Laurence Olivier said in an interview once that when he plays a tragedy he always aims for the funny parts, and the other way around. Because in a comedy you look for what's serious. I think that's true. Sometimes things are really funny if you're absolutely earnest. If you're really serious, it's hilarious.
There's something dangerous about what's funny. Jarring and disconcerting. There is a connection between funny and scary.
I never know when I am being funny, and the other way too. I don't think you can think about that. I don't think you can try to be funny. Some people are just funny.
Some people can do things and get away with it. Comics are famously like that. Why is it that some guys can say the most horrible things and it's not offensive, it's funny?
I always like to watch comics and it's interesting that you can tell if someone's funny in 10 seconds.
They are funny and also they're funny together. They're a very good team. I wouldn't be surprised if they made more movies together.
