I had these kind of unrealistic expectations that were fueled by romantic comedies, and it has both helped me and hurt me in many ways. It helped me because, in general, they've made me hopeful. I just figure things will eventually work out for me. But nobody is like any Tom Hanks character. Nobody is Hugh Grant. No one is Meg Ryan!

Im fascinated by failure, and Im fascinated by finality. Shakespeares historical plays are more universal than his comedies because they relate to the finality of life. Without finality, life would not be beautiful.
George Hickenlooper

I've been pretty well treated by the critics, but the critics who didn't like my comedies hated them with an unbridled passion, and then I would see these same people writing very respectfully about ordinary naturalistic plays.

I think I would love a shot at remaking 'The Philadelphia Story,' as daunting as it is. I still think it's fantastic. I love the '30s comedies because they're allowed to be both comic and elegant, and the women are so complicated in them.

Our comedies are not to be laughed at.
Samuel Goldwyn

The French are funny, sex is funny, and comedies are funny, yet no French sex comedies are funny.

Broadway has changed tremendously from the early days when the shows were referred to as musical comedies. Musical Theater is now a more expanded art form. Back then, singer/actors were not the norm. From the 60's to now, it is necessary to do it all to be a consummate Broadway performer.

I love physical comedy. I love Oscar Wilde, I love Shakespeare comedies, I love improv.
Elizabeth Banks

Unlike typical romantic comedies, Definitely Maybe is not formulaic or predictable and it spans a decade while being set against a political background. Also, the audience doesn't know who ends up with who until the very end, which makes it a sort of romantic mystery comedy.
Isla Fisher

How many times go we to comedies, to masques, to places of great and noble resort, nay even to church only to see the company.
John Donne

After “Melancholia” and “On the Road,” I wanted to do a comedy. And I did so many comedies when I was younger, but if you’re not consistently in those movies, people don’t always think of you for them.
Kirsten Dunst

Ever since the first 'American Pie,' I've always been happy to just have an opportunity, I just didn't think it was going to be with comedies. Now I really like it.
Sean William Scott

I think a sense of humor is a very personal thing, and I don't know if I am talented enough to do romantic comedies.
Charlize Theron

Ponder, your comedies are woeful chaff: Write tragedies, when you would make us laugh.
Horace Walpole

Yes, I was hired by Universal because they needed a comedy director. They had seen Scandal and liked it. I saw an opportunity even in those comedies to begin my project of American films.
Douglas Sirk

Usually comedy is only available to us ladies in the romantic comedy. That's why I hate romantic comedies.
Sandra Bullock

I love comedies. I love watching them. I think I've always been afraid of being on them a little bit.
Jeremy Sisto
Image
In nearly everything I write, I am like a ventriloquist, throwing my voice into my characters, animating them by the slightest twitch as I register my anxieties and alarms. This is true even in my comedies.
Norman Lock

Beaches and romantic comedies are not my thing. I'm a workaholic.

I think back to back romantic comedies are good for black film.

The idea behind doing comedies is that you go home a little happier.

Comedies of manners swiftly become obsolete when there are no longer any manners.
Noel Coward

My perfect Valentine's Day would be coming home to a giant box waiting for me, and it has a gorgeous dress and high-heeled shoes and a handbag. And someone's waiting to do my hair and makeup. You can tell I've been in too many romantic comedies.
Judy Greer

I'd like to do 'My Best Friend's Wedding,' 'Pretty Woman,' Meg Ryan type stuff. Romantic comedies. I'd love to do some action stuff as well.
