Actor

Seth Rogen told me to read 'Preacher,' and 'Preacher' was amazing.

I remember my seventh-grade chemistry teacher told me I'd never amount to anything. I thought, 'Hmm. OK.' That gave me motivation to prove her wrong.

I feel lucky. I feel blessed. If you get blessed with some ability, I think you have to work hard at it. Michael Jordan was a great basketball player, but he wasn't the best shooter, even though he had the skill, and he had to work and work at it.

There are not too many times when a movie's not cynical, you know what I mean?

My first ten years in Hollywood were really tough. I'd be coaching friends who came to me for acting advice, and then they'd make it before I did. I'd still be helping them while they were on movie sets and I had four lines on a TV show.

I wouldn't say I have comedy chops. I guess you get lucky with good writing because I don't think I'm a comedian by any stretch of the imagination.

I usually just try to do whatever's on the page because I've done research before - including a lot of analysis - but you end up with conflicting data. To me, the script is king.

Paul Rudd has a very specific brand of humor.

'Tower Heist?' That is a movie that it's hard not to name-drop, but, it's a crew of five, and it's Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, me, Matthew Broderick, and Casey Affleck. And we're like, on a heist.

I'm clearly not a writer, but I'm always a fan of them.

You can think you know somebody. But when they're trying to punch you in the face, you really know somebody. You learn their tendencies.

Actors love the big speeches and love to be the center of attention. I mean, that's why we do it.

Every time I said, 'Man, I'm doing CHiPs,' 100% of the time they would ask, 'Is Erik Estrada going to be in it?'

I think writing is the most underrated thing in Hollywood.

I just wanted to be a part of something that's a horror movie that scares you.

I've tested for I-don't-know-how-many pilots, and I didn't get any of them. I would always try to go off the top and make it as spontaneous as possible, but acting in sitcoms is such a skill set, and I didn't have it. I wish I did back when I was younger.

The reason I love Lollapalooza is because it's a great music festival.

I've always noticed that girls cry way easier than guys do.

I was in really good shape after I finished this movie, 'End of Watch.'

I'm living in Hollywood, and I'm making movies, but it goes beyond me. If my family is not doing very well, or even OK, you want them to be better.
