More From Allison Janney

You're not going to be able to look like anyone else, no matter how hard you try, unless you're a mimic, then you're not acting, you're just mimicking. you can't go on being john wayne, that's john wayne. so you're not going to steal from john wayne. i'm not going to steal from john wayne and you're not going to come back and say 'didn't you get that from the circus?' you know. but he is one of those people who instructs me, whom i look up to - whom i think is one of the masters of his craft that i am so enamoured of.

I think i'll be a clown when i get grown,' said dill. jem and i stopped in our tracks. yes sir, a clown,' he said. 'there ain't one thing in this world i can do about folks except laugh, so i'm gonna join the circus and laugh my head off.' you got it backwards, dill,' said jem. 'clowns are sad, it's folks that laugh at them.' well i'm gonna be a new kind of clown. i'm gonna stand in the middle of the ring and laugh at the folks.
Thinking Tkam Track
I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.
Laughter Fun Thinking
No clowns were funny. that was the whole purpose of a clown. people laughed at clowns, but only out of nervousness. the point of clowns was that, after watching them, anything else that happened seemed enjoyable
People Purpose Clown
Wayne: you wanna know why i really came to find you? waxilliam: why? wayne: i thought of you happy in a comfy bed, resting and relaxing, spending the rest of your life sipping tea and reading papers while people bring you food and maids rub your toes and stuff. waxilliam: and? wayne: and i just couldn't leave you to a fate like that...i'm too good a friend to let a mate of mine die in such a terrible situation. waxilliam: comfortable? wayne: no. boring.
Reading Fate People
So many things suddenly made sense for the clowns, for the whole idea. i’d been going through a struggle, particularly after 9/11; i couldn’t figure out what i wanted to say. i still wanted the work to be the same kind of mixture – intense, with a nasty side or an ugly side, but also with a real pathos about the characters – and clowns have an underlying sense of sadness while they’re trying to cheer people up. clowns are sad, but they’re also psychotically, hysterically happy.
