I've always been a big fan of comedy and sketch comedy, and i like to laugh, but you can't just be funny. you do have to work at it, and you have to try to know what your role is and when you can insert humor, or when it's best not to.

More From Colin Hanks

There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. we live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. and what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? that is why life is always like a sketch. no, "sketch" is not quite a word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch for nothing, an outline with no picture.

I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.

The problem is that we live in an uptight country. why don't we just laugh at ourselves? we are funny. gays are funny. straights are funny. women are funny. men are funny. we are all funny, and we all do funny things. let's laugh about it.

If a comedian tells a joke that you find funny, you laugh. if he tells a joke you do not find funny, dont laugh. or you could possibly go as far as groaning or rolling your eyes. then you wait for his next joke; if thats funny, then you laugh. if its not, you dont laugh - or at very worst, you can leave quietly.

Someone trying to be funny probably isn't as funny as someone who doesn't want to be funny but is and can't help it. someone being serious or angry might be funny. if you get angry, the first thing i want to do is laugh because i don't know why you're getting that angry. pathos makes me laugh, funerals make me laugh.

It is conceivable at least that a late generation, such as we presumably are, has particular need of the sketch, in order not to be strangled to death by inherited conceptions which preclude new births.... the sketch has direction, but no ending; the sketch as reflection of a view of life that is no longer conclusive, or is not yet conclusive.

Similar Quotes

I have less time, less tolerance for bullshit, more interest in good taste, more confidence in my own judgement. the culture with which i surround myself is a reflection of my personality and the circumstances of my life, which is in part how it should be.

In sum, thought and reflection have been rendered thoroughly pointless by the circumstances in which modern men and women live and act.

As most people know, i am a vampire, so i have no reflection. every day, i paste a picture of someone else on the mirror.

A circle is the reflection of eternity. it has no beginning and it has no end - and if you put several circles over each other, then you get a spiral.
