I think people will be curious to see what I can do as a dramatic actor.

First of all, the first cut of the movie was like three and a half hours and I walked away going, 'Wow, I know there's like twenty minutes that I can cut - ' when I first saw it 'But I don't know after that.' The first time I put up then in front of people I was like, 'Oh, my God, I can take that out and that out and that out.'

I don't have a burning desire to be taken seriously as an actor. I don't have a master plan in that way.

There's always an element of fear that you need to work a lot until people get sick and tired of you or finally figure out that you're a fraud after all!

I think this whole celebrity world is weird anyway. Weird and funny and kind of pathetic and yet so right for parody.

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.

I actually started working on Madagascar before my daughter was born.
