There were a few teachers who just did not like me because of my face. Once, I was told to stand in the corner until I cheered up. The attitude was, Oh, for Gods sake, whats the matter with him? But its just a natural expression. – Jack Dee
Mmmm… the comedy that matters is the comedy you pull out of thin air. Its a bit like when something funny has happened and you try to explain it to someone else and end up saying, You had to be there. – Jack Dee
Im just part of a tradition of people who arent pleased. I would never think anyone else who has the same attitude was getting it from me. Id just think theyre… sensible. – Jack Dee
The jokes are great but what really matters for a comedian is his performance, his whole attitude, and the laughs that he gets between the jokes rather than on top of the jokes. – Jack Dee
Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth. – Francesca Lia Block
