And there's a visceral fun in watching Team America and making it like taking a puppet and throwing it against the wall. Because it's not CG there's something funny about it.

I love weird or funny or beautiful sentences Joy Williams could write a microwave-oven manual and I'm sure I'd love it because the sentences would be tuned up like music.

Sometimes I am so dry that people don't know I'm kidding and think I'm being serious. I enjoy this because their reactions are often funny.

If you could cross a lion and a monkey that's what I'd be because monkeys are funny and lions are strong.

I really love 'Soapdish.' I wish 'Soapdish' had more of a moment because I felt that that is a really strong funny movie. Kevin Kline is hilarious in that movie.

It's funny because I did all of these interviews as soon as I had the baby and they were asking questions and I really didn't have an idea of anything because I was so blurry.

I joke around a lot about the manic times because they're funny. We manics do outrageous things and it is part of our colorful nature.

It's funny because I'm a man of strong opinions and when I make one I stand by it even if it starts to appear incorrect to me after a while.

Back in the '70s like one of my favorite movies ever was 'The Bad News Bears' and that was a kids' movie but I don't think of it that way. I think of it as just a great movie because Walter Matthau was so funny and so harsh with those kids.

Johnny Rotten. He's a big fan of mine. I used to see him out in the audience in England and he'd stand up and holler. He's funny. Smart too and a nice guy. Don't think he's a jerk because he isn't.

It's funny because I sometimes feel that I'm most creative when I'm pregnant.

But sooner or later I'd love to do a comedy. I mean I think that you know people don't think that that's in my wheelhouse because I've sort of played a lot of dramatic stuff and that's certainly a side of myself that I want at some point in the right context in the right stuff that I find really funny.

It's funny that I got to do 'On the Road' because the thing that had the biggest impact on me growing up was reading books. I was very inspired by the book and this spirit of Dean Moriarty and how envious we all are of somebody who can be that carefree.

I actually was class clown but I don't know how that happened because I've never been considered an outwardly funny person.

I actually was class clown but I don't know how that happened because I've never been considered an outwardly funny person-as the people in this room will attest.

It's funny because when you're younger you're in a rush to be 18 or 21 or whatever. But then you hit 30. And now the days go by like hours. You think 40 man this could be the halfway point. It could be the three-quarters point you know? Who knows?

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.

It's funny how I use social media because I don't use it to promote my restaurants that much. I use it for social issues and I think that's what it's for. I do a few things - I mess around with music a lot because that's a passion of mine. If something strikes me and I want to share it I do.

The key is just to ignore the pain because physical comedy only works if you see someone get hurt and they aren't actually hurt. If someone gets hit in the face with a bat falls down and gets back up it's funny. If they stay down and their jaw is wired shut in the next scene it's really tragic and weird. You have to pretend it doesn't hurt.

It's so funny because right now I'm very tired and my brains a little dead I tend to get very focused and serious. So I'm probably coming off a lot more like Scully right now.

Sometimes comics will make the observation that it's not jokes that are funny it's characters that are funny. And isn't that true! That's why I always kill jokes. I'm terrible at them because I get the joke right but I can't get the character right and it just goes down like a lead balloon.

I was making my living from a joke about my appearance that I didn't understand and in a way still don't because when I look in a mirror it doesn't seem funny to me.

You can go to a play that is enjoyable because it's funny and then on the next night you can go to a play that's enjoyable because it's 'disturbing.'

I've been to many funerals of funny people and they're some of the funniest days you'll ever have because the emotions run high.
