Quote by Rowan Atkinson
No, no, I was only funny on stage, really. I, I, think I was funny as a person toward my classmates when I was very young. You know, when I was a child, up to about the age of 12.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker distinguishes between their onstage persona and personal life humor. They clarify that while they were genuinely funny and amusing on stage, their ability to make people laugh as a person was limited to their childhood up until the age of 12. This suggests that they may have lost some of their natural humor as they grew older or became more aware of their stage presence, highlighting the distinction between entertaining others professionally and being naturally humorous in everyday life.
