I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but the future ain't that funny.

Twitter, to me, works if you're funny. Twitter doesn't work as a promotional tool unless you do it very, very, very occasionally.

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.

I think a lot of times on TV we see caricatures - that's what's funny.

I love being a dad, it keeps me fit and inspired and children are so funny. They always supply you with acting material!

It's funny how most activists are pacifists.

I've always been part of comedy. One of the things about our family was that if we were reasonably funny with each other, particularly my two brothers and myself, when my father was upset with something you'd want to make sure in some way you made him laugh. Because when he didn't laugh, you were in trouble!

So what I do now is to pre-empt that by making the up into a virtue, and telling funny stories about how crap I am before people have a chance to notice it for themselves and think maybe I haven't realised.

If you think something's funny, go with that. Most comedians pull jokes from a place of honesty.

Funny is funny is funny.
