Sometimes comics will make the observation that it's not jokes that are funny it's characters that are funny. And isn't that true! That's why I always kill jokes. I'm terrible at them because I get the joke right but I can't get the character right and it just goes down like a lead balloon.
It's funny though with films because you can incorporate a variety of elements and sometimes that can work for you and sometimes I think it can work against you.
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.
Sometimes people get mad at The Simpsons' subversive story telling but there's another message in there which is a celebration of making wild funny stories.
I've never really understood that. It's a funny thing people sometimes accuse us of condescending to our characters somehow-that to me is kind of inexplicable.
Sometimes I feel like there are people just waiting for me to fall. The funny thing is I can't give them anything. I have just never been a partier even in school.
I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.
It's funny how making odd noises can get you into strange situations sometimes.
I mean sometimes... a comedian becomes an actor and they just don't deliver because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful and they get that mixed up sometimes or don't even notice that that's the thing.
Laurence Olivier said in an interview once that when he plays a tragedy he always aims for the funny parts and the other way around. Because in a comedy you look for what's serious. I think that's true. Sometimes things are really funny if you're absolutely earnest. If you're really serious it's hilarious.
Sometimes I think what I write is funny in its quiet way.
I am odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny Muppet.
I'm odd looking. Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet.
Every cloud has its silver lining but it is sometimes a little difficult to get it to the mint.
If you're going through friendship issues I would say first of all take a step back. How important is the friendship to you? Sometimes if someone's not being a good friend to you and isn't treating you the way you should be treated then you kind of have to move on sometimes.
Friendship always benefits love sometimes injures.
I think in friendship you want to be there for your friend and sometimes you just don't know what to do or the relationship you have with them is not clear enough for you to know what to do.
It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly those who dispute with one another at last agree.
The men and women who serve in our military have won for us every hour we live in freedom sometimes at the expense of the very hours of the lifetimes they had hoped to live.
Time misspent in youth is sometimes all the freedom one ever has.
So the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is out there preserving and fighting for and sometimes winning and sometimes losing the fight for First Amendment rights in comics and more generally for freedom of speech.
So sometimes the facts are good and sometimes the facts are bad the important thing from the point of view of a principle as broad and important as freedom of speech is that the courts articulate and set forth in a very protective way what those principles are.
Freedom does not come without a price. We may sometimes take for granted the many liberties we enjoy in America but they have all been earned through the ultimate sacrifice paid by so many of the members of our armed forces.
Sometimes I see myself fine sometimes I need a witness. And I like the whole truth but there are nights I only need forgiveness.
In war as in life it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed to take up the best alternative open and if so it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
