You can't be a casual observer of something humorous - you have to engage you have to find it funny for the relationship between actor and audience to work.

You know what's funny is that I have this ongoing relationship with the city of Washington D.C. I went to George Washington University and my nickname was K-Dub - based on G-Dub - and I'm now on the board of trustees at George Washington University.

I just recently joined Twitter. It's very positive - I love all the accolades. If my ego is hurting I can just open my Twitter account and see 'Oh I love you! I love the show!' and it's great. I'm trying to find the balance between trying to be funny being honest and just being a promoter as the guy on 'Royal Pains.'

One of my biggest pet peeves is that I just don't like it when characters do things that are funny to the writer but you don't know why they're doing it and it doesn't make any sense.

For me Twitter works best as a way of taking pictures of being stuck in traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge. If people really want to read really funny quips about life parenting and pop culture then by all means read Michael Ian Black's tweets.

Movies either work or they don't work and they're either funny or they're not and we work very hard. To achieve that kind of work is really kind of delicate stitching.

Some of those more out-there jokes were written in the wee hours of the morning. Somehow they remained funny the next day.

This morning someone sent me a very funny photo of me holding their puppy. We have matching colour jackets.

John Ford was so funny that I couldn't wait to go to work in the morning.

My mom's passionate and energetic and very funny and enthusiastic.
