I never once had a regular paycheck. Not for more than six weeks in a row and for the most part not even that. I still haven't. The notion of some whistling kid with a mail cart coming down the hall and handing me my weekly paycheck is something I've only seen in Matthew Broderick movies.

My whole career this is the biggest failure financially, but at the same time, it's one of my favorite things I've ever done.

Nobody loses money on my movies. I make them cheap.

My movies don't make any money, and they don't really light the world on fire. But I'm really lucky because I've gotten them made.

We listened to a lot of drama, adaptations of books, comedy. There was a real love of music expressed in choirs, because you didn't have to have instruments except your voice.

I thought people would ask me really personal questions because I've shown more of myself, but it's a comedy, and people understand that it's a game we play.

Comedy is tragedy - plus time.

Comedy is a universal language.
