“Here's the thing, with comedy - and I learned this from Will Ferrell -...” — John C. Reilly Quote

Here's the thing, with comedy - and I learned this from Will Ferrell - you can't be ashamed. If you're doing comedy, you have to fully commit to the joke. Shame is not part of it. If you act shy or uncomfortable about your body, that makes the audience shy and uncomfortable. And in a comedy you just want them to loosen up and laugh.

I'm ashamed I didn't change my behavior until I was forced to do so by circumstance and by others.
