Quote by Fanny Brice

Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious, you're a clown.

Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You

Summary

This quote speaks to the dynamic that humor can create in a person's life. It suggests that being known for one's sense of humor can sometimes act as a barrier to being taken seriously by others. The expectation of always being funny can create a perception that one is not entitled to express seriousness or deeper emotions. As a result, the quote implies that individuals who are primarily funny may feel constrained in their interactions, constantly having to maintain the clown-like image that is expected of them.
