![“You just can't take yourself too seriously, especially in comedy. You shouldn't try to be funny, but you should try to be as honest as possible. The extreme end of honesty is usually what's funny. That's your job [as an actor]. You just have to let people see it.” quote by Paula Patton](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2c0/paula-patton-11845_actors_you-just-can-t-take-yourself-too-serious_1600211.jpg)
