Being a TV comedian, actor, writer, columnist, and all that is quite helpful to me in acquiring wide varieties of knowledge, which is crucial for filmmaking.

I paint for the sheer joy of painting. I have never sold any of my paintings. I'd rather give them to people for free.

Eventually, this is how I would like to be remembered at the end of my career: He was never the best in anything he did - comedy, acting, filmmaking, writing, etc. But nobody was better at doing different things at the same time than he was.

My philosophy is that one shall not resort to violence unless one is resolved to become the subject of violence at any time.

I thought maybe I could become like the next Van Gogh. I bought a sunflower and painted it, and it looked like the work of a 6-year-old.

I always come to conclusions very fast. Well, that is one way of thinking, and the other way would be that I lack the necessary perseverance to stick to one thing that really fits me. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing.

Humour is like violence. They both come to you unexpectedly, and the more unpredictable they both are, the better it gets.
