Don't say you're going to stop eating red meat when you like red meat.

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

When you envy actors, only envy them for their good roles. Keep in mind they have to do a lot of roles to make a living, and not all of them are good. When they're doing a stupid role in a bad production, it's kind of a dumb thing to do when you're an adult. When you're doing a great role that's well-written, it's an enviable job.

In acting, you're only responsible for your part. When you're directing, the load is on your shoulders, so you have to feel a strong connection to the material. It's a higher bar to get over.

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.

Everybody needs some good sketch comedy.

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.
