To be good, you need to believe in what you're doing.
I always wanted to do Restoration comedy. It seems like so much fun.
Comedy does offer an avenue to television and film careers for untelegenic people that great drama does not.
Comedy is a man in trouble. And without it, there's no humor.
Most modern comedy is crap.
I started selling out comedy clubs before I got to town with no advertising. I was selling out theaters just on the rumor that I was going to be there.
In some ways, comedy and something like a musical do go hand-in-hand.
You know, I grew up on romantic comedies, and it's hard to find a new way to tell that story.
I don't go to see many comedies anymore, because I guess it feels like another day at the office.
The funny thing is, Dennis Miller got me back into comedy.
Bob Saget was known, in the comedy clubs in those days, as extremely funny but with dark humor. It was always an inside joke among comics, when he got Full House, it was, like, wow, hes playing this all-American dad kind of thing. That was not Bob Saget. His comedic style is definitely more twisted, and he has an edgier side than he showed in Full House.
I one hundred percent recognize that comedy is a more narcissistic profession and that I cannot directly improve people's lives the way I could if I had stayed in the policy world. But the trade-off is that I'm happier doing jokes.
I don't know what I'd do if I was making a romantic comedy; I wouldn't feel like I was earning my $100 a day.
My favorite movies are all romantic comedies. I love the romantic comedies. I'd still have to say Pretty Woman. I still think that it's one of the best ever.
Comedy is a serious business. It's frustrating when I can't find the right thing that makes the crew laugh. If I don't make them laugh, I get very disappointed in myself. You don't really have a live audience, so you just depend on the crew to let you know if you're doing something funny.
I don't have to change anything. I think that's the secret to comedy. You want to be universal and appeal to everyone.
I still want to do a comedy series.
I do films that I like. I have done comedy, romance, everything, and I always like to do it differently from the previous ones.
I do some of my best stand-up comedy during sound checks.
Comedy has been so good to me.
