Without comedy as a defense mechanism I wouldn't be able to survive.

It's dangerous talking about comedy; it gets to be very tedious and presumptuous.

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

You're entering dangerous land when you start theorising about comedy.

I don't really like comedy.

You cannot have the drama without comedy.

With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand.

There's nothing wrong with doing comedies, and I'm not against comedies, either, but I always want to do stuff that keeps me off my guard and gets me out of my comfort zone.

Comedy scares me a lot. I feel like it's way harder than drama. I think my safety net is definitely drama, and I would love to kind of be able to be able to push into the comedy world and do something kind of like a Christopher Guest kind of style show. That, to me, is my kind of comedy. Like, Ricky Gervais comedy. That's my kind of thing.

I am a passionate believer that comedy is a way of tackling some of the most dark and difficult aspects of being a human being.
