The act of seeing any film generally is you knowing more than the characters, even if its the classic Hitchcock shot of two people talking and a bomb being under the table. Part of the pleasure of it is seeing where people go wrong, and the irony of situations.

To be in a video is a ridiculous thing. It's almost impossible to do it without any humour

I'm not a terribly social person, and so I have to really like people to work with them.

I think people have the capacity to be many different things and many seemingly contradictory behaviors.

I only ever privately tell people stuff for the scene. And I often ask what they feel is right. Normally, by the time that we're filming, if it doesn't work, it always the script.

I'm just terrible. At talking. With words.

A lot of comedies are based on the reaction shot. You have one person doing something stupid and one person is generally the straight man, and the laughs generally come on the reaction of the straight man to the funny thing the other person has done.
