I am very attracted to funny people - I'd go so far as to say I find it hard to trust unfunny people.
Oh all the time when Victoria Wood and I did our series. There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?'
There's only one true superpower amongst human beings, and that is being funny. People treat you differently if you can make them laugh.
There is definitely a pressure for funny people to be funny. People want them to perform all the time.
I need to be cheered up a lot. I think funny people are people who need to be cheered up.
I find my fans are really funny people. Most comedians can't say that about their fans.
If you are a great dramatic actor then you often don't know if people are enjoying your stuff at all because they are sitting there in silence. But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.

When I was a kid, I never did funny things to get attention. I was never a funny person. I was never, like, 'Oh, wow. I could say this some day on stage.'
I'm a funny person, but I take my music seriously.
Mariah is a beautiful and talented person, and I've had a crush on her for as long as I can remember. Every day, my respect for Mariah continues to grow higher. She's a caring, warm and funny person. People have no idea how funny she is! I feel like I've always known she was my forever love.
I always felt that it was easier to take a funny person and teach them to write television than to take somebody who was a television writer and make them funny. And I discovered a lot of great writers that went on to do a lot of great shows like 'Seinfeld,' 'Friends,' you know, 'Three and a Half Men.'
I've never met a funny person who wasn't smart. I've met a lot of dramatic people who were stupid. But I've never met a funny person who wasn't smart.
I was always a funny person. I thought I would play some good ball, and the Harlem Globetrotters would see me, and that would be it - fame.
I don't think I'm a funny person in general. I have had to learn comedy.
I never thought of myself as like, a funny person.
As a kid, I thought of myself as a funny person who secretly wanted to be serious, but now I think maybe I'm a serious person who secretly wants to be funny.
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 entitled to be serious, you're a clown.
I'm not interested in being one of those comedians who wants to look good and be this 'cool' funny person. I don't care how weird or ugly I look.
Fans, when they see me, they're like, 'Rah, he's a real funny person,' but everyone who grew up with me is like, 'Rah, that's Fat Tyrone.'
