The pressures having grown up in this business can be really rough. And it is a testament to you that you have remained focused and NOT lost your mind.

I'm not on all the time. I like to have fun and be funny, but I'm much more of a thinker.

I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen.

I enjoy the character interplay. Sometimes the audience is not laughing, but smiling, and that is almost just as good because it keeps them ready to laugh.

Comedy has a responsibility to be a voice of society, so within that, there's always going to be those that talk about those subjects and things that are going on in the world.

I have been a director who has starred, participated on both sides of the filmmaking process.
