When it comes to comedy, it might be interesting to know why an airplane works, but really? Maybe it's better not to know why certain things work. Just fly the thing, and if nothing falls apart, you'll be fine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's so hard to make a comedy pilot and have a cool idea.
If 'Airplane!' comes on, it's like a comfort film. You can always guarantee a laugh watching that movie.
I think if you're trying to be funny, sometimes you're bending a piece of metal in a direction it doesn't want to go. And sometimes comedy just needs to find itself.
What's nice with comedy is that you know it's working if it's funny.
I think that comedy is one of the more serious things that you can do in our day, especially in the world that we're living in.
I know I'm fly - don't get me wrong. But I don't look, like, standard Hollywood. As a comedian, it's something you learn to use.
What's great about comedy, obviously, is that you set up a situation that people assume one thing and then you break the assumption. That's basically the backbone to comedy. You set up a situation, let people make an assumption, and then you break the assumption.
I think comedy's something you can't learn. It's an instinct, which makes it rather elusive.
To be honest, I don't know how comedy works.
With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand.
