If you are a great dramatic actor then you often don't know if people are enjoying your stuff at all because they are sitting there in silence. But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
The surprising thing is that I was not funny in high school. I was always jealous of the funny kids because they always got the girls. I couldn't tell a joke to save my life. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I don't really necessarily think I'm a funny guy, but I like the opportunity to take on something that I don't feel I'm the best at doing. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I'm never afraid to try something if I think it's funny. And I know I'll regret it if I don't. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
It sounds funny, but the 2008 Olympics were something that just kind of happened, and I was lucky they came at a point when I was uninjured and well prepared. As a gymnast, you can't ask for much more. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience. I'm not particularly intellectual or clever or minority-focused in my creative instincts. And I'm certainly not aware of suppressing more sophisticated ambitions. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Funny things tend not to happen to me. I am not a natural comic. I need to think about things a lot before I can be even remotely amusing. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
This may sound funny, but as much as the 'Today' show matured me, it also was something of a cocoon. I'd been happy there. I never went into the boss's office and pounded my fist on the desk, saying, 'Give me more money! Give me a prime-time show!' Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
It's funny how the hippies and the punks tried to get rid of the conservatives, but they always seem to get the upper hand in the end. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I show them the funny part, the silly part, the laughing part, the crazy part and then the really deep, deep part where I'm talking from my heart to these people. Because I've been through everything they've been through. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Especially with a comedy, you've got the clear cut goal of trying to make a scene funny. It's not like drama where you're trying to achieve some kind of emotion or trying to further the story along. You're trying to figure out what's the funniest way to do something. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
