Comedy Quotes

I try to measure the amount of truth in a work rather than just looking at the generic distinction between comedy and drama Picture Quote #1

I went to drama school for four years at Carnegie Mellon, conservatory training before television comedy. I was doing Shakespeare and Chekov plays. It’s about delivering on the promise of a $100,000 education and taking the shackles off and trying the hand at my craft. I’m thrilled with what I’ve seen so far Picture Quote #1

I went to drama school and, after that, went to Paris to train at a place called Ecole Philippe Gaulier. When I came home, I realised I’d have to have a serious stab at it. I didn’t have an agent and didn’t have the traditional drama school showcase, so I started a comedy group with a couple of friends Picture Quote #1

I think when someone who’s known for doing drama does a comedy but just tries to be funny, that’s a mistake Picture Quote #1

A lot of people who do drama say comedy is the hardest thing, but, not wanting to sound like a bighead, comedy is easy for me, as I’ve always been fairly funny Picture Quote #1

I love to do comedy, and I don’t think of things as drama or comedy. I think that if it’s a funny line, it’s a funny line. If it’s a funny moment, it’s a funny moment Picture Quote #1

Comedy is probably a lot harder for me. Maybe it’s because I’ve been doing drama for so long or maybe it’s because... you don’t want to search for a laugh; you can’t try to be funny, you just have to naturally be funny or be in a situation that’s funny Picture Quote #1

And the only studies were - Rodney Dangerfield was my mentor and he was my Yale drama school for comedy Picture Quote #1

King of California’ was just, I thought, a really great, fresh, original kind of script. I loved the tone, the mix of tragedy, comedy, and drama, and that it was a good part Picture Quote #1

There’s no reason to do ‘ex and the City’ if it’s not going to be everything ‘Sex and the City’ is, which is vibrant emotions, comedy, drama... and also, style Picture Quote #1

Outside of ‘Justified,’ I do like to keep it to comedy. When I’m not there, I try to seek out stuff that sort of more along the lighter fare. I have more fun on those sets than I do on drama sets just because when it’s heavy, it’s heavy, and it’s hard to get away from it 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

As a writer, I haven’t delved into dramatic writing. As an actor, I could always, even more so than comedy, do drama Picture Quote #1

Most people haven’t seen my dramatic work, but I did 10 years of theater before I ever became a comic. I’m just better known for comedy Picture Quote #1

You can think of Hollywood as high school. TV actors are freshmen, comedy actors are maybe juniors, and dramatic actors - they’re the cool seniors Picture Quote #1

I like dramatic stuff, and I have a goofball side, too. I like to do comedy and off-beat things as much as something really, really serious Picture Quote #1
