I'm not an expert on the Malaysian sense of humor.
Fashion is so over the top.
I just watched Paul Michael Glaser. He was the reason I wanted to do the movie because as a kid I was such a big fan of his. I watched all the episodes and tried to get a feeling for what he was doing.
I would like to do more dramas when I find a good role that will allow me to politely upset people's expectations of me as a comic actor.
I think people will be curious to see what I can do as a dramatic actor.
I think most politicians could take a dodgeball in the face.
I love New York. I was sad, depressed and incredibly moved by our fellow countrymen and what they've done. I wanted to give people a chance to see something funny, have a distraction.
I have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener.
I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.

I enjoy the work I do in comedies. It's a valid test of your creative abilities.
I've had a very good career and I'm grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work.
I don't have a burning desire to be taken seriously as an actor. I don't have a master plan in that way.
