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

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

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

I'm about to go to Sundance for my 3rd year, and Sundance has never felt like a real independent festival at all. On the other hand, it might to start feel that way.

You get to use everything you learned in movie business. You talk to actors, if you do it right - and I haven't always done it right - you should be shaping the material all the time. And the other thing is, you get all the blame when you direct and it doesn't work. You get slammed. So that's another reason to know what you're making, why you're making it, and make it the way you want.

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

Comedy is tragedy plus timing.
