I'm glad that that era of stand-up is over, because I think it adversely affected a lot of people who could have been really, really great comedians. Because they unconsciously or subconsciously stifled their wild impulses, and were thinking about the five clean minutes for The Tonight Show, or the 20-minute sitcom pitch as a stand-up act.
