In POLITE SOCIETY one LAUGHS at all the jokes, including the ones one has HEARD before.

Comedy is harder, because if there's no laughs, it's pretty bad. But drama, if there's no reaction, you can SAY, 'Well, it's not their CUP of TEA. Maybe it's too heavy for the AUDIENCE.'

It's only fitting that a JEWISH COMIC makes his Just for LAUGHS anglo DEBUT in a CHURCH, right?

I've now been in over 100 adverts for Walkers, and we've had a LOT of LAUGHS ALONG the WAY.

If the worst THING that can HAPPEN is that NOBODY laughs, then I can deal with that, because the worst thing that can happen at the factory is that I could lose a limb or be crushed by a huge MACHINE.

My GRANDFATHER can barely EVEN hear, and Chevy CHASE makes a FACE, and he laughs.

The jokes are GREAT but what REALLY matters for a comedian is his performance, his whole attitude, and the LAUGHS that he GETS between the jokes rather than on top of the jokes.

If a comic LAUGHS at their own jokes, I don't LIKE it. They shouldn't find it funny; they should seriously believe in this stupid THING they're saying.

I laugh every day. There are days when my LAUGHS are PRETTY hollow. Dust comes out of your mouth, and your bones make a funny SOUND. But I'm LAUGHING.

I auditioned for a one-act version of 'The PRINCESS and the Pea' called 'The Ugly Duckling,' and I was cast as the King, starting a pattern of being cast in roles originally intended for men. I went to the first REHEARSAL, and I didn't GET any laughs, and I choked and I quit. I walked AWAY from it and joined the TENNIS team.

Every TIME I MAKE a PLAN, God laughs at me.

When somebody listens and laughs, you're ALWAYS in better SHAPE than when you're with those folks who just kind of look at you when you say SOMETHING funny. You wonder if they're LOOKING at you because they're mad that they didn't say it or something. It's hard to HANDLE that.

My husband has been very SUPPORTIVE of me, and we've shared a lot. Yes! We've had a lot of laughs. You have to have them. He makes LIFE FUN. That's important, isn't it?'
