The main reason I got into comedy was in the hope that I could make a few people laugh and feel better about life, and the fact that I do that is quite overwhelming, really.

Life is a mixing of all kind of things: comedy and tragedy going together.

Life is a comedy when watching and a tragedy when experiencing. I try and share anything I have.

Most comedy comes out of misery.

I just tried to create a life for myself that's full of fun and fantasy and things that equal laughter. My life's been cartoons and comedy and acting, and it's just been a fun life, man.

I feel like everything comes into your life for a reason.

Well, all comedy starts with anger. You get angry, and its never for a good reason, right? You know its not a good reason. And then you try and work it from there.

I do comedy to give people an ephemeral escape from the tragedy that permeates everyday life.

To go from Girl, Interrupted, where I had to cry every day, to a TV show like West Wing where I get to laugh and joke around every day, has been a welcome relief.

When things are really painful, I turn it into comedy.
