I would like to do maybe a smaller romantic comedy.
Romantic comedies are backbreaking to write because they have to be fresh.
I like comedy. I would love to do comedy for a long time.
Stand-up comedy is a raunchy profession.
(Can human beings change? The humor, and the sadness, of remarriage comedies can be said to result from the fact that we have no good answer to that question.)
Sin and grace, absence and presence, tragedy and comedy, they divide the world between them and where they meet head on, the Gospel happens.
... the preacher speaks both the word of tragedy and the word of comedy because they are both of them the truth and because Jesus speaks them both...
All Internet comedy is niche comedy. If you do an Internet video about Halo, every Halo fan will send it to every other Halo fan. But if you did an episode of a network comedy that parodied Halo, most of your audience wouldn't even get it.

I call it 'the Etch A Sketch life.' Every few years, you should shake that thing up.
Writing sketches, you're also learning about a journey and characters, and you translate that to bigger things.
I tend to think that there is a sophistication to everything at 'Saturday Night Live,' including the sketches.
Though we explore in a culturally-conditioned way, the reality we sketch is universal.
I would like to be known as an 'artist'. Whether that be music, acting, sketching, cooking, whatever. I'm interested in all of those things.
The comedy I like the best is comedy I can't do, stuff that doesn't touch my arena.
