I don't go to premieres, unless I'm contractually bound to.

I don't think I'm kind of universally known. I think in the indie world I'm probably better known than in some mainstream Hollywood terms.

If you chase something too desperately, it eludes you.

I like comedy, but I like comedy as a device in drama. It's more interesting for me to use comedy to seduce people into thinking about something serious. If you want to hit a beat in a drama, you can distract people with a little comedy, and you can punch them in the gut with some emotion.

The Church at its best is about empowering the disempowered and giving voice to the dispossessed and not putting a price on everything and not being about the bottom line and not worshipping the market or everything that is material.

I try to not make safe choices, but I also like to do stuff which is interesting and is sort of exciting in some way and accessible.

The great thing is that the funny side of getting old is fuel for my comedy.
