I try to find humor in everything I do, because I think all great plays - even great tragedies - have enormous humor in them.

I like to think what I bring to the table is kind of a sympathetic and endearing quality, even while I'm playing outcasts or characters that end up in outlandish situations.

I always gravitate towards characters that are so opposite of me.

I definitely try to mix humour into anything I do, even if it is into a drama.

I try to give all my characters a sense of humor, so I guess I feel like I have done comedy, but maybe I'm better known for drama.

When I act, a part of me goes into the character I am playing.

Humor levels the playing field. I understood that early on - that was something I had.

I learned that comedy is born out of strong characters. I won't begin writing a character until I have a clear take on them.

Sometimes you can take those dramatic roles and maybe interject a little humor into them, and I think the reverse also works.

Being funny with a funny voice is more my comfort zone, a broader character that I try to humanize, a kind of silly or wacky persona that I try to fill in.
