I love comedy, and I think that's sort of what comes naturally to me.

I think comedy stems from being honest, often painfully so. I hope I can achieve that perspective in my own life and also have fun.

I think comedy's something you can't learn. It's an instinct, which makes it rather elusive.

For people who have done comedy after a certain point in time, I think there's a base level of, 'O.K., I think I'm decently funny.' But unless you just have some massive ego, I really think you're still fighting against that.

I like a naturalism to my dialogue and my comedy. I would rather have a few jokes sail by that might be more subtle than have every single joke hit hard. I would rather the comedy come out of character as opposed to feeling forced. Even if you're giving some laughs up for it.

I love comedy because I'm naturally a very silly person.

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.

I think comedy comes more from a low sense of self-esteem, and I certainly have that.

I think with comedy I get very sort of critical of myself and try and do the best I can and it doesn't come as second nature. I work at those kinds of films. It doesn't mean I can't do them - I've done two now, and I have a great time doing them, but I just find myself a little bit more neurotic.

It takes intelligence to make real comedy, and it takes a reality base to create all that little stuff I like to do that makes you giggle inside.
