A big part of becoming a funny person was a major defense mechanism. Onstage, especially as a woman, I've had to be really tough. The second you show a crack, the audience can literally leave.
Cardi B
I'm a funny person, but I take my music seriously.
Chris Lilley
I'm not interested in being one of those comedians who wants to look good and be this 'cool' funny person. I don't care how weird or ugly I look.
Fanny Brice
Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious, you're a clown.
Janeane Garofalo
I actually was class clown, but I don't know how that happened because I've never been considered an outwardly funny person.
