I think of myself as a comedian who has the pleasure of writing jokes about things that I actually care about. And that`s really it. You know, if I really wanted to enact social change… I have great respect for people who are in the front lines and the ...
Jon Stewart
It`s very awkward to be kind of big in your own field. It limits what you`re offered. People are swayed by the fact that you`re a comedian or a musician or whatever they think you are. When it comes to choosing you, they get a bit shaky about offering you...
Billy Connolly
I guess I still feel that I`m a comedian; if I had to pick one thing that I feel like I could do, it would be that. That doesn`t mean that I like it, but I feel that`s what I am.
Larry David
[On Charles Chaplin]: The greatest compliment I ever got was from Chaplin. He came up to me and said `I wish I could talk like you on the screen.` I said `I think you`re doing alright.` He had made $50 million by that point. He was the best comedian we ev...
Groucho Marx
(on his brief experience as a stand-up comedian) I did ten gigs at the very beginning. Five were amazing, and five were the worst moments of my life.
Nick Frost
[Talking about Burt Reynolds]: "As well as being my, and the world`s favorite light comedian, Burt is a very considerate and thoughtful man".
Cary Grant
I don`t make much distinction between being a stand-up comic and acting Shakespeare - in fact, unless you`re a good comedian, you`re never going to be able to play Hamlet properly.
Ian McKellen
I spent more time in America, but I developed a very English sense of humour. I clicked into it deeply with Peter Sellers, who is still probably my favourite comedian. I loved The Goons and then I got into "Beyond the Fringe" and by accident I met Jonatha...
Christopher Guest
In high school, I was the class comedian as opposed to the class clown. The difference is, the class clown is the guy who drops his pants at the football game, the class comedian is the guy who talked him into it.

On Johnny Carson: Johnny Carson is a comedian who is seen every night in millions of bedrooms all over America...and that`s why his last wife left him.
Dean Martin
(Recalling a personal encounter with comedian Jerry Seinfeld): "When my show, "Get a Life" (1990), first aired on Fox and "Seinfeld" (1990) first aired, it was around the same time. Surprisingly, "Get a Life" (1990) was doing slightly better. Jerry and I ...
Chris Elliott
I`ve never actually considered myself a comedian, even though I started off in stand-up and then got the part in The Office, which was obviously a comic role. So I would say it`s not a conscious decision to move away from comedy, but just to try different...
Mackenzie Crook
(On college) "I knew that I wanted to be a performer of some sort, like an actress or a comedian, when I was really young, so I worked for that."
Amanda Bynes
I always say about my daughters, they save me from my miserable self. They take me out, you know, a comedian, you could live in your head a lot. And you`re writing and you`re doubting. But when I`m with my kids and my family, it`s all about them.
Chris Rock
I wanted to be like an actor or a comedian for a little while, because I was always wanting to make people laugh, and being stupid, so I never thought I`d be doing a job where you always have to look nice, and polished and sophisticated.
Gemma Ward
How do I say this without sounding like an egomaniac?. I don`t know a comedian that sells more seats than me in the red states and blue states, so I don`t see where I have to change that much.
Chris Rock
I just like observing people-it`s something I`ve done ever since I was a kid, and I got really good at it. That`s a big part of why I became a comedian. My audience is filled with every kind of person you can imagine, and I love that. (Redbook, January 20...
Ellen DeGeneres
God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
Voltaire
