You know, some people can't get past their past, I guess. I certainly haven't.

I've been largely an improvisational actor for most of my career, except for when I've worked with the Coen brothers.

Sometimes I'm playing somebody that I may have a problem with. Your job as an actor is not to go only play things that make you look good.

If you can make a color show or movie seem like it's in black-and-white, then you've done a really good job.

Without humor, I cannot go on and I doubt many of my readers would go on either. Humor is so important. I am here to have fun here with my work.

Political satire is a serious thing. In democratic newspapers throughout the world there are daily cartoons that often are not even funny, as is the case especially in many English-language newspapers. Instead, they contain a political message, and the artist takes full responsibility.

The comedy community is very friendly right now. I think that's why you see all the synergy and people doing each other's movies.

The best kind of comedy to me is when you make people laugh at things they've never laughed at, and also take a light into the darkened corners of people's minds, exposing them to the light.
