'The Office' is less a comedy than so many other comedies that have been on the air. It's really about the balance between what is real and what is comic.
B. J. Novak
Image
I think that sometimes, romantic comedies have to be really broad, and that the plot of people falling in and out of love or whatever is not enough. Enough Said had that stuff, but I wanted it to be fun and funny while also grounded in reality.
Nicole Holofcener

Low comedies are written for the drawing-room, the kitchen and the stable, and if you cut out the kitchen and the stable the drawing-room can't support the play by itself.
Mark Twain

Most comedy is not very ambitious. You probably can't name more than a handful of comedies that would qualify for Best Picture.

Many hundred-million-dollar Hollywood comedies aren't any good. They're trying to shock you.

Romantic comedies are there to give us dreams and butterflies, but what we can create in our own lives could be not only better but real.

I love comedy I'm super passionate about it, and thank God it's super in right now to have female empowered comedies.

When I was younger, I always did movies that teenagers would watch, not adults. I did 'Crazy/Beautiful' or comedies like 'Bring It On.'

As an actor, when you're doing comedies, you're around fantastic, funny people and you hopefully have a really good time doing it.

All the genres are so blended nowadays. There are lots of comedies out there that are more realistic than dramas, and some dramas out there that are so broad and wacky that they don't even pass for a broad, wacky comedy.
Madeline Zima

American comedies especially are all about these men being browbeaten by their wives and it's impossible for me to watch.
Joe Manganiello

I think the best comedies came out during the Depression. Personally.
Zooey Deschanel

Comedies are doing well because I think people want to laugh and not think about everything for a little bit.
Jonah Hill

I love comedies. I take comedy very seriously as a form. It's a serious form, involving a certain way of looking at life, specifically the painful aspects of life. I get asked, How can you have such failures in your films? Well, what else is life about? There's some sense of constant failure in something. Humor gives you a distance from it.
Alexander Payne
Image
I love romantic comedies. They're for me the easiest thing to do and the most natural to do. There's nothing natural about holding an uzi hanging out of a moving van shooting at people. That's not second nature to me, thank God.
Gabrielle Union
Image
I love comedy. I don't approach it any different. I'm not a comedian. I'm not a stand-up. I just do it like a part and personally, I love to watch comedies. If you don't get to do what you like to watch you get frustrated.
Uma Thurman

But the truth of the matter is, that was fairly, fairly early on in Goebbels' 800 movies that he made in Germany. The majority of them, especially once the war got going, you hardly saw Nazi officers in it at all. They were mostly musicals and comedies and melodramas and stories of great German men from the past.
Quentin Tarantino

I'd just like to retire quietly with dignity, secure in the knowledge that no more comedies will ever be made now that I'm gone.

My father was very funny, so I grew up with humor in the house. And I was always really attracted to comedies on TV. I was always really attracted to comics.
Susan Stroman

When you're spending your money for a nice outing, you want to go have a good time. And I always thought comedies, laughing, was something that was made for entertainment on that level. And records and maybe TV and stuff like that is really made to be heavy.
Ice Cube
Image
I had an older brother who was very interested in literature, so I had an early exposure to literature, and and theater. My father sometimes would work in musical comedies.
Francis Ford Coppola
Image
I don't get the great story line, action, mystery scripts I get comedies. And relationship comedies are what I do. It's what attracted me to American Pie.
Samuel L. Jackson
Image
Both my parents recognized early on that I wanted to do something in comedy, and they were really supportive. They're the ones who bought me Steve Martin records and let me watch R-rated comedies long before they probably should have.
Chris Hardwick
Image
I don't have anything saying, 'I'm going to do this many new films, and this many comedies.' But, it's always exciting for me, whenever it is a new character and something I haven't done before, and that's part of what draws me to it.
