The Americans just have a great sort of wit about them.
Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food.
Anyone can tell the truth, but only very few of us can make epigrams.
I was always a fan of Groucho Marx as a kid.
Things people say strike me as amusing, and I am prone to saying out loud what everybody's thinking.
As a friend once pointed out, the crotchety dowagers do tend to get all the best lines. That may be why I have so many of them in my books.
I'm not really a comedian, innit; I just naturally say things which people class as funny.
President Reagan's one-liners were terrific.
I love making wisecracks.
I've known for quite a while that I was a funny girl.
I like quips. I like whiffs of cynicism and I think they can be witty. But I don't really know where wittiness is constructive.
I'd like my super power to be puns; I'd like to be great at puns: pun power. Then I could go on loads of panel shows and live off that forever.
I like questions that tee me up to make weird jokes, frankly.
True wit, to every man, is that which falls on another.
I'm a plethora of stolen jokes and kitschy references.
I love comedy. It's something that I think Marvel does so well, and it's one of the reasons I love Marvel so much is the quips that you get: that kind of underlying everything and cutting through the very heavy emotional stuff.
Some people say funny things, but I say things funny.
My mother was funnier than anybody I ever worked for. My father was as funny as this coat. Not a laugh a minute, my father.
My family is just naturally funny.
It is having in some measure a sort of wit to know how to use the wit of others.
