Writing Comedy Quotes

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
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
When writing comedy, you have to have the confidence to believe that there is only one type of relationship in the world, and we are all having it, that all men behave in the same way and so do all women. Steven Moffat

I went to Dartmouth College so simply by being an Indian-American woman, I was already so statistically interesting.

Mindy Kaling
V. S. Naipaul quote: "One always writes comedy at the moment of deepest hysteria."
One always writes comedy at the moment of deepest hysteria. V. S. Naipaul
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
