I mean I talk about being Jewish a lot. It's funny because I do think of myself as Jewish ethnically but I'm not religious at all. I have no religion.

It's funny because '1600 Penn' was the first time I really started to read the reviews because I am an executive producer and I wanted to see what people were enjoying and not enjoying as a means to an end right?

But I think you can make fun of anything as long as it's funny enough.

Well I'm not afraid to say something if I think it's funny even if it's harsh or racist.

It's so funny when you're actually directing because things start popping that you don't expect to pop and something that you think is going to pop maybe doesn't quite have the impetus that you thought it might.

And remember it's also very funny because side by side with grief lies joy.

There have been times when I felt suicidal and I would stop my head from going in that direction of negativity because I thought there'd be something I'd miss that was funny in the future. If there's a chance I'm going to laugh tomorrow then want to live to experience that.

The prospects for a coherent hilarious and consistent American comedy seem to lessen every year as the poor waterlogged gassy corpse called 'Evan Almighty' proved when it floated ashore recently. So there's a temptation to think too highly of Robin Williams's uneven but occasionally funny 'License to Wed.'

I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who just happens to be funny on occasion.
