For a lot of comics who aren't as silly or physical but more intellectual, we get looked at as 'alt comics.' No, I'm still a black comic, and there are black people who want to hear my type of black comedy, but that space hasn't been built out for us.

Amanda Seales

Shorts are silly. Men in shorts are silly men. And silly is the very worst thing a man can be.

There's always going to be silly stuff out there in the media that you can't worry too much about, and I don't. We just keep on trucking, and I like the way my... I think there should be 'professional is professional, and personal is personal,' and that's just how I'm going to keep it.

Aaron Rodgers

You Worry Ways

You always have to be on at times, and occasionally people get upset if you say no to a picture when you're eating dinner or something, and that's kind of the hard part. Or if you get crazy rumors that swirl around you from time to time that are just silly.

Aaron Rodgers

Time Art You

On 'Adam Ruins Everything' we do the broadest sketch comedy possible. We do stuff where you can see it immediately and know it's a joke - characters in big silly costumes; here's Uncle Sam and he's twiddling his fingers saying, 'Oh, I'm naughty.'

Adam Conover

You Yin Where

I didn't want to start aiming for fame. It would be silly to not have entertained offers.

Adam Granduciel

Art Would Want

I don't want to speak for my movies; you could say my movies are just completely silly and dumb, but in the case of 'Idiocracy' and 'Borat,' without a doubt there is a really subversive and sophisticated assault on American culture.

Adam McKay

Movies You Without

I was a real unfocused academic student, always fiddling around in class, or doing something silly and thinking of something else that had nothing to do with school.

Adriano Zumbo

Wit Ways Way

For me, watching people get out of control, and be indulgent and dramatic was very silly.

Aimee Osbourne

Watching Watch Very

I've said this before, and I'm sure there are people who disagree, but I feel like one of the reasons there aren't a lot more women in stand-up - and there are many more now; it's not parity, but it's getting there - is that women are not socialized to look stupid or silly. They're socialized to be pretty and precious.

Aisha Tyler

Women Men Women Are

Comedy's really about not being afraid to look terrible, look ugly, look silly, make fun of yourself. And that's something that women are just not socialized to do. But more women are doing it, and more women have examples of women doing it brilliantly.

Aisha Tyler

Women Men Yourself

Don't be afraid to look silly. You are only holding yourself back if you are afraid of looking silly or failing.

Aisling Bea

Yourself Yours Your

People who succeed in my job are people who are not afraid to look silly.

Aisling Bea

Who T Succeed

All of our heroes did silly stuff early and got more serious as time went on. Steve Martin, Adam Sandler, Bill Murray. They got older, wiser, and made different choices.

Akiva Schaffer

Time Art Wiser

It's very hard to respect people on holiday - everybody looks so silly at the beach, it makes you hate humanity - but when you see people at their work they elicit respect, whether it's a mechanic, a stonemason or an accountant.

Alain de Botton

Work Respect You

When I was younger, I behaved a bit strangely sometimes - lost my temper, did silly things - but little by little, I've gotten better. As a chef, I think you need to do a lot of work on yourself and your temperament.

Alain Ducasse

Work Time Men

I think it's like everything else; one shouldn't dig too deeply. It's silly to say that with a journalist, but sometimes there is not a truth to be found.

Alan Price

Truth Time Wit

Hollywood comedy has gotten really silly and absurd, and I like that.

Alan Tudyk

Wood Woo Ten

I made my living in comedy, but I'm not a silly person. I've got all these sides to me. Even in my movies that I've written myself, the characters sometimes border on great anger or nutsiness or other kinds of behavior. I'm not just doing fart jokes for two hours.

Albert Brooks

Time Movies Great

I've been doing comedy since I was two. You know, kids who make other kids laugh. The sickness had set in! I could make my friends' parents laugh; I had a sense of what was silly and funny.

Albert Brooks

Funny You Who

Bolsonaro must relax, I do not plan to shut down the economy. It's silly.

Alberto Fernandez

Us T Son

It took me a long time to learn how to be brave enough to put myself out there and try everything, no matter how strange or silly. If I can impart that same wisdom to other folks - no matter what age - it would be an honor.

Alethea Kontis

When I was doing stand-up, there were a lot of things I talked about that seemed very silly but were therapeutic.

Alex Borstein

I was kind of the comic relief in my household. We had a chronic illness in the family. And so, a lot of emergency room visits, and my role was to be silly and add levity, and we're Jewish. So every Passover is a performance. You kind of learn to role play and do voices at the Passover Seder.

