There's really no substitute for working hard. I think that's my biggest talent. There are always people who are funnier and more talented than I am, but I don't take anything for granted and I commit myself 100% to each of my roles.

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.

I'm not lying, every single project I've done, they've all been great.

You can have all the tools in the world but if you don't genuinely believe in yourself, it's useless.

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

It was such an amazing feeling to be on that movie set. And for the first scene I ever did in any movie, I improvised for about 10 minutes, and then there's applause by the crew, you know what I mean? I haven't had that before or since. It was just such an amazing moment.

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.
