I would be a terrible director, I could never write anything. One of my great strengths is that I know all of my weaknesses.

The whole acting thing is a buffet. One, in terms of role choice and movie choice, I like to do lots of different things, and I think that's the whole fun of it. But I also see it as a buffet in terms of the character.

I really loved when I started doing '70s Show,' though I had never acted before, so it was a great training ground being on a sitcom.

The great thing about a sitcom is that you're in front of a live audience, so you really get in touch with what audience reaction is, but also there are lots of elements of film that you're dealing with, and there's kind of a great boot camp or graduate school mentality to it, because you're going to suck.

What I love about the Coen brothers - what everyone loves - is that they sort of toe the line of a truly dark comedy.

Ever since the romantic comedy-drama 'She's Gotta Have It' antagonized black women and black men in 1986, Spike Lee's films have enjoyed the outrage of various groups.

Comedy is surprise. Comedy is not something that you can, necessarily, do twice.

As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.
