The writer's room is a really interesting place to be.

I've been insane for a long time. An ex-girlfriend of mine once asked, "Is it true that all comedians are depressed?," and I said, "Every one I know is."

I really wanted to work in the American industry because it's the leading industry. It's where film and television started.

Sometimes girls would come in and audition and they'd talk down, and it was like, "No, no, talk to the human eye level."

The moment I do any puppy dog acting, I think the joke is dead. It's in the truth of how I play it, and the real painful honesty that I approach my performance with.

I see something that seems like standard fare, that I can imagine any number of actors playing, and I'm generally not interested.

I really think that you can extract a lot of comedy out of really dramatic, intense situations.
