smoking actors cigarette
I always found it really funny when actors would come offstage, smoking cigarettes and swearing at each other.
numbers actors imagine
I see something that seems like standard fare, that I can imagine any number of actors playing, and I'm generally not interested.
writing thinking actors
It's great to write for actors when you know who they are. I think I prefer it.
actors lucky shows
I'm sort lucky in that for me, I'm a writer now. I started as an actor but I'm a writer and so things like 'Wilfred' and shows like that are where I escape to.
thinking comedy dramatic
I really think that you can extract a lot of comedy out of really dramatic, intense situations.
want narrative different
I want to do different projects and be versatile. I don't want to get fixed into narrative comedy.
drama thinking vices
I think that you can make a drama and have it be intensely funny, and vice versa.
girl eye levels
Sometimes girls would come in and audition and they'd talk down, and it was like, "No, no, talk to the human eye level."
children adults fascinated
I'm fascinated in the children within adults.
dog honesty real
The moment I do any puppy dog acting, I think the joke is dead. It's in the truth of how I play it, and the real painful honesty that I approach my performance with.
girlfriend long comedian
I've been insane for a long time. An ex-girlfriend of mine once asked, "Is it true that all comedians are depressed?," and I said, "Every one I know is."
people mind want
It's always difficult when you want to do something really new, and you also want it to reach the masses, because the majority of people want to see what they've already seen before, or that they're already familiar with. To open the majority of peoples' minds to something new is difficult.
film-and-television wanted industry
I really wanted to work in the American industry because it's the leading industry. It's where film and television started.
america being-the-best
I came to America so that I could work with the best and be the best.
