It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians.
I would like to explore comedy, I want to do more theatre, and I definitely want a future in film. I love science-fiction.
I feel like any time John Oliver is added to something, the comedy is instantly there. He's so funny.
I think if actors don't think of themselves as funny in real life they think they can't do comedy.
The Internet has done nothing but good for comedy all around. Comedians no longer have to rely on TV execs and club owners deciding if they are funny or not.
You know, I've always thought that it would be really funny if somebody made a romantic comedy where absolutely everything went well from beginning to end.
If you are doing stand-up comedy, you have to be confident in what you are doing. That doesn't mean just because you are confident you are funny.
A romantic comedy has to be funny and make you think about life; but the obstacle that has to be overcome is key.
People don't want to listen to a celebrity tweeting about their charities and shows. That's why comedy writers do well - we put out little funny ideas.
I do find comedy difficult. I don't know why. Maybe I think about it too much. There's a tremendous amount of pressure to be funny.
Most people are used to the T.V. comedy method of one joke every 18 seconds. And that's why it's not funny... There's no time for anything to develop.
I love a lot of comedy actors and actresses like Kristen Wiig and Tina Fey and all those women who are really brilliant and funny.
It takes intelligence to make real comedy, and it takes a reality base to create all that little stuff I like to do that makes you giggle inside.
My idea at this time, which was slowly developing, was to create a comedie humaine with little people, average people - samples from every period in American life.
I would say I try to make my comedy really personal. I try to tell stories that happened to me, experiences from my life.
I really love comedy and weirdly enough, I love how my journey has ended up. I get to laugh all day long.
It's so hard for me to kind of fall in love with comedy, but if something comes my way... I mean, I loved 'Weird,' I thought that was a really fun character.
I just like doing comedies, and think that my timing and love for the genre set me apart from other young women who look like me.
I think that people who do enjoy my stand-up comedy and the people who get it and the people who are taken in by it, they see that I'm a guy that has love of the game.
On the comedy side of what I love as a filmmaker are Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, and Eddie Murphy; those are my favorites.
Acting-wise, I haven't done a lot of comedy, so I would love to work with Jane Lynch. I think she's hilarious.
