I actually love Scorsese comedies. He's an underrated comedy director. I think his comedies are some of the best comedies ever made.
I love good romantic comedies. There just aren't a lot of them. But, I love comedies, and I'll never stop doing them.
There are so many great comedies, right now. I like how comedies are really mixing. They're not just one thing. It can be very moving and dramatic, and yet hilarious.
I don't see myself doing any comedies. I like comedies as much as anyone else; I just don't really have a desire to do them.
I don't often watch broad comedies and think, "Oh well, I could have been a part of that." It's usually the opposite. I usually watch them, enjoy them, admire them, and think, "You know, I really have nothing to contribute to that".
I believe how you measure a good movie is how many times you can see it. With comedies, I like to be a producer, because comedies can get corny and go off track real fast. I'm always the 'less is more' guy when it comes to a scene. So I'ma be the one who will keep it grounded.
I don't claim that our TV comedies are highbrow in anyway, but I think there's a basis to them, and that's why they're more popular than other TV comedies. There's a basis of truth in them, a gut feeling.
Unfortunately, I was making comedies in my 20s, but other people didn't realize they were comedies.
As an actor I get opportunities to do different kind of films. It's not that if I have done a few comedies, I'm averse to other roles or genres. It's just that I go for the films I like and incidentally some of them have been comedies.
I've been in very few flat-out comedies. But I feel like I've always made comedies.
A lot of Christmas episodes of comedies are comedies trying to be dramas.
With comedies, I like to be a producer, because comedies can get corny and go off track real fast.
I don't know how one can differentiate between comedies. A burger is a burger and though it may taste differently in different food joints, the fact remains that it is still a burger. It's the same with comedies.
I don't tend to watch too many American comedies. I love British comedy.
I would say 80% of the scripts I get are dramas and not comedies or romantic comedies, which is funny because that's what I do every week.
It's something that people relate to - and I hope my kid doesn't relate to - but there's a level of believability in playing complex characters. You know, Christopher Walken has done some hilarious comedies, De Niro. There's great room for complexity and darkness to do well in comedies.
