Actor

I really appreciate comedy a lot.

I really empathise with some of my peers who had success in the early years; then it dries up, and so there's no reason to get up in the morning.

Kids want you to take them to whatever kid movie is opening, and you just hope it's good because you're going to buy a ticket, no matter what. If it's no good, you kind of drape your arm over your kid so they don't get smashed, and you take a little nap.

I have a tendency to evolve into William Shatner, with my big fat face.

I don't really find a problem with technology or television or anything. I'm a product of it. I grew up watching TV, and I don't think I'm too dumb or too crazy.

I remember my dad working with me on breaking down my script and writing out a back story for my character and all that stuff.

I just think technology is pretty amazing. Like all things that are great, you have to be responsible about how much you use it.

I'm not talented enough to drop everything and become somebody different.

I don't really find a problem with technology or television or anything. I'm a product of it. I grew up watching TV, and I don't think I'm too dumb or too crazy.

I'd much rather have the freedom, and the obligation to use it responsibly, than be put in a box.

I try to figure out how much of the character I can find in myself because you don't want to get outside of your skill-set.

My goal is to get another 30 years out of this business. So I need to figure out the fuel to do that. And so far, I think it's respect and quality and company, not celebrity or box office or stardom. It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

My father was a freelance writer/director/producer, and my mother was a stewardess for Pan-Am. It was very non-traditional.

I was just a lot smarter about not getting caught. I mean, I never stuck anything in my arm, but I certainly enjoyed my youth.

If the goal is to be believable when you're acting, I've got the best idea of what that believability might look and feel like. And because you need a normal guy in a comedy so that the eccentricities can pop, that's a good part for me.

I think you get the parts that people are comfortable with seeing you play.

My sense of humor lies a little closer to the middle.

I can't assume that my kid is going to make the best decision all the time.

Our job as actors is to just try to be as accurate and as mindful of what the audience is going through and receiving and processing.

I wanted to marry somebody who wasn't someone I had to be in any particular mood to want to be around - with close friends, you can be with them no matter what mood you're in.
