Harold Lloyd was not a comedian. But he was the finest actor to play a comedian that I ever saw.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.
I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.
Comedians are not usually actors, but imitations of actors.
I was an actor before becoming a comedian.
I'm not a comedian, I'm an actor.
I really understood a lot more about comedy after listening to Bill Hicks, who died at 32 years old. He's probably the best comedian who ever lived. Although you can't say that because of Carlin, Cosby and Pryor.
I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion.
I'm a comedic actor, not to mix words, but it's something I think about. A comedic actor. I like to think that Christopher Guest, Phil Hartman, Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness are comedic actors. And Dan Aykroyd, too. Those are my heroes.
The only one that got through was Jimmy Walker, because he plays the gas station attendant. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that we were kind of purists at the time, and we didn't want any comedians.
The comedians I liked were Bill Cosby and Steven Wright, like just always as a comedic actor. I always liked Gary Larson, who's really funny for a cartoonist, obviously.