Alex Borstein

My ultimate goal is to create operating systems for myself that allow me to think as little as possible about the silly decisions you can make all day long - like what to eat or where we should meet - so I can focus on making real decisions. Because mental energy is a finite quantity.

Alexa Von Tobel

What's the good of Twitter if you can't tweet cute... Twitter's so silly. I tweet about my rabbit a lot.

Alexandra Daddario

I am consistently impressed by reddit. I'd say on a near weekly basis, by little things. Whether it's - I absolutely love seeing the Photoshop jobs that people do. Not of silly cats, but of redditors who are like, 'I have this photo of like my mom. This is the last photo I took with her. She was in the hospital. Can any of you clean this photo up?'

Alexis Ohanian

It annoys me when people can't differentiate between the character and the actor, which is a little bit silly.

Alfie Allen

Most science fiction, quite frankly, is silly nonsense.

Alfred Bester

The silly question is the first intimation of some totally new development.

Alfred North Whitehead

My Mickey Mouse ears were given to me by a dear friend. They remind me of how I need to be silly.

Alice Ripley

From the beginning, I've had to juggle and weigh the silly things people say - and I've learnt that they're meaningless, and they're mostly inaccurate. So I don't worry about it, because there's nothin' for me to deal with.

Alicia Keys

When you're offered things, it makes it so much easier to be indecisive. And it's silly because you can pass on some really amazing things.

Alicia Silverstone

I think that a big part of comedy is being made fun of, and it is looking silly or looking stupid.

Alison Brie

America, how can I write a holy litany in your silly mood?

Allen Ginsberg

As individuals, we don't sometimes let ourselves enjoy things that we possibly should because of ways you want to be perceived, which is a silly thing as well.

Alun Wyn Jones

People know I like to laugh and have a good time. Even when I'm sassy, it's still kind of stupid-silly.

Alyssa Edwards

'Smart Funny & Black' came about because I felt that black comedians were being considered as only capable of a certain type of comedy - sort of physical, kind of silly - and I felt like we are not a monolith, and our comedy isn't, either.

Amanda Seales

For a lot of comics who aren't as silly or physical but more intellectual, we get looked at as 'alt comics.' No, I'm still a black comic, and there are black people who want to hear my type of black comedy, but that space hasn't been built out for us.

Amanda Seales

If I spend silly, it's going to look bad, in a way, because I do all this charity work as well.

Amir Khan

Nowadays, it's so silly to not express your feelings, as long as you respect peoples' spaces and respect their limits. You have to live your life in peace, and no one has anything to do with that.

Anderson Silva

I had six silly tattoos done when I was young and I bitterly regret them. I've thought about laser surgery, but that leaves a scar, so I'm just leaving them.

Andre Benjamin

Nothing is so silly as the expression of a man who is being complimented.

Andre Gide

Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.

Angela Carter

In my father's generation, the product was 80 percent of what you were putting into the world, and your personal life was 20 percent. It now seems that 80 percent of the product I put out is silly, made-up stories and what I'm wearing.

Angelina Jolie

GamerGate is really a sexist temper tantrum. That's kind of a silly, funny way of putting it, but it's kind of what it feels like, right? They're going after and targeting women who are trying to make changes in the industry. They're attacking anyone who supports women.

Anita Sarkeesian

Fashion is silly. Perhaps I should say fashion in general is silly. But then everything is, in general. If you talk about music in general, it's silly; about magazines, in general, they're silly.

Ann Demeulemeester

I guess my silly dream is to be on 'Game of Thrones.' I don't think that I can do that, but that's my silly dream. And there are a lot of American comedies, particularly on NBC, that I would, I would love to do.

Anna Kendrick

You can relax more when you're playing a silly character than when you're playing a really rigid character. But to be fair, I think George Clooney is a bigger teenager than any of the 'Twilight' cast. He's the guy throwing a football at your head and then hiding around the corner, pretending it wasn't him!

Anna Kendrick

I would even go to Washington, which is saying something for me, just to glimpse Jane Q. Public, being sworn in as the first female president of the United States, while her husband holds the Bible and wears a silly pill box hat and matching coat.

Anna Quindlen

One doesn't want fashion to look ridiculous, silly, or out of step with the times - but you do want designers that make you think, that make you look at fashion differently. That's how fashion changes. If it doesn't change, it's not looking forward. And that's important to me.
