I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown.
It’s so hard going into a performance that you’ve worked all week for and put so much time and effort into and when a silly little simple mistake that’s never happened before happens, it can be really discouraging.
One doesn’t want fashion to look ridiculous, silly, or out of step with the times – but you do want designers that make you think, that make you look at fashion differently. That’s how fashion changes. If it doesn’t change, it’s not looking forward. And that’s important to me.
All socio-political phenomena in the U.K. come laden with the baggage of a class-based theory or two attached to them. In the case of gay Tories, there is one particularly silly variant of the category, which asserts that gayness is bred in public schools and thus fits with Conservatism like hand in glove.
The most fun about working with special effects is that you have to really rely on your imagination to build the scene. You can’t actually see how what you’re doing will fit in ultimately and you look silly while doing it but when you see the finished product it becomes something amazing!
For years after ‘The Last Waltz,’ I got all kinds of silly movie offers – or, maybe, not silly, but parts that are not my calling… lots of offers to play some wonderful boyfriend.
I do like writing. When I was a little kid, I used to love writing funny, silly stories – and my mom would always encourage it. I don’t know why I ever stopped!
In my father’s generation, the product was 80 percent of what you were putting into the world, and your personal life was 20 percent. It now seems that 80 percent of the product I put out is silly, made-up stories and what I’m wearing.
When you start feeling silly, you start doing silly things.
You don’t remember people you love by the wise things they say but the silly things they do.
While I prefer generally more personal dramas in which I can stretch myself… and while I’m not a science fiction buff, I consider ‘2001’ a great film, absolutely enthralling; at ‘Star Wars’ I had a fabulous time, and, at ‘Alien,’ while it was a silly story, I was knocked out.
A man that is ashamed of passions that are natural and reasonable is generally proud of those that are shameful and silly.
This is your silly web browser doing that. The file is correctly named.
What really ticks me off is how the public figures you automatically become the roles you play. What most people never see is the silly side of me.
I’m a real street-ball player. I like to do silly tricks and show off.
So many things happen for every event, and if you try to manipulate it, it means you are struggling against the whole universe, and that’s just silly.
At university, I used to write silly little sketches and monologues, but never fiction.
My father was always a straight-up funny guy. He was silly. He was my inspiration.
Lots of people do that silly tweeting.
I grew up in an apolitical household. I never left the country. When I became an adult, I started traveling and became interested in politics, and I probably talked about things in a silly, ignorant way.
Let’s be honest. The powers that be all of a sudden realize that there’s a lot of money to be made from the Latino market. It all comes down to economics. That’s what’s happening. So what! We’re in style. I mean, that’s silly, but I’m taking full advantage of that.
I would look a little silly playing Casanova now.
Career wise, I think the dream for many of us is some kind of late night type of show. Something where you’re allowed to be funny and you get to write, you have guests and you get to do silly skits. That is my ultimate, bucket list career moment.
In comedy, you have to be unafraid to hang from the tree branch naked in the high wind and you have to be absolutely unafraid to look ridiculous and silly.
I don’t get embarrassed easily, and I do silly things all the time!
A friend of mine once wrote a silly article about all these metrosexuals like David Beckham wearing sarongs, and she described me as a ‘heteropolitan.’ I don’t know what that means. I think it was a joke.
I am always fully in tune with the interviewer, who is usually trying to make me look silly. My objective is quite the opposite during an interview: I never use my wit or my intellect to make the interviewer look silly.
We didn’t even think about it, you know? I used to collect laser discs, and you’d have some college professor analyzing It’s a Wonderful Life or Citizen Kane, and now it is pretty funny – the idea of commentary for a silly kid’s movie, you know?
I was able to grow up and do silly things and have a life with only a small amount of public scrutiny.
Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
Modelling is a silly, crazy business.
Jessie Wallace was the first time I erupted. She was late, she was young. She’s not like that any more. I lost my temper. It was silly and I burst into tears and ran up to the producer. I said I had been terrible and amateur.
I only worked theater jobs, but they were all really silly when I first graduated. I was a line monitor at ‘Spamalot,’ which means I got there at 8 A.M. and told people how much the tickets were for standing room. I was an NYU Medical School fake patient, to teach doctors how to talk to patients.
I think there’s nothing better than laughing in life, so that’s nice, to be thought of as someone who can make someone laugh. It’s ’cause I think life is hard. You know, my dad was a really silly man. A great Irish silly man. And that’s fine.
The best things in life are silly.
Comedy chose me. I always had this urge to be silly that I couldn’t control. I remember my father having me read ‘The Three Little Pigs’ to him, and I would improv all around the story, like when one pig’s house got blown over, he put on his gym shoes and took off.
I am Nia – I have certain traits of my own, and I won’t mind telling people that I am a short tempered, immature, silly, normal girl who does mistakes very unlike the sanskari bahu on screen.
I’m a very, very silly girl.
I think that any female who gets asked if she’s a feminist… it’s silly… it’s so interesting when people ask females if they’re a feminist. Of course every female wants to be equal!
If you were to come out and hang out with me, just having fun at a nightclub or a party, that’s kind of the version of Harland you’d get – silly, kind of always saying wacky things.
I think that ‘Full House’ is just a feel-good show. It’s not meant to be anything more than just a little silly, funny, heartfelt, and warm program.
I’d like to say I’m a very silly man. But I’m not that silly. I’m not throwing any diamond ring down a toilet.
What I have never been afraid of is to be a little silly, and you can engage people that way. My view is, first you get them to laugh, then you get them to listen.
I want to be silly, and that’s being authentic just as much as being open and honest. It’s authentic to make weird clown horn noises when it strikes you.
I see bad stuff on the street all the time that I don’t do anything about. I do bad stuff myself all the time. The goal is not to somehow be perfect – that’s silly, that’s naive. The goal is to just recognize there are choices in front of us, and to try to make better ones.
Bieber is the first mega YouTube star, born inexplicably out of a novel and disruptive medium. It has, of course, always been so for pop culture: feverish bubbles, silly novelty acts and disconcerting new forces impose themselves on a reluctant and condescending media.
England is strictly class-based. What’s surprising is how many films are still made with a load of people in silly frocks running around gardens and talking in middle-class accents.
People ask ‘do you make a conscious effort not to swear?’ – if you’re doing silly stuff you’re not tempted to put swearing in. All the comics from my childhood, who were funny without swearing, were the people that influenced me. What I do is quite traditional anyway.
There are a lot of silly projects out there.
I’ve been in silly movies and romantic movies and historic movies.
I know that might sound silly coming from someone my age, but I remember on my 14th birthday having a crisis like my mom should be having. I kept thinking that I was getting older, and I haven’t really accomplished anything. I remember thinking that I better accomplish something real soon.
It’s silly to have a prototype, because one inevitably falls for someone unexpected. My only criterion is she shouldn’t just look nice; she must have a personality, too.
When a woman falls in love with me, I feel guilty. I am convinced that it’s pure obstinacy that keeps me from reciprocating her passion. As I explain to her that I’m gay, it sounds, even to me, like a silly excuse; I scarcely believe it myself.
I have grown up a lot over the years and now I can laugh about the silly mistakes I made on TV.
No, Jar Jar Binks was fine by me but probably went on a little bit too long. When they were in trouble and were battling, it should have been more serious and it became a bit too silly.
