Unless you're Jack Lemmon or Cary Grant, there are few guys who can do comedy and drama.
It's always been a dream of mine to be in a Woody Allen comedy.
There's no way to describe what I do. It's just me.
I actually love Scorsese comedies. He's an underrated comedy director. I think his comedies are some of the best comedies ever made.
I was very influenced by the musicals and romantic comedies of the 1930s. I admired Gene Harlow and such, which probably explains why, since the end of my marriage, I've dated nothing but a succession of blondes.
Humor helps ease the tension of race and the differences in society. If there wasn't comedy I don't know if Obama could have ever become president.
To me, horror and comedy never work. Never worked for me, anyway.
I'm Dave Chappelle and I'm a chronic masturbator.
Some of the best dramatic actors have started in comedy.
Comedies are very hard to do. They are difficult. Unless there's the Judd Apatow school, where they're like okay, we know that, we're going to do those. Or unless it's something that's far to the other side.
There's always a message in my comedy.
I don't think comedy is something you learn. I think it's something that's either there or it's not.
Yeah, romantic comedies are the hardest movies to make. Maybe one works a year.
Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It's a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you; it's a way to survive and get closer to the truth.
I like to invest as a performer in the director's vision and then bring a sense of reality to whatever I'm doing, whether it's comedy or whether it's drama, and trust that they're going to tell me if something's reading as funny or if it's reading as dramatic or reading in the right tone.
You can only be embarrassed if you allow yourself to be embarrassed. If you embrace it and just accept that you're kind of a klutz, and you're able to make it into comedy gold.
I actually got the part. And I thought, Well, I'll do it for a while. I'll just quit if it's stupid.
I'm really attracted to authors who take on really tricky material with a very open mind and take a subject matter that you wouldn't think would be a comedy.
I like old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I'm an old-fashioned gal.
Good comedy is ageless.
