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'm not the sort of comedian who wants to make audiences think about politics. I'm not clever in that way.
I've never been a dirty comic.
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.
I prefer situational or character-based humor to gross-out gags and comedic set pieces.
Many people mistakenly think of farce as broad low comedy. In fact, it's polished high comedy.
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.
