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

Most people live somewhere on the spectrum of anxiety and depression.

I have a great respect for the moviegoing experience. It's such a unique thing. You're not getting up and walking around the house or flipping channels during the dull parts. You're in a dark space, and the movie fills most of your field of vision. You're surrounded by sound, and the colors are deeply saturated, and faces are fifteen feet high. If it's done well, you're really going to feel some big emotions or have some big belly laughs.

I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

Comedy is essentially made by young men, or older men with some form of arrested development, for young men or immature older men.

Well, for me, it's the relationship between comedy and life - that's the edge I live on, and maybe it's my protection against looking at the tragedy of it all. It's seeing life in balance. Comedy and tragedy co-exist. You can't have one without the other. I'm of the school that anything can be funny, if seen from a comedic point of view.

You can't love somebody into a state of mental health.
