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.

I'm not elitist. I like to do crowd-pleasing stuff which is a bit smart, but is just about belly laughs.

I'm gonna hump ya. Like Deputy Dog... Would hump ya.

I'm not Mother Teresa. But I'm not Frank Bough, either. I am getting older and a bit more sensible. I'm not going to be popping up in dungeons every six months. If you catch me preaching fidelity while I am shagging chickens then throw the book at me. Otherwise, leave me alone.

No one has a monopoly on wisdom, and even for people who aren't religious, you can learn things from religious people.

I'm just a good Catholic boy - I do naughty things and feel guilty about them.
