Everything starts with writing. And then to support your vision, your ideas, your philosophy, your jokes, whatever, you've gotta perform them and/or direct them, or sometimes just produce them.

My job is to go out and entertain the most people possible.

I loved Westerns as a little kid, and I loved horror films.

I'm rather secular. I'm basically Jewish. But I think I'm Jewish not because of the Jewish religion at all.

It may sound surprising, but a joke and a crime novel work in very much the same way. The comedian/writer leads their audience along the garden path. The audience know what's coming, or at least they think they do until they get hit from a direction they were not expecting.

Comedy people like other comedy people. People hang out and are friends and do shows together, and when you get something going like a TV show or a movie, you want your friends to be in it and make it funnier. That's just the way it should be.

Anyone in the comedy world knows that Horatio Sanz and Chris Parnell are two of the funniest guys around.

Comedy is really getting quite popular in South Africa.
