I'd been an actor my whole life, since I was a kid. And then, I quit for awhile and went to university. When I wanted to start acting again, I couldn't get a job, and that was really depressing. So, I realized, at that time, that I have to take responsibility for my own creativity.

Comedy takes a very specific technique, specific skills.

When I started editing on my home computer, I said to myself, 'Well, I could be at home studying for a class or I could be at home editing a video.'

I think there is something beautiful in reveling in sadness

I think our culture is sick and tired of fluffy nonsense and people want something more sincere and heartfelt.

As soon as you are trying to be funny or dramatic, that's when things start feeling fake and boring.

Normally you read a screenplay - and I read a lot of them - and the characters don't feel like people. They feel like plot devices or cliches or stereotypes.
