Jason Gann Quotations

I really think that you can extract a lot of comedy out of really dramatic, intense situations.

I want to do different projects and be versatile. I don't want to get fixed into narrative comedy.

I think that you can make a drama and have it be intensely funny, and vice versa.

Sometimes girls would come in and audition and they'd talk down, and it was like, "No, no, talk to the human eye level."

I'm fascinated in the children within adults.

The moment I do any puppy dog acting, I think the joke is dead. It's in the truth of how I play it, and the real painful honesty that I approach my performance with.

I always found it really funny when actors would come offstage, smoking cigarettes and swearing at each other.

I've been insane for a long time. An ex-girlfriend of mine once asked, "Is it true that all comedians are depressed?," and I said, "Every one I know is."

It's always difficult when you want to do something really new, and you also want it to reach the masses, because the majority of people want to see what they've already seen before, or that they're already familiar with. To open the majority of peoples' minds to something new is difficult.

I really wanted to work in the American industry because it's the leading industry. It's where film and television started.
