And when human rights are being thrown aside, ignored, well, there`s no game in progress, that`s all -- in spite of the childhood bible, the comic strip. It believes that only when you`re permitted to murder, kill, rob and burn can a game be in progress. ...

In comic acting, to improvise effectively is quite difficult. A lot of actors can improvise up to a certain level - an entry level, which is when you see the actors having more fun than the audience.
Steve Coogan
Director Clarence Brown once called her "the greatest pantomimist that ever drew breath. She was a natural-born comic; you could turn on a scene with her and she`d go on for five minutes without stopping or repeating herself."

When I was a kid, my dad was a drunk, and he would sometimes try to kill me and my sister. Well, he didn`t really, but he said he would, and it scared us. I knew I had sort of a comic talent, comic timing, and I wanted to be a comic actor. When things wer...

I think the character of Kara in Smallville was a little different from the one in the comic because her motive is different. She`s not evil by any means whatsoever, but she does come to Clark for a specific reason. She doesn`t really have a sense of righ...
Adrianne Palicki
[on if he feels he is typecast as a comic relief sidekick, and if it bothers him] No, I am. It`s a pleasure and a privilege. I really look at it as a career, and not what movies I`m doing this year. I remember not getting offered Dude, Where`s My Car? (20...
Steve Zahn
A woman would never make a nuclear bomb. They would never make a weapon that kills, no, no. They`d make a weapon that makes you feel bad for a while.

Robin Williams
[on Judy Garland] In some of her films she showed talent which was very comic and touching. Touching because she played with a bright smile and a great spirit, while the situation was rather dramatic, even tragic perhaps. She had in fact a quality which c...
James Mason
I wasn`t a religious follower of comic book activity as a kid, but I was a fanatical fan of the television show with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno. So my memories of the Hulk were very vivid.
Eric Bana
I didn`t want Frank [Miller, creator of the comic Sin City" and co-writer on the film] to be treated just as a writer because he is the only one who has actually been to `Sin City`. I am making such a literal interpretation of his book that I`d have felt ...
Robert Rodriguez
I`d much rather be in a comedy. In my view, comedy wins out in the long run. I`m not sure I`m a good enough actor to play real tragedy, so I bring a comic element to most things as my answer to the world`s problems. I`m not a clown, though. I love goofing...
Will Ferrell
[when asked what comic books he likes] I`m a Marvel guy. Superman was my favorite at first when I was a young kid. But even as a kid, after seeing him lift a planet one issue, race around the world in a half a second the next, then get beat by the Toy Man...
Kevin Grevioux
When asked what character from literature he would like to play: "Well, if we can expand the definition of literature to include comic books, I`d definitely love a crack at "General Zod" from "Superman". So I`m hoping that Bryan Singer makes a sequel to t...
Wentworth Miller
I`m not a comic book guy. I`m pretty fascinated with the subculture though and I do think that the world of comic books is such a natural transition into film.

Donal Logue
I never went to the prom or anything. I got asked by a couple of weird guys, but no one I wanted to show up at a formal with. Mostly I thought about being an actress. I wasn`t conscious of wanting to be a comic actress. I wasn`t really funny or anything, ...
Catherine O`Hara
I don`t make much distinction between being a stand-up comic and acting Shakespeare - in fact, unless you`re a good comedian, you`re never going to be able to play Hamlet properly.
Ian McKellen
[about his inspirations] I`m a comic book artist. So I think too myself, what do I like to draw? I like to draw hot chicks, fast cars and cool guys in trench coat. So that`s what I write about.
Frank Miller
[in 1936, on his appeal to children, who empathized with the monster] I don`t really scare them any more than do Jungle Jim, Dan Dunn, Tarzan, and the other heroes of the comic sections.
Boris Karloff
Originally, I didn`t like [John Ford]--because of his material: for example, the comic secondary characters, the brutality, the male-female relationships typified by the man`s slapping the woman on the backside. But eventually I came to understand that he...
Francois Truffaut
I`m not really an exhibitionist. I`m drawn to the outrageous stuff because it`s fun, not because it`s some deep compulsion. I`m no tortured, anger-stoked, deeply neurotic comic. Just a pretty low-key normal guy. A, "Hey, the glass is half-full", kind of a...
Will Ferrell
It wasn`t the first comic I ever actually READ, but the first comic I remember slapping down hard-earned money for was a `Superman Family` Annual in which the first story featured a married Lois and Superman waking up on a cloud. I remember being oddly ar...
