When I was a kid, I would do Andrew Dice Clay jokes for my siblings. Like, we'd be on vacation, and I'd just recite Andrew Dice Clay jokes. They seemed to think that was pretty funny. Then it evolved into 'Wayne's World.'
I come from a time when people like Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby told stories that were devastatingly funny without being off-color.
You know what I like? I like classic stuff. I like 'The Andy Griffith Show' - the variety of characters was so amazing to me.
But 'Sixteen Candles' is the only movie I could watch over and over and over without getting sick of it.
I would like to do a romantic comedy, but not a romantic comedy that is cheesy. I want to do an old romantic comedy like 'Roman Holiday' or 'My Fair Lady.'
I like physical comedy. And I like the old comedies.
I've got people who like Tommy Boy, but they're getting older and there's a whole new wave of college kids who see that and Joe Dirt, and Just Shoot Me is a little older, so I wanted stuff for everybody.
It's very rare that an older comedian sort of slips into an old-school clunker. You know, you don't hear too much of that anymore.
