I really appreciate comedy a lot.

You want comedic themes to be recogniseable life truths that we all battle with, and with that comes the healing properties of comedy.

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

Even in the depths of dreadful situations, there's usually something rather comic, or something you can laugh about afterwards, at least. So, I do look for the comedy in those things.

Deep inside, I am desperate to do comedy.

In the process of looking for comedy, you have to be deeply honest. And in doing that, you'll find out here's the other side. You'll be looking under the rock occasionally for the laughter.

I have deep comedic roots, and I want to be funny.

I am a passionate believer that comedy is a way of tackling some of the most dark and difficult aspects of being a human being.

I actually gravitate toward comedy a lot when it comes to what I'm watching, but maybe that's because I've been on such dark work the last four or five years.

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.
