Growing up, I wasn't as comfortable expressing myself as I am now, and I think that's why I chose acting: because it's acceptable to have your feelings. It's a place that they want you to feel. Whereas in life, growing up, it was 'Be quiet!' and 'Keep it to yourself.'

I think you can write very good comedy without a partner, but what I love about it, working with a partner, is that you get to places you'd never get on your own.

With Ricky Gervais, it's all shades of wrong, it's my kind of humor.
