There is something really horrific for any human being who feels he is being consumed by other people.

~ Wole Soyinka
I have a really dry sense of humor. I don't think it's funny when people wink at the camera. That's more of an actor thing, just committing to whatever the thing is.

Sometimes when I try to make jokes or have a sense of humor in interviews, it doesn't go over very well. But Twitter made my life easier in this way that I didn't expect. It would have taken probably 10 times as long for people to accept my voice and my sense of humor if I didn't have Twitter.
~ Anna Kendrick
Twitter is the place where I try to be more funny. And then I use Instagram just as my diary. I pull some jokes on there, but I think people have a better sense of humor on Twitter.

Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn't. It focuses on facts.
~ Sarah Silverman
I find that people find a way out of misery through humor and it's humor that's often unacceptable to people who are not in quite such a state of misery.
