![“The thing I love about sketch is sometimes it leads you as opposed to you leading it. So, I don't go out there [thinking], "Oh, I want to make this as silly as possible." In fact, sometimes I get the most enjoyment out of a sketch that plays very real - and it's so real that it's just funny.” quote by Harland Williams](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c32/harland-williams-17630_enjoyment_the-thing-i-love-about-sketch-is-sometim_2972808.jpg)
