I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.

It's fun to watch a true-blue movie star at work. They're really unbelievably charismatic. They understand camera angles.

I'm not a standup, but I play one on TV.

There are different kinds of actors, and movie actors tend to be exceedingly precise and mechanical in a way that's really admirable for me to watch. You always learn from them.

I always tried not to be too mean, but my problem is that the people I tend to find hilarious don't usually have senses of humor. So interacting with them is a little bit of an awkward engagement, because I can't really make them laugh, on top of which I've been doing an impression of them.

I'm not much of a famous-person friend. I've hung out with Brooke Shields and I don't think I've ever seen that kind of pure face recognition, but I keep a low profile.

Comedy's been really liberating for me because I've been able to sneak the singing part in through the back door.
