“That was the funny part of the reading.”

Always find the funny.

“I'm not sure. I like to have funny answers for that or avoid the question but I'm tired of trying to be funny with that one.”

“It's a funny song and a funny video about a very serious topic. A lot of women die at the hands of their husbands.”

I always believe that funny is serious and serious is funny. You don't really need a distinction between them.

Cool is the enemy of funny. You can't be cool and be funny at the same time. Only Eddie Murphy could do that.

There's a rule of writing: if everything is funny, nothing is funny; if everything is sad, nothing is sad. You want that contrast.

I don't get a chance to be funny with the thrillers. I like to be funny, and I think I am really funny. So with 'Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life', it was fun to let loose.

I think all good drama is funny. All the best drama is ultimately very funny. Life is funny. You can't have any honest treatise on life without bumping into some humor.

Thing is, I'm a funny actor, but I'm not good at being funny. I'm going to ramble for a second: I'm an actor who can make things funny in the moment, like in stakes or in circumstances or out of character.
