Whatever talent I had, I'm sure it helped that my parents were in the business and that I grew up around actors, comedians and directors.

The failure of The Cable Guy impacted my career. I had to start writing and acting again.

I have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener.

People like to define you through what they've seen you do. There are aspects of my personality, I guess, that come through on-screen, but I don't sit around thinking, 'I've been a bumbling suitor all my life.'

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

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.

Very quickly after meeting Dustin, the whole image I had of him was shattered.
