I don't think the sketch on its own is a great sketch.

I felt my personal life was not what it should be. It had nothing to do with Mr. Show - I'm monstrously appreciative and understand what it did for me and to me - but after four years, I just felt like I needed to do something else. I guess I wanted to be in a different place, physically.

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

I think that cable TV is a great venue to do something interesting.

We're all real people with moments of intense honesty and pathos and humanity. We all experience that, whether you're comedic or not.

I think that acting is no fun unless it's hard. I'm not titillated by acting or being an actor unless I have to work hard.

You can't guarantee that you'll make a great movie, but you can make a greater effort than I made at trying to see that the basics are there.
