If you elect a matinee idol mayor, you’re going to have a musical comedy administration Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been part of comedy. One of the things about our family was that if we were reasonably funny with each other, particularly my two brothers and myself, when my father was upset with something you’d want to make sure in some way you made him laugh. Because when he didn’t laugh, you were in trouble! Picture Quote #1

Especially when you deal with comedy, you have got to be really honest because it’s the honesty and the spontaneity that causes people to chuckle, that catches people Picture Quote #1

I wear so many disguises on the show that only a real comedy fan might spot me Picture Quote #1

Every time I’ve done comedy in, like, traditional comedy clubs, there’s always these comedians that do really well with audiences but that the other comedians hate because they’re just, you know, doing kind of cheap stuff like dancing around or doing, like, very kind of base sex humor a lot, and stuff like that Picture Quote #1

An actor who is good at comedy can also be very good at drama, but not necessarily vice versa Picture Quote #1

One of my biggest problems with comedy was that I did not understand some of the jokes Picture Quote #1

I suddenly realized that comedy, for me, was just being honest, and playing it for real. I’ve seen so many wonderful actors who turn into creatures from another planet when they’re told they are supposed to be playing comedy Picture Quote #1

My day jobs... I knew I was bad at those, so I didn’t really have the confidence to think that I could do comedy. But I knew I hated the day jobs Picture Quote #1

Don’t get me wrong, there are sometimes if I go and see a really funny comedy, that I wished I had smoked a joint. I’ll be honest with you. That’s the truth Picture Quote #1
