Matt LeBlanc Quotes

Something I always admire, especially in female comedians, is that they're willing to make themselves look terrible.

Comedy is incredibly hard. You have to be loose. You have to be not afraid to fail.

I think comedy has to be very fearless, or it just gets bland.

I think I've been called edgy - but in all honesty, there is a safety in what I do because I'm always the idiot. Unless you're just listening to buzz words and not taking into account the context of the situation, you see I'm always the ignoramus.

I'm never afraid to try something if I think it's funny. And I know I'll regret it if I don't.

There are a lot of things I might be good at, such as competitive figure skating, window washing from ten stories up, and being an open heart surgeon. I might also make an excellent Kamikaze pilot - except for the fact that I don't want to learn how to fly and have no interest in taking my own life on behalf of Japan.

I do all my own stunts. I'm kidding.

I consider myself a fearless idiot.

Sometimes the stuff I come up with is so silly I feel like I need to apologize at the end of every one of them.

I like to think of myself as the corniest, most awful thing you could possibly imagine.

Like: 'Don't walk out there with one hand in your pocket unless there's somethin' in there you're going to bring out.' You gotta commit. You've gotta go out there and improvise and you've gotta be completely unafraid to die. You've got to be able to take a chance to die. And you have to die lots. You have to die all the time.

Sometimes we even have to risk making fools of ourselves.

I'm not sure when exactly I knew I was funny, but I always knew I was different. I never had an 'edit' button and would say whatever came into my head. Most of the time, what came out of my mouth was the very thing everyone else was thinking - but too polite or afraid to verbalize.

There's not one thing that inspires me the most. Me and my friends joke around with each other and hang out so much that whatever makes us laugh really hard makes it into 'Workaholics.' But the characters that I think are funny are guys that are confidently stupid.

I think comedy, so much of it comes out of the strange sort of golden instant 'cause you don't know why it's funny, but you captured it.

I was fooling everyone by surrounding myself with funny people. But then I put myself out there - writing my own sketches, going on stage with nobody surrounding me - and for some reason people were still laughing.

There is certainly a higher percentage of wit in British comedy than in American comedy. What always tickles me is the way in which people try to use their intellect to get themselves out of tricky situations but never quite manage to do so - much to their enormous embarrassment.

Things I say are sometimes silly.

They will take a role that scares them over a role that doesn't. That's another thing I like about actors.

Sure, give me an adventure and I'll ride it.

Calculation never made a hero.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

Not many women will go out on a limb to make themselves really unattractive and unfeminine so you can get the laughs, but it's a great thing to do in my book.

I like adventure.

Danger gleams like sunshine to a brave man's eyes.
