Comedy Writing Quotes

I love a good laugh as well, I think that's so important in life, which is probably why I've dabbled in comedy writing as well as horror. I think if you can make someone laugh or smile it's the most special thing in the world. Paul Kane
Rob Walton quote: "Comedy, at least the way I write comedy, is just drama with..."
Comedy, at least the way I write comedy, is just drama with jokes. Rob Walton
Michael Caine quote: "Comedy is underrepresented in every actor's life, because it's..."
Comedy is underrepresented in every actor's life, because it's so bloody difficult to write. Michael Caine
Comedy is just to me, maybe it's a natural knack, if I can see where the joke is in the writing and I can see where the setup is and I can tell this is the way to make it. Matt LeBlanc
It's hard enough to write a good drama, it's much harder to write a good comedy, and it's hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is. Jack Lemmon
Michael Caine quote: "Anyone can write. But comedy, you've got to do some writing...."
Anyone can write. But comedy, you've got to do some writing. You get one comedy script to every 20 dramas. Michael Caine
I know this is going to sound very self-serving, and I apologize for it, but if you can write comedy, you can pretty much write anything, because it's the hardest. It's the most technically demanding, the most precisely evaluated form of writing. People know if it works or not. There's a big button marked 'fail,' and that's when nobody laughs. Steven Moffat
Steven Moffat quote: "I think training in comedy, as it were, a history writing..."
I think training in comedy, as it were, a history writing comedy, is a powerful tool for anyone. Steven Moffat
What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this, because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity. Mindy Kaling
Verse comedy is interesting to me because of the challenge of writing in rhymed couplets, which is not a form that's usually amenable to English, yet to me it gives great possibility for comedy. David Ives
Charles S. Dutton quote: "I'm trying my hand at writing. I'm writing a couple of..."
I'm trying my hand at writing. I'm writing a couple of projects for HBO, a half hour comedy and a miniseries. Charles S. Dutton
I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it. Margaret Cho
I love comedy and I would write things to myself as an exercise in writing. I didn't do well for years, and I quit. I started to break down why I was afraid and started to look at people I admired, like Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Freddie Prinze, George Carlin and all. George Lopez
In his Comedy, Dante Alighieri names Virgil, with many tokens of respect, as his teacher, and yet, as Herr Meinhard remarks, makes such ill use of him: a clear proof that even in the days of Dante one praised the ancients without knowing why. This respect for poets one does not understand and yet wishes to equal is the source of the bad writing in our literature. Georg C. Lichtenberg
I believe there are two ways of writing novels. One is making a sort of musical comedy without music and ignoring real life altogether; the other is going deep down into life and not caring a damn... P. G. Wodehouse
