Actor

While he was growing up, Paul Stephen Rudd was certainly drawn to comedy; but he always hoped to become a versatile actor, not just a comedian. He has once said, "I don't consider myself a comedian because I don't really concern myself too much with jokes". However, he believes that humor is the most important thing in life, adding that it “trumps everything else, and it's the only thing that helps me deal with everything else.” In interviews, he has talked as much about his work, as about his perception of his own self, about his parents and his youth, his likes and dislikes, his view on marriages etc. Let us look into some of his top quotes on happiness, love, time, theatre, parents, need etc.

QUOTES BY Paul Rudd


I'm a huge David Wain fan. He's one of my best friends now, but he just makes me laugh continually, much to the annoyance of his wife.

I don't consider myself a comedian because I don't really concern myself too much with jokes.

I never thought of myself as a comedic actor. I didn't go to Second City, that's not my background, I'm not a comic, I studied theater and my career when I started was a lot of dramatic stuff.

To me some of the funniest movies would be probably categorized in the dramatic genre, and likewise some of the most dramatic films, or films that have the most dramatic moments, are in comedies.

At my core, I'm a Midwesterner.

I don't really think in terms of genre, I think in terms of story and character.

I'm not a comedian. I didn't study sketch comedy; my background isn't that.

We all have different sides of our personalities, so I'd love to play some more different parts too.

My sense of stand up comedy would be so esoteric.
