Comedians work great as actors because they're good under pressure. With a lot of actors, you have to make them feel like everything's going really well to get a good performance out of them. But, if you have a comedian on the set, you can tell them, 'Hey, you really are screwing this up,' and then they just get better.

In real life, comedians aren't funny.

I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion.

Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.

I mean, sometimes... a comedian becomes an actor, and they just don't deliver, because the bottom line of comedy is to be funny, and the bottom line of acting is to be truthful, and they get that mixed up sometimes, or don't even notice that that's the thing.

As far as I can tell, comedians are pretty serious people, and that's why they make fun of things all of the time.

To be a comedian, you gotta jokesmith, there's no way around it.

I think comedians start off as pranksters or something.
