Dali had a good sense of humor - obviously you could tell just looking at him he was funny.

People ask me what the most important thing to take on the race is, and I always say it's a sense of humor. If you've got nothing but a sense of humor, you will survive.

I think films about men are often about characters who don't want to express their feelings. You're supposed to kind of admire them for not expressing their feelings. And I feel that's a bit dull. Women's stories often have stronger emotional content, which I enjoy doing. What I really love doing is mixing that with humor.

Throw in the humor, throw in that personality, try things you wouldn't normally try.

I think my sense of humor is Jewish. I'm smarter than most white people, which is kind of a Jewish thing, too.
