Sometimes a person has to be dead a while before people can appreciate what they did when they were alive.

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.

I like people who try to do big things.

There's something about the way of playing a repellent character, that if you can play him with a certain amount of charm, you can get away with a lot.

As an actor I'm part of a long line of character people you can take back to the silent movies. There's always the little guy who's the sidekick to the tall, good-looking guy who gets the girl. People tend to not think of themselves as Tom Cruise or Bruce Willis. The leading man is something that they might like to be, but they aren't. The sidekick is somebody that they feel a little closer to, because the sidekick has the same human failings that they do.

You can do gross-out until the cows come home but if there isn't something to balance it, then it's not going to work at all.

I owe a great deal to Revenge Of The Nerds movie and I loved making it. But I've said this a lot: My character is as far from me as it's possible to be. People feel like they know who he is, and when they see me they just assume that I'm going to be like that guy. For me, to be that kind of anti-social misfit was something that I found to be a real challenge.
