When you're the mom in a big family comedy, you have to get your personality when you can.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As long as there's Big Momma, we're going to bring you comedy.
The problem with me, as far as getting married and having a family, is that my comedy is so important to me. So I don't know if I'll ever be as good a dad as my dad.
I grew up with an extremely funny dad, and my mom is super funny.
It's not common for a woman on television, especially if she's the mom of the family, to be funny. She's usually a straight man or foil.
Sometimes I would like the opportunity to do character-driven comedy and that's really what I was trying to do in Meet The Parents. I think in a way this is a more old fashioned type of comedy.
There's something about being a parent that has, I think, made me a better comedian.
To me, families are fascinating. I choose to explore it through comedy and through comic situations.
My family's always been really funny. I feel like comedy's hard. I feel like it's so important.
I'm a comedian, which is the opposite of a lifestyle that equips you to be a parent.
I love playing a dad. It's hard to find family dramas that are genuinely funny.
