I mostly, for someone who makes a lot of their living in comedy - and even for someone who doesn&#39;t make their living in comedy - I don&#39;t watch a lot of comedy.

If someone is doing something crazy - or what I think is crazy - I&#39;m watching, but also am I keeping the actual seriousness of someone actually running for president in my mind all the time?

Documentaries are my favorite thing, and the more depressing, the better.

I love not serious documentaries, too, but I love seeing people at their wits&#39; end, I guess.

I love Errol Morris so much; he&#39;s one of my heroes.

I need something fun to get my mind off of pretending to die and I didn&#39;t have any squibs under water.

Even to play a dead body; that&#39;d be an easy gig.

I had to pretend to drown. I was underwater, which is scary, and I&#39;m not afraid of water, but people do die underwater.

I&#39;m strictly a movie person. I mean, I watch the HBO documentaries and Netflix.
