It's great to write for actors when you know who they are. I think I prefer it.
I've been insane for a long time. An ex-girlfriend of mine once asked, "Is it true that all comedians are depressed?," and I said, "Every one I know is."
I think that you can make a drama and have it be intensely funny, and vice versa.
I want to do different projects and be versatile. I don't want to get fixed into narrative comedy.
I really think that you can extract a lot of comedy out of really dramatic, intense situations.
I'm much more a writer than an actor. Although I have a great respect for that and I enjoy acting still, it really is about the world that I'm creating. That's where my future is.
I like drama as well. When I played Hamlet, I got one review that said, "This must surely be the funniest Hamlet in history," but schoolgirls would still cry when he died.
I've had some offers from furries - people that want to have sex with dudes in furry suits. I've had some interesting requests. There's some great fans.
The acting is more of a secondary thing for me now. I will be in it, if I'm the best man for the job, but it really is about creating characters and shows.
I really wanted to work in the American industry because it's the leading industry. It's where film and television started.
I came to America so that I could work with the best and be the best.
I'm fascinated in the children within adults.
Sometimes girls would come in and audition and they'd talk down, and it was like, "No, no, talk to the human eye level."
The moment I do any puppy dog acting, I think the joke is dead. It's in the truth of how I play it, and the real painful honesty that I approach my performance with.
I always found it really funny when actors would come offstage, smoking cigarettes and swearing at each other.
It's always difficult when you want to do something really new, and you also want it to reach the masses, because the majority of people want to see what they've already seen before, or that they're already familiar with. To open the majority of peoples' minds to something new is difficult.
I often don't like seeing how different things are made. I'm not a big fan of behind the scenes stuff.
