I am not doing comedy because the genre is successful. If that was the case, I would have done a run-of-the-mill comedy film. I set my own trends. I like to give something new and different to my audiences. I want to do the kind of comedy that has be...
Here's the thing, with comedy - and I learned this from Will Ferrell - you can't be ashamed. If you're doing comedy, you have to fully commit to the joke. Shame is not part of it. If you act shy or uncomfortable about your body, that makes the audien...
I did sketch comedy with a troupe at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
I can't imagine getting bored with comedy or thinking comedy is beneath us suddenly.
Is it spoken word? Kinda, but that's a weird area. Is it comedy? Well, it's funny but no, it's not comedy.
I like comedy a lot. I love comedy. It's so much fun, but it's hard, too.
I'd love to do some comedy. Particularly French comedy, which I know sounds like a contradiction in terms.
Life is dramatic and comedic at times. Sometimes in the most dramatic situations, there is comedy. And good comedy comes from a sense of reality.
My goal on my bucket list is to write a romantic comedy movie.
Hugh Grant is the main man. He's the number one romantic comedy man in the world.
I do love comedy, and when it's a comedy moment and you can make people laugh, of course it is wonderful.
I watch 'The Notebook.' I love romantic movies. I love romantic comedies.
Yeah, romantic comedies are the hardest movies to make. Maybe one works a year.
In every tragedy, an element of comedy is preserved. Comedy is just tragedy reversed.
I think the world of comedy is a relatively small community, and especially for women in comedy, there just aren't that many people involved.
Over the years, I've realized that I have as much in common with the performance artist, the standup comedian, the screenwriter, as I do with the theologian. I'm in an odd world where I make things and share them with people.
I get burned out on standup. But I like acting. I do like it. But sometimes you just feel like a monkey. You just feel like a complete tool. But I like it. I do like it. Stand-up is just more free. A lot more freedom because you just do what you want...
Anybody who's done standup will tell you that there's nothing like it. The show starts at 8:00, the curtain goes up and there's nobody else except you and the audience, and you just perform for them for two hours. Nobody yells, 'Cut!' There are no re...
When I started doing standup when I was 17, I was talking about being Indian and specifically ethnic jokes. Straightforward stuff that was fairly ignorant that I knew would get the laugh. It wasn't flipping stereotypes; it was using them.
here’s why I take comedies seriously: they present and celebrate the world in which we survive our own and others’ mistakes, follies, transgressions, and deep sins. However lightly, dimly, or bleakly, comedies revel in our survival—in the delay...
I love doing comedy. I find comedy quite hard work. Comedy's underrated, I think, by actors, you know? It's difficult to get it right and get it funny. I really enjoy doing it. I kind of wish I'd done it more. I can't complain. I've had a fair crack ...
