“People of humor are always in some degree people of genius.”– Samuel Taylor Coleridge Related Quotes “Comedy has to be based on truth. You take the truth and you put a little curlicue at the end.”– Sid Caesar “The man with the real sense of humor is the man who can put himself in the spectator’s place and laugh at his own misfortune.”– Bert Williams “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.”– Paul Feig
