I love comedy because I can laugh at myself. I don't take myself too seriously. ”

Comedy can be more difficult than drama. It requires more attention to timing. In the theater, you're always dependent on the audience for the energy, but in comedy the feedback you get is more important. You can judge by the quickness and the length of the laugh just where you stand with the audience. ”

You have to be careful what you say in front of comedy writers because they will absolutely make fun of it in the next episode. ”

As an actor, I'm always critical watching others; it's just the nature of the beast. For me, any performance that doesn't cause my ego to say, 'I can do that' really signifies that it's spectacular. ”

Though television is a smaller medium than the stage, you can't be afraid to be big. ”
