I think serious situations actually make for the best kind of belly laughs. But they're also the hardest to convert into comedy at the outset.

It's fun once in a while to do a serious part but I really enjoy doing comedy because I love to laugh.

Comedy tends to come out of things which are quite painful and serious.

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.

Laurence Olivier said in an interview once that when he plays a tragedy he always aims for the funny parts, and the other way around. Because in a comedy you look for what's serious. I think that's true. Sometimes things are really funny if you're absolutely earnest. If you're really serious, it's hilarious.

I do love comedy, and when it's a comedy moment and you can make people laugh, of course it is wonderful.

Comedy, at least the way I write comedy, is just drama with jokes.

I love comedy because I can laugh at myself. I don't take myself too seriously.
