best good movies people seen time
I feel like every time I go out, I want to do a good job. I want people to say that he's just as good at stand-up as he is in some of the movies I've seen him in, so I try to do the best every time I go out there.
best bring cry great laugh mean movies people work
I want to do movies that mean something, that make people laugh and cry -- great movies, period-piece movies -- and work with the best people out there, who bring the best out of me,
people
You see people waving. You don't see people having problems, with each other at least.
people problem
You see people waving. You dont see people having problems, with each other at least.
golf people three
I tell people that stand-up's like golf: you gotta do it every day to get it down - or at least three times a week to get it down.
thinking play people
I've lived a little bit and traveled the world and experienced a lot of things that I can play any role, and I think I can get into stuff that people never thought I would ever do because of my experiences and growth as a person.
crazy men people
It's crazy because people expect you to be funny all the time and every day is not a funny day. I go to funerals and people are like 'tell a joke' and 'say one of your lines in a movie.' It's a funeral, man!
mean laughing people
I want to do movies that mean something, that make people laugh and cry great movies, period-piece movies and work with the best people out there, who bring the best out of me.
mean atlanta people
I couldn't tell people what I wanted to do because I was from Atlanta. You don't tell people you're gonna be a comedian in Atlanta. That means you ain't gonna do nothing.
people encounters hours
I love to talk about people I've met being an entertainer. All my encounters in life - I roll it all into an hour and 30 minutes.
real names people
I am Jewish. My real name is Chris Tuckenberg. A lot of people don't know about that.
light people laughing
I want to keep working, I want to keep doing my humanitarian stuff around the world, shining light on different places that have problems. Keep making movies, make people laugh.
careers people feelings
I told a joke and people laughed and it was the best feeling. I knew I wanted to do this as a career. I never knew I could get such a high from telling a joke. There's something so extraordinary about having people listening to you and hanging onto your words - it's a great feeling.
healing people giving
Making people laugh is giving, and it's healing, too, when people can go up to the movies and forget about their problems. It's a good thing. That's why I want to work.
