In my years of acting, the one thing I was never able to do convincingly was to laugh on camera. Fake-laugh.
Paul FeigWomen comedy is different than men comedy. Guy comedy is very aggressive, it's about insulting each other, name-calling, and kind of busting each other's chops, and that's not what women's comedy is.

Paul FeigIt's healthy to have older friends. You go, 'Look, I'm younger than them!' That's always the nice thing, if you can be the youngest one in the room at times.
