» Fred A. Allen (1894-1956) American comedian

We mustn't complain too much of being comedians, it's an honorable profession. If only we could be good ones the world might gain at least a sense of style. We have failed, that's all. We are bad comedians, we aren't bad men.

» Graham Greene (1904-1991) English writer

» Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) Austro-German poet

Monty Python crowd; half of them came from Cambridge, and half of them came from Oxford. But, there seems to be this jewel, this sort of two headed tradition of doing comedy, of doing sketches, and that kind of thing.

» Rowan Atkinson (1956-?) English Comedian

In TV, and in particular in commercials, you don't really need to explain very much at all - you just say he's a spy and he's a little bit theatrical and overblown and smug and he's not very good at his job.

» Rowan Atkinson (1956-?) English Comedian

Confronting a stadium audience, you can't see the whites of their eyes. It's just an amorphous mass of noise and, of course, you can't see the alleged billions watching at home either, so the degree to which you are intimidated is quite low.

» Rowan Atkinson (1956-?) English Comedian

And I did laugh sans intermission an hour by his dial. O noble fool, a worthy fool, motley's the only wear.

» William Penn (1644-1718) British religious leader

I mean I can do it when I'm very relaxed, and with good friends, then I think I can be amusing.

» Rowan Atkinson (1956-?) English Comedian

Comedy naturally wears itself out - destroys the very food on which it lives; and by constantly and successfully exposing the follies and weaknesses of mankind to ridicule, in the end leaves itself nothing worth laughing at.

» William Faulkner (1897-1962) American novelist and short-story Writer['As I Lay Dying', 'Absalom, Absalom!' Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949]
