Comedy isn't necessarily all dialogue. Think of Buster Keaton: the poker face and all this chaos going on all around him. Sometimes it's a question of timing, of the proper rhythm.

There is a universality to comedy.

For comedy, timing is key.

What I love about comedy is breaking down the barrier between the audience and the performer.

Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.

I think comedy is one of the hardest things to pull off. You either have timing or you don't, and that's something I don't have for sure.

I think that comedy is one of the more serious things that you can do in our day, especially in the world that we're living in.

What's great about comedy, obviously, is that you set up a situation that people assume one thing and then you break the assumption. That's basically the backbone to comedy. You set up a situation, let people make an assumption, and then you break the assumption.

There's a lot of comedy in Intermission but it's got this depth. It's not comedy for comedy's sake - it's informed by something else. I like stuff like that.

Comedy is tragedy - plus time.
