When you come out with a film, hopefully it gets presented to the public in the right way so people aren't getting something they don't expect.
laughing people make-you-laugh
It's great to work with the people who make you laugh and who are funnier than I am.

It's weird that people expect me to be funny. I find it a real burden when I'm expected to be humorous on talk shows.
thinking people actors
I think people will be curious to see what I can do as a dramatic actor.
drama expectations people
I would like to do more dramas when I find a good role that will allow me to politely upset people's expectations of me as a comic actor.

People like to define you through what they've seen you do ... There are aspects of my personality, I guess, that come through on-screen, but I don't sit around thinking, I've been a bumbling suitor all my life.

There's a sense here in L.A. that everybody's aware of everybody all the time. It's funny but we choose it. People who are here want to be here, including me.

I love New York. I was sad, depressed and incredibly moved by our fellow countrymen and what they've done. I wanted to give people a chance to see something funny, have a distraction.
people wish may
I'm just not a naturally cheery person. I'm naturally moody. I know that from people who spend a lot of time with me. People who spend a lot of time with me may not wish to spend a lot more time with me.

Owen is one of the funniest people around. He's a friend of mine, and we've worked together a number of times. There's no other person like Owen.
