As she came closer to him she noticed that there was a clean fresh scent of heather and grass and leaves about him, almost as if he were made of them. She liked it very much and when she looked into his funny face with the red cheeks and round blue eyes she forgot that she had felt shy. - Frances Hodgson Burnett She wished she could talk as he did. His speech was so quick and easy. It sounded as if he liked her and was not the least afraid she would not like him, though he was only a common moor boy, in patched clothes and with a funny face and a rough, rusty-red head. - Frances Hodgson Burnett I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing 'Funny Face' when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it. - Audrey Hepburn She always called him Luca, in the Italian manner, and said it with that funny trans-European intonation, the accent ...

Everything bleeds into everything and fiction is just this funny desperate little attempt to staunch the bleeding. - Meghan Lamb I love the script and I just thought it was a great role. Like I say, it's like this - the script is like this sad, funny, desperate love song to the lost American man. - Oliver Platt

Artemis: I am not buoyed by that. Foaly: You are not supposed to be buoyed by that. You are supposed to be equalized. Mulch: I'm pretty sure that both of you just made really horrible jokes. But I'm not sure because I think you broke my funny bone. - Eoin Colfer You know who DOES have a funny bone in her body? Your Mom every night for a dollar! - Tina Fey You know what's not funny? Funny bones. No, at best they are only mildly amusing. - Jarod Kintz To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone. - Reba Mcentire Comedy, your funny bone, is formed in childhood. - Paul Ogrady Is your butt buzzing? Cole, you have the worst timing! I jerked upright, tring to pull my phone out of my pocket and managing instead to bang my elbow against the wall. Ow! Oh, shit that hurts! You know, the guy who decided it should be a funny bone was just a freaking masochist. Or is it a sadist? I always get those mixed up. - Jennifer Rardin A fellow who has ...

The police never find it as funny as you do.-T-Shirt - Darynda Jones What's so funny?' asked Peone. 'Catholic cops are funny,' said Lester. 'You were listening?' 'Yeah.' 'Yeah? Catholic Indians are funny.' 'There's lots of Catholic Indians.' 'There's lots of Catholic cops. - Sherman Alexie Madam Dorothea shot him a dark look. If you were half as funny as you thought you were, my boy, you'd be twice as funny as you are. - Cassandra Clare If you were half as funny as you think you are, you'd be twice as funny as you are now. - Cassandra Clare To me, I've never understood why there is any question about are women as funny as men. - Judd Apatow No, no, I was only funny on stage, really. I, I, think I was funny as a person toward my classmates when I was very young. You know, when I was a child, up to about the age of 12. - Rowan Atkinson What's so funny? (Astrid) I'm just thinking, here I am a slave who ...

He was wearing a look that she found odd and compelling - that amusement that didn't seem to pass beyond the surface of his features, as he found everything in the world both infinitely funny and infinitely tragic all at the same time. - Cassandra Clare Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is a form of service journalism. To be successful, I think it has to be a combination of a good story, it has to be funny, and it also needs to be packed with useful information. - Ted Allen Like with Parks and Recreation, it's so much fun because the people writing it are funny and they're open and you just go in there and have a good time. It's pretty much the easiest job I've ever had. - Aziz Ansari Evan Handler is a man who's looked into the abyss and laughed. His book, It's Only Temporary, made me laugh along with him. He covers love, lust, showbiz, triumph, and despair and he manages to be both funny and inspiring about all of it. It's an important book that I thi...

I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience. I'm not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts. And I'm certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions. - Rowan Atkinson I didn't plan to be the rude middle-class comedian. You write a certain type of joke that you find funny, and mine happen to be often rude. Yes, it's juvenile, but that's me. - Jimmy Carr I love sketch comedy. My real goal is to do something with Albert Brooks. That would be my fantasy. I stay up night and day thinking up stuff he might find funny. - Illeana Douglas In comedy, though, it's good to get feedback from the audience about what they find funny. - Bobby Farrelly I think a lot of stuff I find funny is from day dreaming. - Demetri Martin I have no idea what I'm going to say when I stand up to give a toast. But I do know that anything I say I find funny. -...

