In a comedy it helps enhance things that were already there.

A good actor is someone who knows how to take the part and make it real and make it honest and be effective in it. If it's in a funny movie and, as long as they are cast in an appropriate way, humor will come from it.

I've always believed in populating my films with characters who we like, who we have some warmth for, who have warmth for each other, who we would like to hang out with, who we emulate in one way or another. It's not that they all get along, or that there aren't bad people or people we make fun of. But at the core, there's a kind of sweetness.

I never like to do parodies. I never do. It's just not my style of comedy.

I don't think my sense of humor has changed at all; I was born with this, for better or for worse.
