So often I read scripts and am like 'This would never happen in real life. It's not trying to be funny. It's trying to be serious.'

I always just wanted to be funny. I never really planned to be scary.

When it comes to war we focus more on the mainstream coverage of the event rather than the event itself. People dying is never funny. Protest puppets are always funny.

Even as a kid I was never the generator of humor but I always knew who was funny who to hang out with.

I actually was class clown but I don't know how that happened because I've never been considered an outwardly funny person.

I actually was class clown but I don't know how that happened because I've never been considered an outwardly funny person-as the people in this room will attest.

I really don't know what makes a comedian. I think it's a family background and environment. Yet if you put the same ingredients in another person he may never utter a funny line.

I had seen movies before that that had made me laugh but I had never seen anything even remotely close to as funny as Richard Pryor was just standing there talking.

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.

I've never really understood that. It's a funny thing people sometimes accuse us of condescending to our characters somehow-that to me is kind of inexplicable.
