I figured, if I failed, I'd tried something that I hadn't tried before and if one movie was going to destroy my career than I didn't have much of a career to start with. I just went for it. God willing I wasn't over the top and didn't embarrass myself.

I was a failed actor but I still wanted to show off, so I ended up doing live comedy.

My drama instructor suggested I try comedy. I was resistant at first because I considered myself a serious actor, but of course I fell in love with it.

I'd love to try comedy, which I've never actually done. I could fail miserably at it, but I'd have fun working it out.

If I tried to do comedy for the rest of my career, I would not be very successful.

I just made the decision that I was going to try comedy, and if didn't work, then I knew it didn't work. Then I would go back and do whatever. But at least I wouldn't torture myself the rest of my life, wondering whatever would have happened.

Comedy was my sport. It taught me how to roll with the punches. Failure is the exact same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops.

I always felt that my way into comedy would be through my writing rather than my acting.

I thought comedy would be the hardest thing I could do, and if I could do that, I could do anything.

Comedy is incredibly hard. You have to be loose. You have to be not afraid to fail.
