“Comedy does offer an avenue to television and film careers for untelegenic people that great drama does not.”

“I literally went straight to New York City from Iraq, which was bizarre and complicated. I was walking down Madison Avenue, and it was spring, and people were smartly dressed, and it was so strange because there was no sense that we were at war. It was something to grapple with.”
