You know, I've just always been sort of goofy and kind of gone with it. I actually usually work more in drama, but I have been floating back and forth with comedy, and somehow they keep giving me jobs in comedy, so I guess there's something funny about me.

What's nice with comedy is that you know it's working if it's funny.

I've worked a lot in comedy. As much as I love playing dramatic roles, it's always nice to be able to have some humor around when working.

You can not have comedy unless people are behaving badly. You can't have it.

A pitfall of making a comedy with a studio-and it's also an American cultural thing-is that I get tired of being encouraged to go always for laughs.

To me, comedy is a great occupation because I don't really worry that much about what other people think of me.

Comedy tends to come out of things which are quite painful and serious.

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.

To be honest, I watch way more dramatic films when I'm chilling at home. I think when you work in comedy, you just want something different in your private life. Makes you feel balanced, I guess.

I always had a tremendous amount of rage about the business, and I thought turning that into comedy was healthy.
