I can't imagine a successful comedy movie without a successful comedy performance at the heart of it.

We are all several different people. There are different aspects of our nature that are competing.

I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

Once you're alienated, you're on your own. That takes you to the world of the existential, where things just kind of float.

I think satire is a luxury of literate middle-class people. People who are well fed and relatively secure in their beds can laugh at their troubles. They can enjoy sitcoms. For those who aren't quite so lucky, well, the irony might be lost on them.

As much as I liked acting for its playfulness and the reward of hearing big laughs wash over you on a stage, I always felt I should do something that I could control.

No matter what I have to say, I'm still trying to say it in comedic form.
