Sometimes comics will make the observation that it's not jokes that are funny it's characters that are funny. And isn't that true! That's why I always kill jokes. I'm terrible at them because I get the joke right but I can't get the character right and it just goes down like a lead balloon.

There's always something funny about men chasing women.

For some reason and I don't know why but I don't think that I'm funny in California. So I always want to do my movies east somewhere.

Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny but working with him I found him to be a very serious man. Whereas the films of Hitchcock are macabre he could be a very funny man to work with always telling jokes and holding court. Of course when I worked with Charlie he was getting older.

One lion thinks it's just hilarious to tackle us. He's very funny about it... and we always know when it will happen.

I think it's always funny when you see kids do Shakespeare.

I've always enjoyed making people laugh. But in order for me to be funny I have to get ticked off about something.

It's interesting that whenever I meet some of the other Bond girls I always have something in common and it is an interesting sorority. We all share about our Bonds. 'Did your Bond do that?' 'Yes mine did!' So it is quite funny conversations. We may as well be in high school.

For years it's driven me crazy that women don't have better roles especially in comedies. I know so many funny women but I always felt... misogynist streak is too strong a term - but a dismissiveness.
