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.

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.

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

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.

My daughter got me a 'World's Best Dad' mug. So we know she's sarcastic.

I actually think there's a potential, a crazy potential, that network TV could become something valuable and worthwhile, just because of fear on the part of the networks.