The inventory process and stepping back in your life can sometimes be a very dark process. But it also can be extremely funny and surprising. - Craig Charles From Kelsey, I have learned among many other things the value of turning on a dime and how you can have an extremely funny and extremely poignant moment with absolutely no separation in between... and sometimes in the same moment. - David Hyde Pierce

Everything funny in a not-funny-at-all kind of way. Sarcasm as something you practiced like karate. Later concealing your mute fury when nobody fed you the opening lines. - Jonathan Lethem [Simone Weil's] life is almost a perfect blend of the Comic and the Terrible, which two things may be opposite sides of the same coin. In my own experience, everything funny I have written is more terrible than it is funny, or only funny because it is terrible, or only terrible because it is funny. - Flannery O Connor I mean, I'm married first of all to one of, if not the most wonderful women in the world. She is everything - funny, attractive, hard-working, she has integrity, she loves me to bits. - Seal I think I have a dark view of the world. I have to make everything funny, otherwise it all seems so sad. - Moon Unit Zappa

She's fifteen!" Nash shrugged. "That's just a number. It doesn't say anything about her." "It says something pretty damn funny about your IQ!" I said, and he opened his mouth to retort, but I spoke over him. "Fifteen is too young to drive, too young to get a legal job, too young to sign a lease, and obviously too young to pick a boyfriend with half a brain. - Rachel Vincent Ride?" Rhage snorted. "Please. That thing is a sewing machine with an air dam taped to it. My GTO could dust the fucker in fourth gear from a dead stop."When there was an odd sound from behind, John looked back. So did the three Brothers. "What." Xhex bristled and crossed her arms over her chest. "I can laugh, you know. And that's... pretty damn funny." Rhage beamed. "I knew I liked you. - J R Ward

If I can't see the humor in it, how am I going to be funny? - Casey Affleck The thing about For Better or Worse is the only thing that made me an okay director for that is that I have a sense of humor, and it was supposed to be funny. - Jason Alexander And write what you love - don't feel pressured to write serious prose if what you like is to be funny. - Cassandra Clare Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is a form of service journalism. To be successful, I think it has to be a combination of a good story, it has to be funny, and it also needs to be packed with useful information. - Ted Allen Sex is hard to write about because you lose the universal and succumb to the particular. We all have our different favorites. Good sex is impossible to write about. Lawrence and Updike have given it their all, and the result is still uneasy and unsure. It may be that good sex is something fiction just can't do--like dreams. Most of the sex in my novels is absolutely disastrous. Sex c...

I don't like you two going off on you won. Just remember: behave. If I hear about any funny business, I will ground you until the Styx freezes over. - Rick Riordan I don't want any funny business, and above all I don't want to be dragged into other people's funny business. If it's to be my head on the block, I want to know that it's doing there, and not that it's some stupid things that other people have done. - Hans Fallada It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business, as it were, and I use almost pure turpentine to start with, adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help, and that's my method. - Edward Hopper There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male,' and everyone gets an equal opportuni...

That pew became a confessional. There, with a fully clothed, fully present Kyle, he left his plans for lifelong commitment to only the Church in a smoldering pile. This woman, this broken, brave, perfect woman was what he needed. They talked againabout funny parishioners and childhood stories. Anything they thought, they said. - Debra Anastasia All I want to do is write songs about funny characters I made up. - Wes Borland For years I used to bore my wife over lunch with stories about funny incidents. - James Herriot

Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll buy a funny hat. Talk to a hungry man about fish, and you're a consultant. - Scott Adams Change is a funny thing. We never are quite sure what we are becoming or even why. Then one day we look at ourselves and wonder who we are and how we got that way. Only one thing about change remains constant...it is always painful - Jodi Picoult I'm always more motivated by the pain of a funny character than by what makes him funny. - Jason Alexander You know, it's a funny thing. The only Romance language Felipe doesn't happen to speak is Italian. But I go ahead and say it to him anyway, just as we're about to jump. I say: 'Attraversiamo.' Let's cross over. - Elizabeth Gilbert Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not ent...
