If you look at romantic comedies as pieces of commerce, the audience is looking for wish fulfillment.

The pleasure of working with somebody who's an actor is they don't waste time with stuff that doesn't matter.

If you're funny, if there's something that makes you laugh, then every day's going to be okay.

I start at square one with every role. If I let myself feel pressure, it would crush me. The truth is that everyone pays attention to who's number one at the box office. And none of it matters, because the only thing that really exists is the connection the audience has with a movie. Sometimes that's a palpable thing, but other times it's not. No actor has control of that. All you can control is your own passion for doing the work in the first place.

Let's not pretend there isn't a huge industry driven by the choices made by editors and writers who decide what a story is.

The Pixar people continuously amaze me. They come up with something that actually looks as though it takes place in this happy, real-world. Every plot line is not just plausible, but oddly authentic. The stories are full of adventure, humor and love. The characters are written with great human dimension. I don't know how they do it but they astound me.
