If you're gonna tell a story from beginning to end, I always think you have to have a great structure in a script. If it gets you excited and it's something you've never read before that's another plus. I think also with improv and that whole world of stand-up, that's a whole other organism of comedy that still needs a story, but it's more free-form. On the set, it is the combination of both those worlds coming together: a great script and an allowance to play with it.

I've been in enough films where the studio wanted that extra little cuteness to make it sellable.

People who do comedy really are the nastiest people on the planet.

I still love being creative. I still love the aspects of working together with great, talented people. But it's a weird dichotomy; I'm being blessed with more opportunities, but I'm going to be taking less of them.

I love the written word; I love when someone takes the time or leaves you a note or sends a letter.

I rely on music heavily, just in life and in my work.

Once you learn how to say no, that's about the only place that you'll have control of your work and what you do.
