Whether you make an action blockbuster or a comedy or a drama, you've got the right camera and all the right technology to do it.

Medicine really matured me as a person because, as a physician, you're obviously dealing with life and death issues, issues much more serious than what we're talking about in entertainment. You can't get more serious than life and death. And if you can handle that, you can handle anything.
Comedy is probably a way of dealing with anxiety. Sometimes it's a way of dealing with pain.

A man of knowing attains to a sense of humour. Let this always be remembered. If you see someone who has no sense of humour, know well that that man has not known at all.

Knowing brings a playfulness; knowing brings a sense of humour. The sense of humour is a must.

One of the things the police officers told us in the first minutes of being with them is that the way that they cope with their job is by using a lot of inappropriate humour.

Having that kind of humour along with the pathos for what people are going through is a really nice challenge.
Comedy is the result of what's happening, not what people are doing. Because if people are doing comedy. It's embarrassing. The individual elements have to be straight-faced, serious, realistic with a firm basis. What makes it comedy is a somewhat shifted way to put it together.
