Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you. You come to work and you laugh all day, you go home and you feel light and there's a certain feeling when you're sitting with the audience and they leave after 90 minutes and it's just pure escapism and they're happy. ↗

I hate the analyzing thing. People say, 'Why do you think your character did that? I don't know. I'm not an analyst, and they're not in psychotherapy. Unless it's a film where they're in therapy. ↗

Writing is a fine therapy for people who are perpetually scared of nameless threats... for jittery people. ↗

You can stay in therapy your whole life, but you've got to live life and not talk about life. ↗
