Being comedic is a skill, because there is a fine line where the context is important. And being dramatic is just being honest and real in that moment.

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

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

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.

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.

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 is tragedy plus timing.
