Comedy is not supposed to be funny. Its supposed to tell the truth and then that's funny.

Maybe at the core of me, I'm a survivor, but I don't do it on purpose. Sometimes, in acting of course with your performance, some of your own personal character seeps through. My performance goal has always been to perform for the audience. People pay their hard earned money, and so I always desire to give all of myself in every single scene.

The older I get, the more I accept and appreciate myself.

I realized that what we do as professions affects how we act as people, big-time.

I really appreciate and respect the audience. People pay their hard-earned money to go watch you, so I feel like it's my job to give 100,000% of myself to what I'm doing.

I'm a physical person. That's why I like action movies. I like to get real into it all, and get real down and dirty.

A movie is painting, it's photography, it's literature - because you have to have the screenplay - it's music. Put a different soundtrack to a comedy and it's a tragedy.
