Mean comedy is not really something that I personally gravitate towards or something that I do.
When I tell people I'm a comedian they say, 'Oh, are you funny?' I say, 'No, it's not that kind of comedy.'
I like insult comics. Joan Rivers, Dame Edna, people like that.
None of my comedy depended on looks. I never did tons of fat jokes.
I love broad comedy. It has its place. If I were to do that, I'd love to do physical comedy.
I've never been a dirty comic.
I'm not the sort of comedian who wants to make audiences think about politics. I'm not clever in that way.
At the beginning of 'Will and Grace', I played Jack as the funny next-door-neighbor type, as we've seen in the past. And I thought that was my role.
I wasn't the classic comedy type; I wasn't bullied or extrovert. I was more the ambitious literary one who wanted to write clever little plays.
It's that I wasn't suited to do the kind of comedy that these people were coming to hear - mainstream comedy.
I like all kinds of comedy. I like comedy that doesn't talk about real beliefs or serious thoughts, but then I also like the stuff that does. I think it just depends. It's a completely personal choice.
I love straight-face comedy or relatively subtle comedy. And then I turn around and I find myself doing very broad comedy but it's all fun and you have to keep your sense of humor and not take yourself seriously.
Light, trivial comedy does not appeal - it is not something I go to see.
Many people mistakenly think of farce as broad low comedy. In fact, it's polished high comedy.
I prefer situational or character-based humor to gross-out gags and comedic set pieces.
I'm not into comedies that are joke-driven.
I want to see good-quality comedy shows, not the slapstick ones or where people imitate others.
I don't have any favourites, but I like situational comedies, not forced ones.
