You can (be a middle-aged comic) if you work very hard at it, because comedy is really hard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I tried to do comedy for the rest of my career, I would not be very successful.
A lot of people think I'm difficult to work with. It's not like I really want to do that much stuff, so it doesn't really matter. I guess I'm somewhat difficult when it comes to comedy.
Well I was much too practical to presume to have a career in comedy.
I think it would be harder for me not to write comedy because the comic view of things is the one that comes most naturally to me.
What I've found in my career is that 70 to 75 percent of comics are nice and have some sense of social skills, but there are those who end up in comedy because they don't know how to socialize. I don't want to deal with that group.
It is hard enough to be good at all, but to be good in comedy speaks for your character.
I'd love to do comedy. And I think I have pretty good sense of comic timing, so I'd really like to try that.
To do comedy, you have to be a pretty good actor to start with.
Every time I think about writing, comedy doesn't interest me in the slightest. I can play comedy, but I don't think in terms of comic dialogue.
When you're in comedy, people always come up and say, 'Oh, it must be so hard.' It really isn't hard unless you're not good at it. If you can do it, its really kind of fun and easy.
