Craig Robinson Quotes

For me, the way I stay consistent is through stand-up comedy.

When I was nine, we'd take a bus to the seaside. Coming back, we'd take turns entertaining, singing songs and the like. I tried some stand-up comedy. I had a captive audience in that bus. Then I realized I wanted to do more than that.

Comedy is my proper job. It's what I should be doing, and when I do other bits like my science series, I miss it.

I always loved comedy but I didn't start formally until I was in college.

I did sketch comedy for years. I've always enjoyed it.

I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.

If you do a sketch, that's a very short narrative. Stand-up, it's bit-to-bit, minute-long narratives.

I really loved what I was doing being creative and being funny as a stand-up comedian.

I love making comedy. I never stopped loving it. I will continue to love it and I can't believe that I get to do it.

It takes up enough of my time and interest just working on comedy. I just enjoy it and love doing it.

I always wanted to be a comedic actor - that's what I wanted from the job - to do comedy and to create my own comedy. But I still love doing stand-up and will probably be doing it forever. I'd love to be an old guy who can't really walk, can't really stand-up, and I have to sit on the stool and tell jokes.

I guess I was the class clown - with a name like Albert Einstein, you don't hide in the back. I'd read the school bulletin to the class, and I'd add activities and make stuff up. It was good, a good 10 minutes every morning.

I've always been a fan of comedy. I've always enjoyed it. It's something I'm very passionate about; it's like lifeblood to me. I had to pursue it. I thought I had a little bit of talent, and if I could make a living at it, I would do it. It's worked out so far.

I love storytellers. When I was growing up, my inspirations were watching Eddie Murphy, Dennis Wolfberg, and Louie Anderson. These guys were great at telling stories, and I made that my own style, talking about things that happened to me and trying to make them funny.

I wanted to be a comedian long before I wanted to be a musician, for sure.

I'm used to sort of improvising a lot when I do my comedies.

When I first started comedy, me and my friends were kids.

Comedy is a passion but I don't know if I a am funny enough to make a living out of.

I think comedy is the most difficult thing in the world, I really do.

I guess in my house when I was growing up, I was comfortable trying to be funny. And my dad, of course, it bugged him sometimes. He was trying to rest, and I was constantly trying to say something stupid to get a reaction. But I like doing these movies. You can do it in front of the camera and then it's over. I don't have to worry about being in front of too many people.

I love comedy. I suppose comedy is my first love, in a way. I did a lot of acting, funnily enough, unprofessionally, as a kid. From when I was 10 years old until I was about 19, I was always doing little sketches with my friends, and doing different accents and voices. Probably about 3/4 of those were comedic, in some way, and the other 1/4 was more serious stuff or more action or more dramatic little pieces that I would make. But, I tend to lean towards comedy.

I love doing comedy, I really do. It was perhaps my first love. And I think, as an actor, you're young and you do school plays and the reason you go 'I might do more of this' is because you make people laugh in a school play. You don't go and do Hamlet when you're nine and go: "I feel people were really moved out there!" You do a silly voice and everyone laughs and you go: "Ooh, that feels quite nice. I might make a life out of this!"

I like comedy. I would love to do comedy for a long time.

I really like to do comedy, and I did comedy the first 2 years after I graduated college, so I really love it and appreciate it.

Those early days of comedy are when you get addicted to it.
