Robin Williams learned technique. He has the technique of being funny.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Comedy takes a very specific technique, specific skills.
Robin Williams understands sonic performances. He understands what it's like to change your voice up.
Everything you could imagine Robin Williams being, he was and more.
He who laughs most, learns best.
The most fun I ever had on a movie was working with Albert Brooks. He's the caviar of comedy. I mean, nobody's funnier; nobody is smarter than Albert Brooks.
Jim Carrey, a comic genius, has a harder time overcoming the public's desire for him to be funny simply because he's so good at it.
I'm very silly as a person, but quality silliness on-screen has more of an art to it. Harrison Ford, whom I was in 'Morning Glory' with, has mastered that dry funny better than anyone.
I want to be like Robin Williams, really. It's all the different characters he does, all the different voices.
When someone can, on a worldwide level, make someone laugh, that's power. A lot my heroes - Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell, the Wayans, Adam Sandler - they get it. And I've always felt that Andy Samberg is the future of comedy.
Denzel Washington has a great sense of humor. He did all those 'Nutty Professor' movies.
