“I have had a lot of your countrymen as co-stars, that's true. I quite like them both. It depends on the person. I don't think English makes the man nor does American, but I like this guy right here [Clive]. He's nice and tall, which means I never have a double chin - there's lots of shots of me looking up, and I'm a swan. Well, we all laugh but it's so true.” ThinkingMenWellsMeanPersonsDoeGuyStarsLaughingNiceHe ManDependsShotsTallThis GuyChinsSwansCountrymen Author:Julia Roberts
“So, you don't have laughs as a reference point any more, it becomes a bit of a science after that. And the last thing, you would love to be able to depend on a sense of spontaneity, but hours of waiting and then hours of repetition are not conducive to spontaneity so those are your obstacles. On the other hand it's a lot of fun. Plunging into a bit of physical comedy and abandoning all dignity, no one can really hurt you much after you much after that, once you've done it.” DoneHandsAbleLastsFunBitsWaitingHoursHurtLaughingComedyDependsDignityObstaclesRepetitionSpontaneityHave A LaughPhysical Comedy Author:Colin Firth

“Comedy is a serious business. It's frustrating when I can't find the right thing that makes the crew laugh. If I don't make them laugh, I get very disappointed in myself. You don't really have a live audience, so you just depend on the crew to let you know if you're doing something funny.” IfsKnowsI CanAudienceLaughingComedySeriousDependsRight ThingDisappointedCrewFrustratingSerious Business Author:Allison Janney
“Humor is not an unconditional virtue; its moral character depends on its object. To laugh at the contemptible, is a virtue; to laugh at the good, is a hideous vice. Too often, humor is used as the camouflage of moral cowardice.” CharacterUsedMoralLaughingVirtueObjectsDependsVicesCowardiceUnconditionalHideousMoral CharacterCamouflage Book:The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z Source: The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z
“Kevin Bacon and I recently worked on a move together, R.I.P.D. Just before we'd begin a scene, when all of us would feel the normal anxiety that actors feel be- fore they start to perform, Kevin would look at me and the other actors with a very serious expression on his face and say: "Remember, everything depends on this!" It would make us all laugh. On the one hand, it's not true of course, but on the other, everything does depend on this, on just this moment and our attitude toward this moment.” FeelsLooksDoeMomentsHandsTogetherRememberFacesMovingCoursesActorsAttitudeLaughingSeriousExpressionDependsSceneNormalAnxietyLook At MeKevinRemembers Everything Author:Jeff Bridges
“Y'know what? This is what I go by: It doesn't matter how good-looking a guy is, it just depends on his personality.
