My Background Was Producing And Writing And

The Darker The Film, The More Vital Everyone's Sense Of Humor Is On Set.

The More I Love The Character, The Harder It Is To Get It Wrong. I Have To Get To A Point That I Can Speak For Them.

It's Got To Be A Challenge But At The Same Time You Have To Feel As Though You Can Play Them - It's Really Dangerous To Want To Be A Part Of Something Just Because You Think It's Going To Be Great. I've Been Sent Plenty Of Scripts Where I've Known That It's Going To Be A Great Film And A Successful One, But I Just Couldn't Convince Myself That I Was The Right Person For The Part. So, I Think You Have To Be Careful With That.

It's Usually Very, Very Hard For Me To Pick Up A Script That Was Written And Try And See Myself As A Part Of That, Especially When You're Used To Performing All Your Own Material. It's Ok With Drama, I Like Being Handed Great Material But I Think With Comedy It's Far More Personal And Probably A Lot Harder For Me To Find A Fit.

Obviously This Stuff Takes A Bit Of Planning, But I've Always Been Someone That Sets Achievable Short-term Goals. I've Never Been Someone That's Had A Five-year Plan, Or A Three-year Plan. That Just Seems To Lead To A Lot Of Disappointment, And Doesn't Give You The Chance To Be Flexible. So I've Just Always Been Someone That's Sort Of Reassessed Where I'm At, And Set Goals That Are Realistic. And Luckily, I've Had Plenty Of Chances To Recalibrate And Adjust, And Good Fortune's Come My Way.
