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

I have no trouble selling out—I’m a benevolent hack, in a certain way—but I want to pander for something I believe in.

My characters aren't losers. They're rebels. They win by their refusal to play by everyone else's rules.

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.

You can't love somebody into a state of mental health. A lot of people get into serious relationships thinking they're going to heal someone with their love and attention, but it doesn't usually work out that way.

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.
