Comedy can be destructive, and still very, very funny. But if I can do something that is fun to watch and critical of the world but not wantonly destructive, I pursue those kinds of ideas more. The world needs less destruction. And destruction is kind of “easy,” too.

If you surround me with darkness, suddenly, I am "somewhat fun."

Everybody needs some good sketch comedy.

In the end, the thing that really stays with you is not that you were clever enough to connect a sketch to another sketch, but what really sticks with you is when you just have an incredible moment happen, or execute a really funny idea.

My goal, whenever entering a project, is always to gain 12 pounds.

Comedy is tragedy plus timing.

Directing is probably the best job, but acting is really, really great. It's like a fun vacation that you get paid for.
