What I like in comedies are really two things: stories that are character-driven and stories that are rooted in authenticity.
I think comedy is more my instinct and more what I'm geared towards.
I don't like this young crudeness now which is supposed to be comedy on Friday nights.
It's always been said that comedy comes mostly out of the dark side anyway.
Instead of going into politics, I decided to go into comedy, which is the second most daunting career path for a woman.
The real reason for comedy is to hide the pain.
Comedy arises out of necessity, because some things are so dark that you have to laugh about it.
The day of the wedding went like these things generally do, full of anxious moments interspersed with black comedy.
It's very difficult to make comedy work; I think it's a very underrated genre.
I work with a lot of kids. Every year, for the past fifteen years, I work at Comedy Camp where I work with a lot of kids.

If the difference between guys and men is still unclear, here are a few examples that apply to dating: A guy uses women to build his self-esteem. A man already has it. A guy likes to "hang out" with a woman he's interested in. A man asks her out. A g...
OMG, I think I’ve become a feminist. I mean, I’ve always been in favor of women voting and being paid the same as men for doing the same job. But then, the other day on the train, I didn’t get up and give a woman my seat. I thought about it. Bu...
A romantic man often feels more uplifted with two women than with one: his love seems to hit the ideal mark somewhere between two different faces.
a foreign affair juxtaposed with a stateside and domestically approved romantic fancy is mysteriously attractive due to circumstances knowing it will only be parlayed into a memory
They [the critics] deal with Schoenberg’s early works and all their wealth by classifying them, with the music-historical cliché, as late romantic post-Wagnerian. One might just as well dispose of Beethoven as a late-classicist post-Haydnerian.
