The audience changes every night. You're the same person. You have to speak your mind and do the stuff that you think is funny and makes you laugh.
Everyone comes up to me saying 'Cooee Julie! Hello!' as if I know them. Of course I don't bloody know them. Am I flummoxed by it? Sometimes. I think 'Ooh love go easy.' For a time I did feel this pressure that I had to be funny but it passes.
There are so many funny women in the world and there has been for so many years so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male ' and everyone gets an equal opportunity.
I show them the funny part the silly part the laughing part the crazy part and then the really deep deep part where I'm talking from my heart to these people. Because I've been through everything they've been through.
This is going to sound really funny. I have a poster of Zac Efron on my wall! I think every girl has a poster of him in their room so why not join the club!
You know I've always thought that it would be really funny if somebody made a romantic comedy where absolutely everything went well from beginning to end.
It was always a fantasy of mine growing up - my favorite program was always 'Little House on the Prairie' - so I always wanted to wear those looks. When I was a child I wouldn't let my mom put me in anything but calico dresses and now... whaddaya know every day I'm in a calico dress basically so it's kind of funny.
Being funny it turns out is like being a bank. It's a confidence trick. As long as everyone believes in you you are fine.
In this world everyone wants to know everything about you and I think that's funny.
I don't hate humanity and I'm not interested in people who do. Although it's funny actually some of my favorite writers really do. Like Martin Amis. My dirty secret. 'London Fields' is one of my favorite books ever. And it's indefensible! But he's so funny... I forgive him everything.
I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies.
I remember straightening my hair because I wanted to be like everybody else and now the fact that anybody would emulate what I do? It's just funny.
I had everything I'd hoped for but I wasn't being myself. So I decided to be honest about who I was. It was strange: The people who loved me for being funny suddenly didn't like me for being... me.
I used to think that everything was just being funny but now I don't know. I mean how can you tell?
Whatever is funny is subversive every joke is ultimately a custard pie... a dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
Like almost everyone who uses e-mail I receive a ton of spam every day. Much of it offers to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It would be funny if it weren't so exciting.
Everything is funny as long as it's happening to somebody else.
You know fame is a funny thing man especially you know actors musicians rappers rock singers it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it - you go to bars you go to clubs everyone's doing a certain thing... It's tough.
From there to here and here to there funny things are everywhere.
Every cloud has its silver lining but it is sometimes a little difficult to get it to the mint.
My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe.
Every man has his follies - and often they are the most interesting thing he has got.
That's my only goal. Surround myself with funny people and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard.
Boy those French: they have a different word for everything!
I have an almost complete disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.
