It's funny because I was offered film parts the first week after 'The Office' went out. I was sent a script, and I said, 'Who's the lead?' They said, 'We want you to be.' And I said: 'Well, who's going to go and see that? You want John Cusack.'
Copy Quote View & ShareIt's funny looking at yourself. You know how it is when you look back at old pictures? It's just funny looking back at yourself walking and talking at age 14.
Copy Quote View & ShareI really, really like 'Eastbound & Down.' It's one of the few things that makes me laugh. It's almost too funny to get an award.
Copy Quote View & ShareI thought 'Borat' was a breakthrough comedy, because it was really funny. It wasn't some studio-produced script with 14 writers.
Copy Quote View & ShareThat word 'funny' always makes me feel uncomfortable. Because if I were trying to be funny, I would be something like Bill Wegman - he really tries to be funny. I don't try to be funny. It's just that I feel the world is a little bit absurd and off-kilter, and I'm sort of reporting.
Copy Quote View & ShareWith Edge and Christian, we were like 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure,' the Bill & Ted of WWE. We were kind of goofy, kind of funny, humorous, but then when we had to be serious in the ring, we would get serious.
Copy Quote View & ShareIt's funny: When I first heard they were thinking of me for the president in 'Independence Day,' I just assumed it was a comedy - I didn't exactly think of myself as leader-of-the-free-world material.
Copy Quote View & ShareI always felt like the best comedy came out of sadness, and some of my favourite shows growing up - a lot of my influences - have these very sad characters and treat that sadness seriously while also being very funny.
Copy Quote View & ShareI'd say Jon Stewart has remained funny the entire time. Jon always makes it funny first. And he's just, he's talking about serious things, but in a funny way. Other comedians will talk about serious things in a serious way, and then you don't know what's going on.
Copy Quote View & ShareBeing a stand-up is my mission in life; it's my passion. My ongoing goal is to simply be funny, on my own, in front of a roomful of strangers.
Copy Quote View & ShareVince McMahon said to Triple H, 'Are you sure he's a heel? I don't know. He's funny.' He decided he wanted me to be a babyface and when they came to me they said, 'You can say no, but here's what we're looking at. Funkasaurus is the fastest way to be back on TV.'
Copy Quote View & ShareI think it's a comedian's job to make everything funny. Nothing is off-limits.
Copy Quote View & ShareDon't get me wrong, there are sometimes if I go and see a really funny comedy, that I wished I had smoked a joint. I'll be honest with you. That's the truth.
Copy Quote View & ShareWe never really tried to shock for shock's sake on 'Family Guy'. If something was horribly offensive and shocking, we would put it in if it was also hysterically funny.
Copy Quote View & ShareAfter doing Johnny I wanted to just do something, I wouldn't say innocent, but to not have any care in the world. Lots of setups and horrible happenings but its funny.
