You know, stand-up comedy is where I pretty much started out.

I don't know if it's a romantic comedy but I'm in the beginning of the first of the season of "The West Wing." We shot it last year. I don't know. If anyone asks me to be in one, I'll jump on it.

To me, the musical is best when it's a musical comedy. So if you have a very, very funny show, and very good, funny songs, that's what the musical does best.

We participate in a tragedy; at a comedy we only look.

My new movie, Fools Rush In, is a romantic comedy and the girl I play in that is very warm, very sweet.

I don't want to sit and cry for an hour in a movie. I'd rather have an action or a comedy.

Comedy is so fun. I don't know how these people can make movies and work on them for four months and they're these sob stories. I don't know how emotionally you get through that.

It's both funny and sad which seem to me to be the two basic ingredients of good comedy.

Unless you're Jack Lemmon or Cary Grant, there are few guys who can do comedy and drama.

It's good Xerox is known for its copying machines, and it's good Jim Carrey is known for comedy.

You know, dramas are much more expensive to do than say a comedy, so any kind of deficit like that is picked up on when it comes time for them to pick up new shows.

At those times I got into... I suppose you call it a rut. I used to do comedy, comedy, comedy and I suddenly thought I ought to break away from this somehow.

I had a terrible job letting me do anything that wasn't comedy.

I used to write bits and pieces of comedy material for various comics that were at the Windmill... as well as my film job, I was under contract, I was allowed to do that and everything.

Avoiding humiliation is the core of tragedy and comedy.
