I suppose I look for humor in most situations because it humanizes things; it makes a character much more three-dimensional if there's some kind of humor. Not necessarily laugh-out-loud type of stuff, just a sense that there is a humorous edge to things. I do like that. Colm Meaney Humor #Character #Edge #Situations
I don't happen to have a sense of humor personally, so I don't know what's funny about a character... This happens to be a feature of my life generally. Wallace Shawn Humor #Character #Funny #Life
I love Charlie, Billy Burke's character. Writing for him is so spectacular, he's so funny and wry and every scene he's in he just takes.

The best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any good, and how he treats people who can't fight back. Abigail Van Buren Life #Character #Life #Wisdom
If you look at the game and everything, it's not quite like looking at an animated film, because that's total character. This, this is really movement, but it's got funny little things if you look for the humor. They're actually getting to the character. Don Bluth Humor #Character #Funny #Game

When we think of the ideal, we do not add virtue to virtue, but think of Jesus Christ, so that the standard of human life is no longer a code, but a character. E. Stanley Jones Life #Character #Jesus #Virtue
All I try to do is as earnestly and as acutely as I can, conceive a character and try to portray this character just honestly. If the humor is within the absurdity and the awfulness of situations, then let it be seen that way. Patrick Warburton Humor #Character #Seen #Within

There are certain things I learned when I first started learning about acting, to try and place the character physically and emotionally. And the way you place them emotionally is often with humor. David Duchovny Humor #Acting #Character #Learning
