I've been to many funerals of funny people, and they're some of the funniest days you'll ever have, because the emotions run high.
Pretty people don't keep comedies on the air. Funny people keep comedies on the air.
I think the kick to doing comedy is just to get in a film with really funny people and let them do their jobs. I find that in most comedies, I'm not the funny one, which works out great.
On 'Workaholics,' I feel like I'm just hanging out with my buddies being filmed, but on 'Mindy,' I'm around professional funny people who act. Guys like Chris Messina, who are the real deal. I watch what they do and put my own spin on it.
It's funny: people who meet me say, 'I thought you'd be different.' But I'm still the same guy.
Movies these days have made killers into funny people. What's that all about? I've got kids and family and friends, and I don't like bad things. I don't think they're funny, and it's irresponsible to make movies that don't show you how that's not good.
I think with Sky and BBC Three and Channel 4, there are some great television platforms, and the stand-up movement in this country is phenomenal. It's like rock n' roll here. Britain's a funny place and there's a lot of funny people coming out of there and a lot of people are finding mediums to express themselves.

We all know funny people who can't get it down on the page - even funny writers who can't get it down on the page.
I guess funny people are attracted to funny people, and then you get comedy marriages.
