I wouldn't consider myself a traditional sitcom actor or someone you'd even think would be in a sitcom.

I loved comedy, but I never saw myself as a sitcom guy. I envisioned myself doing an hour drama or doing movies.

If you ask me, you see, I prefer doing film. The reason I'm doing a sitcom is because it's much more approachable.

If I'm going to be the best in what I do, I have to study what I'm doing, I have to see what I'm doing. I have to see it, I have to hear it. I'm just starting to appreciate myself - not starting, but appreciating myself in a way where I can look at myself back in a movie or listen to myself as much as I do now.

Mary J. Blige

I really set out to do this traditional looking and traditional sounding multi-cam sitcom, but then make the world as elastic as an animated show could be. Make the world as surreal as we wanted it to be.

The sitcom's traditional role has been to comfort the viewer who feels burdened by the unreality of American expectations.

Lee Siegel

I love that 'Black-ish' is a pretty traditional sitcom, structurally. It functions like the sitcoms from the '80s and '90s that I grew up with.

Daveed Diggs

A lot of the traditional sitcom stuff I did - I think I could have gone that route when I was younger as a staff writer, and I just didn't want to.

Brian Posehn

I don't see much of myself in the traditional Western hero.

Lisa Joy

Black Books adheres to a more old fashioned, traditional sitcom format, which I think works, because in its own way, it's quite theatrical.

Dylan Moran

When people see you have a song on MTV, they think you are doing well - but you know, the way the traditional label deal was set up, it is really hard for an artist, unless they sold a lot, to see anything.
