I need to keep my ad-libbing skills honed and make sure I'm able to banter with people and treat topics a bit more light-heartedly. But as a stand-up, first and foremost, my job is to make sure that I can write the routine that hopefully people will talk about when something big happens.

Jon Richardson

I think whenever you transform from normal light-hearted characters, to characters which might be out of your comfort zone or less relatable, that is double the work and commitment required to understand the society that character comes from.

Abhishek Banerjee

Work Society Men

I think our Batman had to be fun, light-hearted, funny, tongue-in-cheek... and I think that made kind of an homage to those earlier comic books, where Batman always had a quip or something.

Adam West

Funny Art Age

I just try to tell my stories in a way that is still light-hearted and fun to listen to. I'm not trying to bash you over the head with what I have to say.

Alessia Cara

Art You Yin

I'm afraid that people who know me as I usually am will discover I have another side, a better and finer side. I'm afraid they'll mock me, think I'm ridiculous and sentimental and not take me seriously. I'm used to not being taken seriously, but only the 'light-hearted' Anne is used to it and can put up with it; the 'deeper' Anne is too weak.

Anne Frank

Time Men Art

I sort of felt like being young was normally written about as being very fun and light-hearted. And I think that's true, but I don't feel like there's a lot of songs about how hard it is when you don't really know who you are or what you want, and you feel like you have to apologize for simply just existing.

Chloe Kohanski

Art Young You

I'm not a light-hearted person, so I can't think light-hearted at work.

Eric Bogosian

Work Art Think

We've had that carefree, light-hearted image of fun, fun, fun. Everyone knows it's not really like that.

Gina Schock

Car Art Age

Comedy is very disarming. It's a way to talk about things and still be light-hearted. And when it's done really well, you never see the strings, whereas when you watch an infomercial or a politician speaking, a lot of times you can see the strings, you can see what agenda they're trying to push.

Hasan Minhaj

Time Art Age

I read a lot of heavy literature when I'm on set, so on holiday I want to indulge in something light-hearted.

Hayley Atwell

Art Want Thing

The whole atmosphere of the book, the tone of 'The Hobbit,' is of a kid's adventure story, told in the first person by Tolkien, who is introducing young people to the notion of Middle-earth. A lot of it is very light-hearted.

Ian Mckellen

Art Young People Young

I really love middle-grade. Middle-grade books have a little more of a magical, light-hearted feel. You can be a little bit more quirky, you can have a little more humor. It doesn't get so dark and deep.

James Dashner

Love Humor Art

Overall, I'm happy how 'Original Sin' has come together. It's an amalgam of all I've done at Marvel, mixing the gritty, violent 'Punisher Max' stuff with the zany, light-hearted 'Wolverine & The X-Men' work.

Jason Aaron

Work Men Art

Our shows are packed with laughter and light-hearted songs to lift the listener from their everyday life. We encourage the audience to participate in any way.

Jason Mraz

Life Courage Art

Sometimes readers want some escapist fun, to get lost in the story. But light-hearted romantic stories can and should star all kinds of girls.

Jenny Han

Time Romantic Art

Most of the shows that are offered to me have characters that are in the relatable space, mostly slice-of-life and light-hearted shows.

Jitendra Kumar

Space Life Art

In the studio, if things go wrong, you stop things and fix them. I have never been in a recording studio, really, where the people in the booth were not interested in making a very good album. It's often a light-hearted atmosphere but serious at the same time.

John Abercrombie

Time Good Art

I'm often at events when they're quite light-hearted social events when people would want me to kid around.

John Key

Art Would Want

I need to keep my ad-libbing skills honed and make sure I'm able to banter with people and treat topics a bit more light-heartedly. But as a stand-up, first and foremost, my job is to make sure that I can write the routine that hopefully people will talk about when something big happens.

Jon Richardson

However light-hearted you try to be about it, the loss of youth, and everything that goes with it, is quite a trauma.

Julian Clary

Art Youth You

I really like light-hearted and humourous people.

Karishma Tanna

Art Us Ted

Light-hearted films are not content-driven films.

