I think all comics borrow from each other. Only a few have an original voice, and I wasn't one of them. In the end, I couldn't figure out who to steal from, so I stopped doing it.

I don't think about the characters I choose to play, analytically or consciously.

Casting is everything. Getting the person that you imagined is this character and then seeing what they bring to it.

By nature, I think I am a pretty private person, and that is what is hard even doing interviews for films that I really love doing, because in some ways, it diminishes the experience that I had.

Really interesting things come because you don't know what the rules are, what you can and can't do.

Anything you write, even if you have to start over, is valuable. I let the story write itself through the characters.

I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it.
