“Happiness, sadness, being mean and being nice. They're all very close to one another. My goal in my career is to do movies that are both... I hate when people say is it a comedy or a drama? My favorite movies are kind of both. Just like life, one day you're not crying all day, one day you're not laughing all day. I like to play characters that have that kind of balance, too.” PeopleKindMeanPlayCharacterHateGoalCareersLaughingComedyNiceSadnessCryBalanceDramaOne DayI HateMy FavoriteBeing NiceBeing MeBeing MeanHappiness Sadness Author:Topher Grace

“I love everything. I don't see myself doing a really serious drama in the next five to ten years. I don't feel mature enough for that yet.

“I love Ron Howard, he's a wonderful director, incredibly prepared. But I have to criticize my performance in that movie. It all took place in one day. My character was having a bad day, so she's having a bad day throughout the whole movie. But this was a comedy, and I think I was too serious, too dense. Yes, I think that describes my failure there.” ThinkingWholeCharacterComedyWonderfulSeriousOne DayDirectorsPerformancesPreparedCriticizeBad DayDenseHaving A Bad Day Author:Glenn Close
“I've seen the end of the universe, and it happens to be in the United States and, oddly enough, it's in Houston, Texas. I know - I was shocked, too. Imagine my surprise when I left a comedy club one day and walked to the end of the block, and there on one corner was a Starbucks, and across the street from that Starbucks, in the exact same building as that Starbucks, there was - a Starbucks. I looked back and forth, thinking the sun was playing tricks with my eyes.

“Growing up, I didn't know anything about comedy and didn't know anything about comedians or what standup was. I grew up in the projects with no dream of anything, it was in my formatting when i got older and started talking to my friends about how I felt, they would be like, "dude, that's funny." Then one day my friend was like, "Dude, you don't understand how funny you are, you need to do standup"!” KnowsNeedsDreamWould BeFeltTalkingGrowing UpComedyGrowingGrewOne DayProjectsGrew UpMy FriendsComedian Author:Carlos Mencia
“I like doing everything - theater and film, radio and TV, comedy and tragedy. I love it all. And I've never really planned anything - I've always looked at my job in a rather simplistic way. It's like being a plumber. One day you might be fixing an early 20th century showerhead that requires real detailed work. The other day you might just be clearing a sewer. Both jobs are very different, but all the tools come out of the same box. That's the way I look at acting.” DifferentRealFilmActingComedyOne DayTragedy20th CenturyPlumber Author:Alfred Molina
“I went to school with Steven Wright who was the shyest guy I knew, and one day someone suddenly told me that he was in a club doing standup comedy. I went down to his club and he was great.

So I thought if these guys can do it then so can I.” IfsShowsSchoolGuyCan DoComedyMinesOne DayTradeClubsThieves Author:Denis Leary
