You can't be funny if you don't have good material.

It's the hardest thing to come up with an hour of material that can consistently keep people laughing.

You achieve the surreal jokes through the realism by making it elastic.

It's much funnier when the comedy can happen with me just trying my best to genuinely do a good thing.

Honestly, I just like to make movies. The funnier the better.

I'll do anything to get the laugh. I love it.

There's something that's really fun about the challenge of making the mundane funny, too, I think.

It's funny, the hardest thing to do is to make something look like it's fast, loose and improvised, and get somebody to laugh.

The only way I was going to be funny was if I was myself, and either you liked it, or you didn't. Either you got on my train, or you didn't. Freeing myself of this idea that I had to fit a certain mold was when I was able to be my funniest.

My brand of comedy is taking a serious approach to silliness. Small moments of modern life and human behavior make me laugh. At least that's where everything starts, and then my other through line would be a dry absurdity that exponentially spirals out of reality.
