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.

What's nice with comedy is that you know it's working if it's funny.

Comedy is not something that a person can fake or learn how to do.

I think the kick to doing comedy is just to get in a film with really funny people and let them do their jobs. I find that in most comedies, I'm not the funny one, which works out great.

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

Comedy is not funny. Comedy is hard work and timing and lots and lots of rehearsals.

Some people learn comedy, and some people just are comedy.

With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand.

Comedy takes a very specific technique, specific skills.

Comedy is a way to make sense of chaos. It's a way of dealing with things that are overwhelming, that threaten you; it's a way to survive and get closer to the truth.
