School is practice for future life practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect so why practice?

And of course Marc Cherry heightens it and makes it hilarious. But there's so many universal themes in the show and he made it so funny. We knew he was onto something if he could keep it up and thankfully he did.

And I think that being able to make people laugh and write a book that's funny makes the information go down a lot easier and it makes it a lot more fun to read easier to understand and often stronger. So there's all kinds of advantages to it.

To this day I've found that it doesn't matter what a guy looks like if he's really funny. His sense of humor makes him attractive. On the other hand you don't hear men saying 'No she's not pretty but is she ever funny!'

I've dated some women who have turned me on to some funny things that are strange for men to actually do but these things have become part of my process. I think the things I do for my appearance help make me look better. I even colour my hair because I like how it makes me look.

I really don't know what makes a comedian. I think it's a family background and environment. Yet if you put the same ingredients in another person he may never utter a funny line.

The things that make me angry still make me angry. George Carlin is 67 and he's still as funny as he's ever been and he's still angry. And that makes me feel good because I feel like if I stick around long enough I'll still be able to work.

The audience changes every night. You're the same person. You have to speak your mind and do the stuff that you think is funny and makes you laugh.

What's so great about working with really funny women is that vanity comes second. Whatever makes it real and funny they're going to go for and it's just great.

I'm so single. It's funny. I'm usually a relationship girl. I love being in love and having a partner in crime. But it's good to be your own partner in crime. God that makes me sound like I have multiple-personality disorder.

At home in L.A. Sunday is lazy. It's the wife and me lying in bed with coffee watching 'The Soup' or something funny on TiVo. The kid will occasionally join us. Eventually breakfast is at a place down the street called Paty's. And we always have some kind of great dinner - my wife makes a great roast beef.

A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

People are roasting each other at parties at work events around the fire. It's so fun. People are busting each other's chops and it's a sign of affection truly. It's a true test of love and friendship: can you make a man laugh at himself? So what makes a good burn? Go after targets you love and respect. And hit 'em hard.

Friendship is a word the very sight of which in print makes the heart warm.

To like and dislike the same things this is what makes a solid friendship.

Time makes friendship stronger but love weaker.

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding mutual confidence sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

It is not a lack of love but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

Rejoicing in our joy not suffering over our suffering makes someone a friend.

It could be my British need for discipline that makes me admire the American appetite for freedom and passion.

You cannot mistake Bush's clarity of purpose. He believes in a story about freedom and opportunity that makes his followers feel like they aren't just ticking their days down but are part of something larger than themselves.

If you scratch below the surface and ask what really makes me tick it's the liberalism of trying to promote freedom and opportunity. Promoting social mobility is one of the keys to that.

The financial reward is great and I love the life I have but all money makes possible is for you to stop worrying about money. Then you have freedom to live your life.

Human beings want to be free and however long they may agree to stay locked up to stay oppressed there will come a time when they say 'That's it.' Suddenly they find themselves doing something that they never would have thought they would be doing simply because of the human instinct that makes them turn their face towards freedom.
