I actually feel like for a lot of my career I wasn't able to show my comedic range. I did a lot of dramas and dramedies. I was on 'E.R.' That's not generally thought of as a funny show.

I was going through a little bit of turbulence in my career. And so it's funny how turbulence itself will make you hold onto something for security. And so the only thing I knew is trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own heart in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.

It's funny but when I arrived in California to start college I was much more interested in becoming a surfer and cruise along in life from one beach to the next. I didn't plan out any huge career for myself.

Everything seems fine until you're about 40. Then something is definitely beginning to go wrong. And you look in the mirror with your old habit of thinking 'While I accept that everyone grows old and dies it's a funny thing but I'm an exception to that rule.'

To this day I've found that it doesn't matter what a guy looks like if he's really funny. His sense of humor makes him attractive. On the other hand you don't hear men saying 'No she's not pretty but is she ever funny!'

It's funny that all these goths paint their faces with such white make-up and that is the actual colour of my skin I am that pale!

I really love 'Soapdish.' I wish 'Soapdish' had more of a moment because I felt that that is a really strong funny movie. Kevin Kline is hilarious in that movie.

I'm not a movie guy I'm not a TV sitcom guy but whatever seems to fit and is funny is good for me.

I tell girls all the time that the men that have fallen in love with me have all fallen during a man repeller stage... funny how life works out like that.

That's a funny thing fame. People definitely do treat you differently. When you begin to be successful people say 'Don't go changing.' Well that's easy to say but the fact is you don't change at all - other people do.

It's funny because I did all of these interviews as soon as I had the baby and they were asking questions and I really didn't have an idea of anything because I was so blurry.

I'm not a very serious person. You know how they say that clowns are very funny in public and are really sad at home? I'm really kind of stupid at home and more serious in public.

Yes I believe blue material is funny but if that's all you've got you're dead in the water. It's not good.

I like all Jim Carrey films. They're really funny.

I joke around a lot about the manic times because they're funny. We manics do outrageous things and it is part of our colorful nature.

I think if actors don't think of themselves as funny in real life they think they can't do comedy.

Well in the book Carrie was my alter ego. In real life Sarah Jessica and I don't look anything alike. But people do say that we sound alike. Sarah Jessica is an adorable girl and she is very funny.

It's sad and upsetting when you see somebody crying hysterically but at the same time it's real funny.

I think I have a dark view of the world. I have to make everything funny otherwise it all seems so sad.

It's funny because I'm a man of strong opinions and when I make one I stand by it even if it starts to appear incorrect to me after a while.

Plus I love comic writing. Nothing satisfies me more than finding a funny way to phrase something.

Mmmm... the comedy that matters is the comedy you pull out of thin air. It's a bit like when something funny has happened and you try to explain it to someone else and end up saying 'You had to be there.'

People forget how outcast 'They Might Be Giants' can be. They have a reputation for writing really deft funny clever melodies and they also make a lot of music for kids which is terrific but when you see them in concert they can rock the house.

One can always come up with funny lists and jokes. You know what? I take it back. Not everyone can always come up with funny lists and some jokes. I'm very lucky to have a gift where I can do that pretty ably.
