Women, a lot of the time, are so much funnier than men, but they just choose not to do comedy for a living.
I want to see a ton more comedy for women.
I love to read books by women I look up to who are smart, funny, and interesting, like Tina Fey's 'Bossypants' and Mindy Kaling's 'Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?'
Women behaving badly has always been funny, to me personally, so I knew I wanted to do something like that.
There always have been funny women.
Society is really coming to a point where they're not asking if women can be funny anymore. We all know they obviously are.
I don't know why all three, my comedic idols are... women.
Coquetry is the essential characteristic, and the prevalent humor of women; but they do not all practice it, because the coquetry of some is restrained by fear or by reason.
Women have been funny for years.
Ladies are honest. They're my motivation. They know what's funny, and the dudes just follow.
I think women have such rich emotional lives that they are expressive about. I also think they're funny. I like watching strong female characters, and I like writing them. I don't know if it's conscious that I gravitate towards women, but it's certainly evolved that way.
Women's humor seems to be a little more supportive. It's just kind of trying to make the other one laugh through funny voices and kind of talking about other people. I respond to that. I feel less like I'm going to get beat up in a room full of women than I do in a room full of guys.
When I first started doing press interviews, the big question was, 'Do you think women are funny?' People would ask you that in an interview. In an interview! It's like, of course they are.
Why have they been telling us women lately that we have no sense of humor -- when we are always laughing? . . . and when we're not laughing, we're smiling.
I don't think the public here buy this idea that women and men speak different comedic languages.
Since there have been men and women, there have been funny women.
We need more female voices to come out there and do comedy.
Obviously, it's the Lucille Balls of the world who helped make humor accessible to women and in a voice that women related to. I just wanted to continue that.
Guys will definitely settle for women who get the joke. But a woman who can make you laugh? It's not high on a guy's must list. Perhaps it should be.
Doing a comedy is a bit different for girls.
There's always an article coming out, saying, 'The new thing is funny women!'
Yes, some women are funny. No, some women aren't funny. It's similar to how some women are tall and, you know, some women are short.
There's a lot of pretty funny women out there.
Usually comedy is only available to us ladies in the romantic comedy. That's why I hate romantic comedies.
I think as time goes by you'll get female comics who are weirder - you'll get a female Mighty Boosh.
