I grew up on EC comic books and 'Tales From the Crypt,' which were all loaded with humor, bad jokes, and puns. I can have that kind of fun and make these comic book movies but, at the same time, talk about things I want to talk about - whether it's consumerism or the Bush administration or war.

George A. Romero

I like Jacques Derrida; I think he's funny. I like my philosophy with a few jokes and puns. I know that that offends other philosophers; they think he's not taking things seriously, but he comes up with some marvellous puns. Why shouldn't you have a bit of fun while dealing with the deepest issues of the mind?

Alan Moore

I grew up in an environment of jokes and sarcasm and puns. I talk that way, so I write that way.

Allan Sloan

I'm the champ that puns the camp! That's what I always wanted. I wanted to be seen as a main eventer, and it's a lot of responsibility now. I feel like I'm gonna deliver on this opportunity. I want to take it and make sure everybody knows that this is why I'm the champ.

Becky Lynch

I'm shameless, and I love a pun. There's a lot of Beth puns.

Beth Ditto

I'd like my super power to be puns; I'd like to be great at puns: pun power. Then I could go on loads of panel shows and live off that forever.

Chris O'Dowd

'The Sopranos' is filled with really retrograde humor. Bathroom humor, falls, stupid puns, bad jokes - infantile, adolescent stuff, but it makes me laugh.

David Chase

I'm a terrible punster. And I love to rhyme. I just can't help myself.

Duane Michals

Of puns it has been said that those who most dislike them are those who are least able to utter them.

Edgar Allan Poe

I live and die by puns.

Feist

Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns; he should be drawn and quoted.

Fred Allen

I love making puns.

Fred Gwynne

Americans don't like puns and plays on words, which is totally opposite in the comedy world to France or even Italy and Germany.

Gad Elmaleh

I grew up on EC comic books and 'Tales From the Crypt,' which were all loaded with humor, bad jokes, and puns. I can have that kind of fun and make these comic book movies but, at the same time, talk about things I want to talk about - whether it's consumerism or the Bush administration or war.

George A. Romero

Coincidences are spiritual puns.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Puns are a form of humor with words.

Guillermo Cabrera Infante

I say 'as it were' or 'so to speak' too often because puns and double entendres keep insinuating themselves into my consciousness as I'm talking.

Guy Gavriel Kay

Words played an important part in my growing up. Not only the written word... but words that flew through the air: jokes, riddles, puns.

James Howe

Fozzie Bear has so many bear puns in this script - like, 'Trac is grizzly!' 'This is unbearable!' It's the greatest.

Jason Segel

I love puns and plays on words, which is why I love RuPaul so much.

Jinkx Monsoon

Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.
