I think everything is going to be devastatingly sad - when the phone rings, I know somebody in my family's been hurt, somebody's going to die. I'm sure a therapist would go, 'That's not a good way to live,' but every time it's not that bad thing, I'm so thankful and appreciative.

I think people who do comedy tend to do it well, and to do it painfully and truthfully. So making the leap to drama is easier for them because everything they've done is from pain anyway.

I feel a huge responsibility to anyone who's younger than me, in helping them take the road less traveled, or finding no road at all and blazing a new trail.

I have a thing for red-haired Irish boys, as we know.

As for doing more dramatic work over comedy, I do whatever turns me on at the moment.

I'm difficult on every single level. I'm aware that I can be annoying.

I'm just having fun. And giving a sort of second shot at childhood and life - and I need to be present to do it.
