I had a band before I did standup - I've always done music. I got known for being funny, and that's how I make a living - and from acting - but I never stopped playing and producing and recording music.

I stopped doing standup because it stopped being fun. And the reason it stopped being fun was it was harder to write - and this was before the Internet - it was harder to write new stuff. It had gotten so crazy.

Being funny has always mattered a lot to me. It's why I started acting - to make my friends laugh.

I never thought I was funny, but I enjoy being funny.

I'm good at being funny.

You, the actor, must be aware of when you're being funny, but the character you're playing should always be oblivious to the fact.
