I wanted to be funny for people who didn't care about fashion at all, to just to kind of exist as a silly character.

It was a mixed blessing to have famous parents. It was tough to go to auditions and be bad, since I couldn't be anonymous.

I'm always willing to endure humiliation on behalf of my characters.

It's hard to maintain a sense of dignity in an audition. I have done so many auditions where I've put it out there and have been met with that kind of blank stare - "Great! Thanks! OK! Great work! Thanks for coming in!" At the door I'm thinking, 'What the hell am I doing with my life?'

I enjoy the work I do in comedies. It's a valid test of your creative abilities.

I don't think it's ever easy to be funny. I find it easy to amuse myself with a certain sort of cynical dark humor that tends toward the meaner side, like my character in Happy Gilmore. Those kinds of characters come easily to me.

Words can only hurt you if you try to read them. Don't play their game!
