The secret of writing comedy is to know where it’s all going, then get ahead of it Picture Quote #1

Some forms of reality are so horrible we refuse to face them, unless we are trapped into it by comedy. To label any subject unsuitable for comedy is to admit defeat Picture Quote #1

Fifteen years before I became a screen actor, I was in the theatre. A lot of my work was comedy, which I loved doing. It’s harder Picture Quote #1

About 25 years ago, I was in an apartment, and next door, they put on the radio, so I struck the wall with my fist, but they did not put the radio down. I took a tool and banged until I made a hole through the wall. It was like a comedy movie Picture Quote #1

Comedy is just to me, maybe it’s a natural knack, if I can see where the joke is in the writing and I can see where the setup is and I can tell this is the way to make it Picture Quote #1

In comedy, you have to be unafraid to hang from the tree branch naked in the high wind and you have to be absolutely unafraid to look ridiculous and silly Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen too many comics who got their own shows and were undone because they worked for an executive producer who didn’t understand their comedy or their sensibility Picture Quote #1

It’s hard enough to write a good drama, it’s much harder to write a good comedy, and it’s hardest of all to write a drama with comedy. Which is what life is Picture Quote #1

A woman doing comedy doesn’t offend me, but sets me back a bit. I, as a viewer, have trouble with it. I think of her as a producing machine that brings babies in the world Picture Quote #1

Right now, I’d like to just continue on a series where I am doing good work with a balance of comedy and drama. That and do occasional features and movies Picture Quote #1

Comedy is so hard; it’s so much harder than drama. The pacing of it, the energy of it Picture Quote #1

I mean comedy is something that’s very personal and people have strong opinions about Picture Quote #1

When I left school I was full of angst, like any teenager, and I channeled it all into comedy Picture Quote #1

Comedy is obviously a matter of personal taste and the world always needs a clown and some people have no taste at all and any clown will do Picture Quote #1

I’d really been wanting to do a television series. I was looking for a comedy Picture Quote #1

Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there’s been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you. You come to work and you laugh all day, you go home and you feel light and there’s a certain feeling when you’re sitting with the audience and they leave after 90 minutes and it’s just pure escapism and they’re happy Picture Quote #1

I don’t think comedy is necessarily an attack. It’s finding humour in life. I don’t think if you’re making a joke about something you’re automatically demeaning it Picture Quote #1

Why would they have gone to the trouble to hire the best comedy writers in the business to write funny material for us to play straight, if the children in our audience were the only audience Picture Quote #1

Above all, in comedy, and again and again since classical times, passages can be found in which the level of representation is interrupted by references to the spectators or to the fictive nature of the play Picture Quote #1

I take my fun very seriously, whether it’s playing the drums or acting in comedy bits. The need to be disciplined about it, and not take it lightly, and not be too casual, is something I take deeply to heart Picture Quote #1

I had to choose, I’d be so sad. They are flip sides of the same coin. I love both comedy and drama Picture Quote #1

I think we’re the only jokeless show on television. I mean really, we have no setups and no punch lines. It’s not a joke show. There are funny lines and funny moments but again the comedy is born of the human experience and awkward pauses are a great part of what it is to be human Picture Quote #1

Drama or comedy programming is still the surest way for advertisers to reach a mass audience. Once that changes, all bets are off Picture Quote #1

Every day is a surprise. There are confirmations of an interconnectivity and synchronicity which inspire, titillate and confirm the inherent comedy of the universe Picture Quote #1

Comedy springs from the ludicrous; but the ludicrous is stuck in the muck of reality, resolutely hostile to what is impossible Picture Quote #1
