I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
Graphic novels are such a visually creative world - it's really interesting what they can do in one sketch. Now I'm hooked.
I studied to be an architect. And I find tremendous similarities between building a company and the design process. Businesses have to do their planning on the fly in a fashion similar to an architect sketching.
A part of my kind of design and inspiration ethos is that I carry around a leather notebook and I sketch in it, doodle in it, write notes in it, and I put pictures in it.
Canada has been a breeding ground for great comedic actors, sketch artists and stand-up comedians. We grew up with a different perspective on the world.
I think sketch writing is a good spot for everyone to start because it requires you to develop characters, have a beginning, middle and end and have a bunch of jokes in a short amount of time.
I would go to sketch groups and draw. I really enjoyed the subject matter, but I wasn't good at it.
There is not in the world so toilsome a trade as the pursuit of fame; life concludes before you have so much as sketched your work.
I became interested in photography when I found my own sketching was inadequate.
I used to put on sketch shows at boarding school when I was eight. I'm not sure about the material, but it did used to get a laugh.
Maybe it's just my improv and sketch background, but I'm a lot more comfortable in a group. I like sharing focus and populating an ensemble.
Most of my videos consist of fragments, one or two minutes long. They are haikus or sketches. I have thousands.
I normally keep a series of draft in a catalogue type of book in which I scribble, sketch and draw ideas.
I sketch while I'm on set, and it's a way for me to record all of the locations I've been to. I don't keep a diary but a sketchbook.
I was in a sketch group in L.A., and we were playing, like, backyards in Glendale and stuff. It was pretty ugly because we didn't have any money.
There's an art to stupid comedy. There's an art to offensive comedy, and I think the key is it's just gotta make you laugh.
Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error.
There's nothing so fearsome as the revolt of a sheep," said de Marsay.
The reason most comedies don't win awards is that the filmmakers put the comedy first. This means you have to create a story around the jokes.
With comedy, you have no place to go but more comedy, so you're never off the hook.
I think comedy is so specific, so hard. I'd audition for comedies and think, 'I can't pull this off.'
