The misconception is that standup comics are always on. I don't know any really funny comics that are annoying and constantly trying to be funny all the time.
When I read a script, I have to see the funny, and if I can see it's funny, it helps me to be able to transmit that.
You know, I'm just a very boring, not very funny person in person. I don't feel pressured to be otherwise.
The funny thing is the songs that people think are about me probably aren't. And the songs that are probably are the ones they wouldn't think... so that's where it kind of is funny.
When human judgment and big data intersect there are some funny things that happen.
Being funny has always mattered a lot to me. It's why I started acting - to make my friends laugh.
When I turned about 12 or 13, I realised that being funny wasn't about remembering jokes. It was about creating them.
I take a lot of pride in managing to be funny without having a victim at the end of my joke. I laugh at a really dark joke as much as the next person, but my jokes, I feel, don't have to hurt anybody to be really funny.
I find, when you're an optimist, life has a funny way of looking after you.
But I think funny and talent will always win out; I mean, of course there are hurdles, but I think if you're funny you will get over all of that.
A movie that's about other horror movies isn't interesting. A movie about who we are, is.
I like zombie movies, and I like genre movies a lot. To watch. Less so to make, I think. But I grew up on that stuff. I would just grow up watching a lot of horror movies, a lot of slasher movies and then zombie movies.
The earliest movies that I loved were French movies and Italian movies. I grew up watching those kind of movies and often find the truest looks at human nature - you can find them in another country's movies.
I watch mostly every martial arts movie... I really like movies that aren't just martial arts. I like movies that have spiritual meaning behind them, like samurai movies, or movies that have meditation.
It's such a silly little thing, the heart.
And I'm not assuming and I'm not judging. I'm just being curious.
Funny thing, how much weaker boys are than girls.
I've always believed that there are funny people everywhere, but they're just not comedians. In fact, some of my best comedic inspirations were not professional entertainers.
We don't avoid the word... just the action.
The longer and more carefully we look at a funny story, the sadder it becomes.
I always think any circumstances can be funny. Not that I'm irresponsible, but when things go wrong, I always come up with a joke or think of something funny to say.
