Comedy is a serious business. It's frustrating when I can't find the right thing that makes the crew laugh. If I don't make them laugh, I get very disappointed in myself. You don't really have a live audience, so you just depend on the crew to let you know if you're doing something funny.

No one could tell me how I got there either, so I just assumed I got there on a shipwreck, and I went a little nutty.
