I would like to do more dramas when I find a good role that will allow me to politely upset people's expectations of me as a comic actor.

When you have kids you want to be able to go to movies and take the family too, and actually all enjoy it together. I don't think there are that many great, live action family movies that everybody can enjoy.

Jim Carrey, a comic genius, has a harder time overcoming the public's desire for him to be funny simply because he's so good at it.

The big-name stars . . . are always going to be playing what they've played before if they want to remain so-called A-list stars. That's why someone like Johnny Depp is doing more interesting roles not caring about the size of the movie.

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

When I didn't have a family, I was much more of a workaholic. I still like to work, but I also want to be home with them. As you get older, you realize you need balance. If it's not fun, what's the point?

It's weird that people expect me to be funny. I find it a real burden when I'm expected to be humorous on talk shows.
