If you do something very successful, you will then be defined by it.

I have never wanted to be famous, as such - fame is a by-product.

But with comedy it's a simple premise. If it's funny, people laugh. If it's not, they don't.

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.

Comedy is unique in the sense that laughter is a palpable noise that everyone makes.

Convoy? Michael, you're hanging around with a man who uses a collective term for a single vehicle.

I always think that, even when people behave badly, if you like something deep inside them, then there is a tiny bit of nobility - they wish they could be good.
