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.

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

I'm just calm under fire. I'm not intimidating at all.

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

Great art is not instant. It comes from experience, it comes from a place within. If you're trying to generate material, then you're going to generate stuff. It's not going to be great, it's just going to be stuff.

I think that if you, as a comedian, are trying to be in people's face, then you've got to come up with new stuff every year. We're in a mass consumption phase where people take things for granted and want things to be instant when these are not things that can be instant.

There are two phases to a movie. First you shoot the movie, and then you make the movie. Generally, post-production is longer than filming.
