It is a challenge. When you do things that are comedy, you're having to look at the funnier side of life. Often I find Christians - but not just Christians, (any) people who have a certain core belief of things - don't like to have fun made of them at all.

I'm sort of an experimenter; I thought it'd be interesting to play around and see what's there.

Comedy is very interesting because you can very quickly cross into dangerous territory. I mean look at what happened, unfortunately, (in) Paris a couple of weeks ago. They were making comics - which were really satire - but it offended people. I'm not saying the reaction was justified but there's definitely a line when you're doing comedy or satire and how it might affect somebody. That's the thing you have to watch and I think you have to be respectful of it.

I love to entertain, I love to make people laugh, cry, and move them, perhaps moving them in their lives.

I have to say, though, it's a little strange doing both because Durant is very straight and stern and austere.

I'd like to direct some, act in some of them, and produce.

Well, acting was just in me and I tried to avoid it. I didn't want to do what my parents did, you know?
