Quote

Comedy will always be central to what I do, it's just an instinct for me, but I am a writer and always have been.

I've actually done a lot of comedy.

I enjoy the work I do in comedies. It's a valid test of your creative abilities.

To be honest, I'm probably more of a comedy person, actually. I really enjoy the comedy stuff, and I've got some things I'll be working on that I think are just different ways of combining genres in comedy and drama and action.

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

I've done comedy most of my career, which I love, but I wanted to expand.

As for doing more dramatic work over comedy, I do whatever turns me on at the moment.

I actually gravitate toward comedy a lot when it comes to what I'm watching, but maybe that's because I've been on such dark work the last four or five years.

I didn't want to do comedy again. It is way harder when you are doing comedy. You can't just concentrate on the character and the plot. In comedy, the writers, instead of obsessing about character and plot, obsess about the jokes.
