Funny is not a color. Being black is only good from the time you get from the curtain to the microphone. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I don't believe that anybody has come to a conclusion on why something is funny. It's funny because it's ridiculous and it's ridiculous for different reasons at different times. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
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. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
But if something funny happens, I can't resist. I have to tell the people. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I've always enjoyed making people laugh. But in order for me to be funny, I have to get ticked off about something. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
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. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Oh all the time when Victoria Wood and I did our series. There were people asking 'Can women be funny?' People still ask that. It's like asking: 'Can women breathe in and out?' Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
What's so great about working with really funny women is that vanity comes second. Whatever makes it real and funny, they're going to go for, and it's just great. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
What I don't like is when I see stuff that I know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there's no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. What you don't want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here's the epiphany scene and then the movie's over. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
And at the time, it is funny how you can look at something and say, for example with my shoulder injury, when it first happened I said this is the worst thing that could happen to me. Why me, why now? Now I look back and say it was probably the best thing that happened to me. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
We've got a bunch of new writers now who tell me they grew up watching The Simpsons. It's bizarre, and they're writing some very funny stuff. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
