Breaking records is not something you expect to be doing. That's like a sports thing, it's not usually a comedy and writing thing.
It's very difficult to make comedy work; I think it's a very underrated genre.
Men don't hear women.
I'd love to do some comedy. Particularly French comedy, which I know sounds like a contradiction in terms.
I'm not a natural comedian, as an artist. I studied comedy growing up. I would watch Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence, all day.
In my experience, it's not just that serious books get a hearing on comedy shows. But serious books get a serious hearing, as well as a funny one, on comedy shows.
The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They’re superficial and I like articulate comedy.
The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.
To me, comedy is a game.
Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks?
I think Comedy Central and probably all channels are on their way toward being apps accessible on whatever the Roku of the future is.
I've done a lot of drama in my career, but I'm actually more comfortable doing comedy.
I like to play different types roles, but I'd like to do a comedy next.
In a comedy it helps enhance things that were already there.
I didn't know anything about acting, much less about acting in a comedy.
I really like doing television shows, and I anticipated doing a comedy, because that's the place I feel the most comfortable - those are the risks I want to take. But it was always really hard for me to find a script that I really liked.
I do all these various activities like painting and writing, comedy and films probably because not that I'm good at everything but because I'm not good at any of these things.
Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.
I was nervous about playing a lead part in a Working Title romantic comedy and I was also nervous about the fact that I not only had to take my clothes off, but get my willy out. There's certain things you can do to make yourself look better, but there's nothing you can do about your willy. Your willy is your willy and no amount of working out is going to make your willy look any different. You get what you're given. But I wanted to look my best and to whip myself into any semblance of handsomeness. And that was hard going.
Comedy and drama are less ageist media for women than stuff like light entertainment. But in TV or film, women have to be more pleasing on the eye than men.
