I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that.

I usually get freaked out if I'm in a situation where a lot of people recognise me at once.

Every day's an adventure when I step out of my door. That's why I usually wear a hat and keep my head low.

I've always loved comedy and growing up it was the comedies that I really responded to. So I don't know how it turned out that once I started acting that I started getting a certain kind of role, that I never saw myself as growing up, so I really love when I get an opportunity to play a [comedian] role.

I can't relate to 99% of humanity.

Casting is everything. Getting the person that you imagined is this character and then seeing what they bring to it.That's why you hire them, so why tell somebody first what it is you want? I'm more curious to see what they bring to it and then be inspired by it and say: "OK, what if you tried this?" or "What would happen if ... ?"

I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.
