I always just loved to laugh. I always just loved it as a kid.

I think I've been asked just about every question under the sun. I'm just really honored that people are even interested in asking me questions.

I have a very simple approach in career: You work with the people you love.

I really realize the more movies I do just how important - it's so cliché when people say it, because everybody says it nowadays - but it's so important to keep it grounded. I totally understand what that means.

Medicine really matured me as a person because, as a physician, you're obviously dealing with life and death issues, issues much more serious than what we're talking about in entertainment. You can't get more serious than life and death. And if you can handle that, you can handle anything.

I think everyone's different but in comedy, I try to do my scene to make the director and the other actors laugh. If I can make them laugh and we have the same sensibility, then I'm on the right page.

When I finished my residency in New Orleans, I went to L.A. where I would work as a doctor during the day, and then at night I would actually go to The Improv and do standup, all the while kind of cultivating my comedy resume.