Kay Kay Menon

Dhol' is a light-hearted thriller revolving around four unemployed guys who are chasing money. It's my first attempt at comedy.

Kunal Khemu

I went to grad school with the grand plan of getting my Ph.D. and writing weighty, Tudor-Stuart-set historical fiction - from which I emerged with a law degree and a series of light-hearted historical romances about flower-named spies during the Napoleonic wars.

Lauren Willig

Although there's an inherent light-heartedness to 'Sherlock,' I slightly err towards not doing the comedy.

Martin Freeman

I'm drawn to the way Havaianas capture playfulness and light-heartedness in their products - there is clearly an element of fun.

Matthew Williamson

If you're billed as a comedian, people will accept anything you say as light-hearted and not with intent behind it.

Megan Fox

I'm a pretty light-hearted person.

Miles Teller

Long back, I did a television show 'Gharwali Uparwali,' and it was appreciated for its light-hearted humor.

Mukul Dev

I have not only played light-hearted roles, but many times, I end up playing this annoying girl in films.

Nushrat Bharucha

Why not just have fun with clothes? We should be more light-hearted about how we dress, how we look. If you experiment, you can go wrong, clearly; but you can have a wonderful time doing it!

Orla Brady

My mom taught me the power of love. I learned to focus on the long-term big picture from my father. His sense of humor and light-hearted approach always make me smile. My husband is a pivotal anchor in my life. His influence encourages me to be independent and take risks.

Padmasree Warrior

Sometimes, fame does scare me. When people know where you are and what you're doing, that can be frightening because I'm such a private person. So I like to try and keep things light-hearted and stay as private as possible.

Poppy Delevingne

I like human-interest movies that are light-hearted.

Rajkumar Hirani

People took notice of me and saw that I can carry off light-hearted roles as well. They started talking about Pritam Vidrohi, and it became a lovable character; I saw that people were clapping and whistling. It was a big high to watch this kind of reaction.

Rajkummar Rao

I always wanted to do a light-hearted entertainer, and 'Bruce Lee' is such a film. The brother-sister sentiment and the relationship between father and son will be very good. The comedy will be hilarious, but it is not a forced comedy.

Ram Charan

You are likely to make more mistakes with a light-hearted film than a serious one.

Ram Gopal Varma

In the '80s, when I was watching Bond films in the cinemas, Roger Moore was the man. I'll always have a soft spot for him. His Bond films were light-hearted and silly as well as action-packed. For me, this spoke volumes. It meant that, someday, maybe someone like me with a whacky sense of humour could be James Bond.

Rhys Darby

I was inspired by Cary Grant. I wanted to do the kind of work he did and to work in light-hearted roles, in comedies.

Robert Vaughn

Our comedy was light-hearted amusement that seemingly tripped naturally off the tongue. That's why I don't think it will date.

Ronnie Corbett

The older books were quite light-hearted. But I think most of my novels do end on a deep note of pessimism. Shadows seem to be closing in. The final conclusion isn't that life is wonderful and everything is bright and cheery and in the garden.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

Acting is a psychological profession, and every character drains you emotionally, regardless of whether it is an intense art house movie or a light-hearted commercial series.

Shweta Tripathi

I think that Americans find the Australian humour and the energy of Australians very refreshing - we are quite self-deprecating, we're light-hearted and can have a laugh.

Teresa Palmer

We always thought the Tom Tom Club could change to anything, but it acquired this image, which was cartoon animation and this real light-hearted dance music.

Tina Weymouth

My work is still very much light-hearted, positive outlook, laugh at yourself. But it isn't going to be the laugh-a-minute kind of thing that my early work was.

Tom Bodett

I don't think 'Befikre' is frivolous at all. Yes, the film is light-hearted. Shyra and Dharam are free-spirited but that doesn't mean they are obnoxious.

Vaani Kapoor

My first film was more of a light-hearted chor-police drama. 'Dhoom 2' focused more on the love story of two unconventional people. 'Dhoom 3' too is different, I hope.
