When people express what is most important to them, it often comes out in cliches. That doesn't make them laughable; it's something tender about them. As though in struggling to reach what's most personal about them they could only come up with what's most public.

Terrence Malick

I'm not interested in offending anyone. If homosexuality was an issue for me, I would have moved out of New York years ago. I find that laughable.

Alec Baldwin

York Years Ago Years

It's laughable to claim the pro-life label while simultaneously putting people's lives at risk because you're too stubborn to acknowledge that Medicaid doesn't fund abortions.

Ana Kasparian

Life Knowledge You

That's the God's truth - I've forgotten that I was famous. I guess it's laughable.

Anne Murray

Truth God Famous

I should think wrestling is the most positive thing in the world. The fact is, behind the scenes, there's stuff that goes on that's bush-league. It's laughable.

Bill Goldberg

Positive Wrestling World

One of my most laughable moments was when we visited the monkeys in Ubud - they really seemed to like me and at one point, I had three males on my head and shoulders.

Carolyn Murphy

Mom Men Visited

Politics is much too serious to be taken too seriously; equally, there are many aspects of it so laughable as to be lamentable.

Charles Kennedy

Politics Men Us

It would be completely laughable if I claimed I was always motivated by the pure craft of acting and that recognition doesn't play a part. Of course it does - that's human nature.

Christoph Waltz

Nature Art Would

What I do on international flights is watch crappy, sappy love movies... Sometimes they're so bad, it's laughable. It kills time.

CM Punk

Time Movies Love

There are certain battles that you pick. When they're not worth picking, they're laughable stories.

David Beckham

You Worth T

People in the industry thought it was laughable that I should be going up for things that didn't clearly state what race the part was intended for.

David Oyelowo

Art Us Up

My movie career - if such a thing even exists - is laughable.

Elaine Stritch

Car Thing Thin

I am the typical British aspiring working class. To be called 'elite' by people who have inherited wealth and run hedge funds or worked in the City of London, I don't criticise them for it, but the idea is frankly laughable. Just ridiculous.

Gavin Esler

Work Working Worked

The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity.

Henri Bergson

Vanity Van T

That Newt Gingrich or any mainstream Republican has the nerve to look down from what they perceive as their moral mountaintop at anyone is laughable.

Henry Rollins

UN Top T

The dog has got more fun out of Man than Man has got out of the dog, for the clearly demonstrable reason that Man is the more laughable of the two animals.

James Thurber

Pet UN Two

Batroc is a laughable character. I'm the one who always makes fun of him.

Jeph Loeb

Who Ways Way

Might I be ridiculous? Might my career in music be laughable? Yeah, that's possible, but that's certainly not my intention.

Joaquin Phoenix

Music Car Yeah

Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Men Think Thing

When 'Rent: Live' was announced, I bugged everybody. The creatives, Fox, the producers, my team - I have to be Mark Cohen. It almost got to a laughable point for me. I was like, 'I have to be Mark Cohen.'

Jordan Fisher

Very UN Team

The idea that I had a bohemian childhood is laughable.

Joseph Fiennes

T Oh Laughable

One of the jokes among our family was that whenever Dad went to the movies, he insisted on getting his senior citizen's discount. It was laughable to view him as a traditional senior citizen; he was one of the most robust people I ever knew. Until, very suddenly, he wasn't.

Justin Trudeau

I find award functions laughable. To me, it is just like an extension of a college annual day function.

Kay Kay Menon

The idea of insider information to me is almost, like, laughable.

Kevin Plank

To have people to the White House and worry about the price of things is laughable.

Letitia Baldrige

I've had a very laughable career and what has seen me through is my sense of humor.

Linda Gray

No one is laughable who laughs at himself.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I will laugh at the laughable while I breathe.

Mary Boykin Chesnut

People who hate me call me a Twitter troll, which is laughable given my extensive body of work, which you can find on Amazon in the form of books like 'Gorilla Mindset' and my documentary on free speech, 'Silenced.'

Mike Cernovich

The idea that an actress - mostly lauded for her performances in more than a dozen films - somehow represents a threat to Iran's national security is laughable at best. But in Ahangarani's case, far from anything humorous, the allegations have actually resulted in the sober prospect of real prison time.

Nazanin Boniadi

I think one of the laughable things about poor old Brexit is that they're so cross - they're furious with everyone. But this isn't a cross country; this is a generous and optimistic country.

Nicholas Soames

Our border security is laughable.

Paul Gosar

What's really interesting about that is that a lot of these words that were incendiary in their time now seem almost harmless and laughable, because they have this archaic quality.

Philip Kaufman

And I don't believe that melodramatic feelings are laughable - they should be taken absolutely seriously.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder

I never expected to earn money out of writing. In fact, the idea of getting published was too bourgeois. Then, in England, I realised that writing a book was something you could do without it being laughable.

Romesh Gunesekera

Look, the term 'high-profile relationship' for us is laughable because we are probably the biggest scrubs when it comes to the way we live our lives.

Samantha Ponder

The idea that if you are very clever you shouldn't be an actor would be laughable in Russia.

Samuel West

When I started out in the eighties, the idea of creating serious comics for adults was pretty laughable to most folks, and for the longest time it was hard to even explain what alternative comics or graphic novels were. Nobody seemed to understand or care. Not so, any longer.

Seth

To think that Woody was in any way a father or stepfather to me is laughable.

Soon-Yi Previn

The director of 'Independence Day,' 'Godzilla' and 'The Patriot' has certain attributes, all of which are given full vent in 'The Day After Tomorrow.' He's crude, stupid, slick, cornball, predictable, laughable, relentless, trivial and, the sum of all these, ridiculous. He's never made a movie you could believe and he still hasn't.

Stephen Hunter

The idea that somehow you're going to tax the 'rich' enough to pay for quality health care for every American who doesn't have it, can't afford it or stands to lose it, not to mention for all of the undocumented aliens who receive it for free now and presumably will continue to in Obama health land, is almost laughable.

Susan Estrich

I think everyone really wants to just be happy and live the life that they want to live. But they come up against all of these obstacles and sometimes the way that react we react to that can be very hilarious. To me. It's hilarious and laughable.

Takashi Miike

The truth is that we all have lives that are complicated. We all get hurt by people we love sometimes. It's laughable to believe that anyone is immune. The important thing is how you behave.

Tamara Mellon

When people express what is most important to them, it often comes out in cliches. That doesn't make them laughable; it's something tender about them. As though in struggling to reach what's most personal about them they could only come up with what's most public.

Terrence Malick

I detest computers. If you had a device like that 30 years ago that froze up constantly, misbehaved constantly, lost your information and screwed up when you needed it the most, it would have been laughable.

Tom Scholz

I had a wonderful time playing Dr. Kaufman in Tomorrow Never Dies. It was a real Bond villain, over the top, almost laughable but dangerous.

Vincent Schiavelli
