When I first started doing comedy years ago, I used to be the biggest Michael Richards fan. I used to love this dude. He was on a TV show called 'Fridays,' and man, he was tall and lanky - and I was tall and lanky. I love physical comedy, and he was a physical comedian, and I said, 'Man, I love this guy.'
I can sing, I can act, my physical comedy is on point. I can do the splits.
I believe in physical comedy, because that reaches out most to people.
Neck-down comedy was no longer valid after the 1980s alternative comedy revolution. Everything became about the cerebral. And with that came positive things - it helped get rid of some of the sexism and homophobia - but it also meant a lot of physical comedy was lost.
I would love to do a comedy, and I think physical comedy is something I probably have a knack on.
I've always been a fan of physical comedy. It kind of hits you in a different way; it bypasses the intellect and hits you in the gut.
I like physical comedy. And I like the old comedies.
Acting by yourself is pretty darn hard, especially having to do physical comedy.
I love physical comedy. I adore comedy of any kind.
I never was shy, but as far as telling jokes, I'm the worst. I like physical comedy; it's where I feel comfortable.
It's a great counter to doing the soap because it's a comedy. It's real physical comedy.
I guess you get pigeon-holed in Hollywood, but I'm ok with that because I've been able to do a lot. I started in the theater, then I went to stand-up comedy, and then when I went into the movies to do comedy and drama and big movies and small movies.
I keep my stand-up comedy notes in a pile on my desk. I don't organize my act. I keep myself in a state of confusion. It stresses me out, but I prefer creative chaos.
I feel I don't get credit enough for it, the pioneering I did in comedy.
If you want to reach any kind of poignancy or meaning a lot of times, coming from comedy is the best way to get there.
In actuality, 'Sammy's House' can and should be read as an entirely fictional comedy set in a fascinating political world.
Postmodern comedy doesn't work well with very old audiences, because it's making fun of the comedy they enjoy.
I'm not the guy with the enormous comedy nose or the big feet or the bad posture or the whatever; a physical comic has certain things.
My preference is for people who can do sketch comedy or situational comedy, where it's not a joke, but it's telling a story.
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
