Let an audience be able to find it themselves without spoonfeeding it.

You never know what's going to happen with television these days.

So, deadpan I think just means not acknowledging for one second that you think that this is funny and clever.

I thought he was an interesting central figure, central character, one who is definitely not your typical central character figure in a film, who's easy to like. He's not easy to like. It forces you to involve yourself with what's going on.

All I try to do is as earnestly and as acutely as I can, conceive a character and try to portray this character just honestly. If the humor is within the absurdity and the awfulness of situations, then let it be seen that way.

I have heard nothing from my friends at The Family Guy. Yeah, I heard that they got picked up again and all that good stuff, but I haven't heard anything yet. But, you know, I'm very elusive and hard to contact.

I don't know if I ever really considered making a connection with the audience.
