Comedy : (278) " Some comics really thrive on being disrespectful, especially toward women, and it’s somehow understood as edgy, but I’m the opposite. I’ve never liked curse words for that reason. " - Bryan Callen " Steve Martin is a legendary actor and a wonderful person to work with. He’s incredibly well prepared, and funny off the set. " - David Frankel " Lots of people do stand up shows with no narrative, but I love a beginning, a middle and an end. " - Ellie Taylor " I realized comedy is toughest thing to handle, although I started with theatre and did several stage plays. " - Adithya Menon " I had a lot of fun working with John Candy. We had a pretty good rapport. " - Harold Ramis " I was always interested in comedy and pop culture. " - Randy Rainbow " I’ve written a couple of scripts. Actually, a pilot. I’m not sure I’m allowed to say, but it’s a comedy about three young men in New York City, one of whom may or may not be a romantic like me. " - Andre Holland " Normally, I name my characters after famous comedians. " - Paula Danziger " I’ve always liked and appreciated storytellers like Garry Shandling and Bill Cosby – more long-form comedy. So starting in San Francisco, watching all these great comics – Patton Oswalt, Dave Chappelle – you get to see them a bunch, and you go, ‘Wow, this is where I need to be.’ " - Al Madrigal " I think it’s actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian. " - Octavia Spencer
