If you're doing a drama that has some comedic elements you can't forget that it's primarily a very serious film that has some light relief.

I think I have never seen a humorless movie that was any good to me.

If I were given a choice between two films and one was dark and explored depraved, troubled or sick aspects of our culture, I would always opt for that over the next romantic comedy.

There's a fine line between comedy and the darkest place ever.

As you know it is a comedy so everything is a little bit pushed. That's what's funny about this kind of movie is you can laugh about the absurdity, and the bad side of life.

After making several tragic movies in a row, I was looking to do a comedy, and one without cynicism.

It's always been said that comedy comes mostly out of the dark side anyway.

Well, life is dark, isn't it? Mostly, it's dreadful. At the same time, death is funny too. I mean, look at the fuss we make of it.

The 'Twilight' movies are great in their own right, but they certainly don't have any sense of humor to them.

I prefer comedies when they come from a dark kind of place and have a reality to it.
