You know I grew up on romantic comedies and it's hard to find a new way to tell that story.

I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.

I love romantic comedies. I like to watch them and I like to be in them. It's something that's increasingly difficult to find that spark of originality that makes if different than the ones that come before.

I love romantic comedies. I have a deep respect for them. I think they're really difficult to write and write well.

I love romantic comedies. They're for me the easiest thing to do and the most natural to do. There's nothing natural about holding an uzi hanging out of a moving van shooting at people. That's not second nature to me thank God.

I'd see movies comedies and I loved 'Animal House' I loved all the John Hughes stuff but I never saw me and my friends totally represented.

There's an absolute prejudice that good movies are dramas and comedies are more dismissable. But I couldn't disagree more.

In terms of the romantic kind of lead I just never enjoy those movies very much. Maybe they'll come to interest me more as I get older. I doubt it but maybe. Romantic comedies tend to be for me an oxymoron.

It's the contemporary woman that movies don't know what to do with other than bathe her in a bridal glow in romantic comedies where both the romance and the comedy are artificial sweeteners.

I was very influenced by the musicals and romantic comedies of the 1930s. I admired Gene Harlow and such which probably explains why since the end of my marriage I've dated nothing but a succession of blondes.

Prior to Wordsworth humor was an essential part of poetry. I mean they don't call them Shakespeare comedies for nothing.

I love being on stage if I'm not on a set. If I'm at home I'm usually in my office editing or reconstructing my website or whatever it may be. I just love putting creativity into a performance so if the right script comes along and I certainly am reading comedies and dramas now then I'm ready willing and able to give it a shot.

I was making a lot of 8mm home movies since I was twelve making little dramas and comedies with the neighborhood kids.

I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it's a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff.

I think I would say 'The King's Speech' is surprisingly funny in fact the audiences in London Toronto LA New York commented there's more laughter in this film than in most comedies while it is also a moving tear-jerker with an uplifting ending.

For years it's driven me crazy that women don't have better roles especially in comedies. I know so many funny women but I always felt... misogynist streak is too strong a term - but a dismissiveness.

That's what I hate about a lot of comedies when you're hitting a line or making it funny.

I'm fascinated by failure and I'm fascinated by finality. Shakespeare's historical plays are more universal than his comedies because they relate to the finality of life. Without finality life would not be beautiful.

I did 10 years of comedies and 10 years of Westerns. I really like to stay away from car chases. I prefer the more intimate film. You have a much more direct association with the emotions.

My dream career would be to be in things that have real heart and are telling real stories but while doing that you're getting really big laughs. I don't necessarily love the straight crazy comedies. 'Caddyshack' is amazing but there's not a lot of new 'Caddyshack's.
