I’m an actor. I’ve always been an actor. I’ve always approached all my comedy as an actor. I don’t really care about jokes either. I tire of jokes.

I’m an obvious example of how everyone is spiraling out of control on the show and just trying to live life the best they can without destroying themselves.

Woody Allen – nobody has been a better joke teller than him – and even in his great films, it’s always coming out of the character. If you don’t have that, jokes are just empty and I think that people rely too much on jokes.
