I think the best romantic comedies don't have villains.
People are amazed that I do comedy. I always did comedy.
I'm in the mood for another Moonstruck experience, for another romantic comedy.
Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.
The principles of comedy are the principles of comedy. I can hear funny.
There's so much comedy on television. Does that cause comedy in the streets?
Well my biggest dream is to be in a romantic comedy.
I'm not a big fan of romantic comedies, believe it or not.
I would like to do maybe a smaller romantic comedy.
Romantic comedies are backbreaking to write because they have to be fresh.
I like comedy. I would love to do comedy for a long time.
Without a doubt in sketch comedy there are fewer women than men.
Standup really is a young man's game, a single young man's game. Even when I was younger, when I wasn't single, it was hard to be on the road because you go through relationships because your girlfriend kinda got tired of you being gone.
I think expressing yourself and working hard can't help but have great results. Look at Zach Galifanakis. He didn't tweet. He didn't have a podcast. He just went out and did the funniest standup you'll ever see in your life. And he was rewarded for t...
In improv, the whole thing is that it is a relationship between the two people, as a back and forth. In standup, you don't really want to be listening to what somebody is saying; you want to project your jokes into their face. And that's really not a...

The thing about the performance part... starting with improv and standup, you're starting with yourself as the character, and I don't feel as much like, 'Oh, I'm a vessel for -' I feel like someone who calls themselves an actor is a vessel.
As a standup comedian, you have to develop a sense of fearlessness. It's really important for your livelihood and your well-being. And if you don't do that, you're going to fail; you're never going to be able to stand up on the cliff and jump off.
Hudson: Is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bughunt? Gorman: All we know is that there's still no contact with the colony, and that a xenomorph may be involved. Frost: Excuse me sir, a-a what? Gorman: A xenomorph. Hicks: It's a bughunt.
In my standup work, I always do these characters, older people who are just off to the side. It's easier to write a story about the guy who made it to the top, but the middle is so much more interesting, so much more murky.
Whether it's writing a monologue or writing standup or writing a screenplay or writing a play, I think staying involved in the creation of your own work empowers you in a way, even if you don't ever do it. It gives you a sense of ownership and a sens...
