“Heavy role in the movies that I've done that I have loved and fit my soul; A Simple Plan, Monster's Ball, Sling Blade, One False Move, Bad Santa even.

“I knew at a young age that I wanted to do comedy, and maybe part of that was trying to fit in at school because I had a weird name, and my parents had these accents, and I was definitely a late bloomer.” TryingAgeWantedSchoolYoungNamesParentComedyFitLateAccentsYoung AgeTrying To Fit In Author:Nasim Pedrad
“I feel like women are frequently seen as guests in the comedy world - you know, a kid sister of the “real comedians”. I like the idea of positioning myself as legendary rather than trying to fit in. Now do I see myself like that every day? No, but I think it's a funny attitude and maybe on some weird, spiritual level, maybe it's a good attitude.” ThinkingKnowsWorldFeelsTryingIdeasRealKidsSpiritualLevelsAttitudeComedyFitComedianGuestsLegendaryGood AttitudeTrying To Fit In Author:Chelsea Peretti
“It's usually very, very hard for me to pick up a script that was written and try and see myself as a part of that, especially when you're used to performing all your own material. It's OK with drama, I like being handed great material but I think with comedy it's far more personal and probably a lot harder for me to find a fit.” ThinkingTryingHardUsedComedyWrittenMaterialsFitDramaPicksHarderScriptsPerforming Author:Eric Bana
“I'd love to do comedy. I'd probably have to get my laughing fits in check, because generally if I've done comedy, I'm usually the straight character that plays against the very obviously funny character, so that's really hard when the person is really hilarious.” IfsPersonsHardDonePlayCharacterLaughingComedyFitChecksFunny Character Author:Nathalie Emmanuel
“Consequently, pictures are aimed at certain audiences, whether it be a teen comedy or an action movie or whatever. It's unfortunate, because while it may lead to big opening grosses, a lot of pictures that are a little different and don't fit so neatly into either a niche market or a high-concept marketing approach can get lost in the shuffle. That's one unfortunate thing.” MayLittlesDifferentBigsActionCertainLostAudienceComedyFitApproachConceptsMarketingOpeningUnfortunateNicheAction MovieShuffleUnfortunate Things Author:Curtis Hanson
“I kind of pride myself on coming onto things that are well-oiled machines and finding a way to bring what I bring and fit in, and raise it to another level if I can.

“I probably would never be able to direct a comedy because I'm not that funny. I don't have that funny bone in me, so it wouldn't be a natural fit.

“I feel the acting conservatory taught me how to be a working actor in the 1700s. We learned stuff like 'to the back of the auditorium, to the back of the auditorium' and the liquid "u." 'The payment is duuue on Tuuuesday.' I also learned how to fence. If anything, when I moved to Los Angeles, I didn't fit in, in any way. I had to do comedy, because I was talking so pretentiously.” ActingComedyFitMovedLos AngelesFence Author:Eric Andre
