Steve Carell thinks the world needs comedy

Actor Steve Carell believes the world needs to see light-hearted movies, as he says there's a place for comedy in today's political climate.
The 54-year-old actor - who is largely known for appearing in comedy features - says that in the situation where many people are concerned about the state of the world around them, there is a definite place for movies that express the decency of human behaviour, reported Contactmusic.
"What is an audience looking for?' is a different question than 'What does an audience need to see?' For me as an actor, I'm tending to go towards things that are lacking cynicism and have a point of view and potentially a joy to them.

"Not necessarily a happy ending, but something that expresses decency of human behaviour. Those are the kinds of things that reflect where I am," he says.
