Comedy aims at representing men as worse, Tragedy as better than in actual life.
Quote by -Aristotle
I'd always wanted to be a dramatic. Comedy comes more naturally to me. I can do it with more facility. So I feel more comfortable with it.
Quote by -Woody Allen
Music has always helped my films. In 'The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion,' you can hear 'Sunrise' by Glenn Miller, an idol of my childhood, in the surprise ending. I like mixing comedy with suspense and action.
Quote by -Woody Allen
It seems to me that making escapist films might be a better service to people than making intellectual ones and making films that deal with issues. It might be better to just make escapist comedies that don't touch on any issues. The people just get a cool lemonade, and then they go out refreshed, they enjoy themselves, they forget how awful things are and it helps them - it strengthens them to get through the day.
Quote by -Woody Allen
I'm generally not a social dramatist or comedy writer. My interests have always been more in psychological stories or personal relations and comic ideas.
Quote by -Woody Allen
I like broad comedy. If I had an idea tomorrow for a film that was all slapstick and broad comedy, and it was an idea that interested me, I would not hesitate to do it because I enjoy watching these kinds of film.
Quote by -Woody Allen
I wish I was writing something much more heavy each time I did a film, and that the comedies just occasionally come out. But unfortunately you're stuck with what you're born with.

Quote by -Woody Allen
The comedies are not a million laughs on the set. Its business and the dramas are business as well, really. When I'm writing it I struggle more with drama because I started out in comedy.
Quote by -Woody Allen
I learned a few things on my own since, and modified some of the things he taught me, but everything, unequivocally, that I learned about comedy writing I learned from Danny Simon.
Quote by -Woody Allen
You make films whether they're dramas or comedies about neurotic people. Flawed people. Interesting personality traits. To make them about calm, stable untroubled people isn't interesting.
Quote by -Woody Allen
My gift was in comedy. I found out I could make jokes. I could tell jokes. I could write them. So over the years, that's what I've done.
Quote by -Woody Allen
I'm a comedian. I make comic films and there are certain ideas that occur to me that are comic, with heavy, serious undertones. There are some ideas that are more frivolous to me. The next idea that could occur to me could be comedy about death and famine or something.
Quote by -Woody Allen
Figures tell us there are already more people on earth than we need to move even the heaviest piano.
Quote by -Woody Allen
Comedy just pokes at problems, rarely confronts them squarely. Drama is like a plate of meat and potatoes, comedy is rather the dessert, a bit like meringue.
Quote by -Woody Allen
I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.
Quote by -Woody Allen
If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
Quote by -Woody Allen
You'll live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to.
Quote by -Woody Allen
There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?
Quote by -Woody Allen
What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.
Quote by -Woody Allen
I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it's the government.
Quote by -Woody Allen
"Be not affronted at a joke. If one throw salt at thee, thou wilt receive no harm, unless thou art raw."
Quote by -Oliver Goldsmith
"The biggest fool in the world is he who merely does his work supremely well, without attending to appearance."
Quote by -Michael Korda
"I was in California, and I was going to UCLA, and I knew I certainly didn't have movie star looks. I remember seeing pictures and photos of Ethel Merman and Mary Martin, who were kind of average looking. I said, 'Well, that's for me, then, to go back to New York and try to be in musical comedy on Broadway.'"
Quote by -Carol Burnett
"I'm really not that funny in real life! But I am the best audience one could find. I love to laugh."
Quote by -Carol Burnett
"My favourite comedian, of course, is Tim Conway. He has a way about him - being that belly-laugh kind of funny, and he has the improvisational skills, too. I've never seen anybody better."
Quote by -Carol Burnett
"I think the hardest thing to do in the world, show-business-wise, is write comedy."
Quote by -Carol Burnett
"Funny is funny. I dare anyone to look at Tim Conway and Harvey Korman doing the dentist sketch, which is more than 40 years old, and not scream with laughter."
Quote by -Carol Burnett
"As far as sitcoms go, I thought Jenna Elfman in 'Dharma and Greg' was a wonderful physical comedienne who had great timing."
