I thought, "I don't want to be the only unfunny guy in this movie. I really would like to be somehow involved in the comedy if I'm going to do it."

When I was in school, in eighth grade, someone recognized something in me. She was an English teacher, and we read a play out loud in class, and she asked me to read one of the roles. I'd never done anything like that before, but something just lit up.

A lot of the things I've enjoyed the most and that I think have been the best are ensembles.

I wouldn't mind having another shot at doing comedy, but I'm not sure that's the way I'd want to go.

I don't care about the money. I just need, as an actor, to do as many different things that I can to make me feel good about myself.

I'd never done any film or television. Well, I'd done one little stupid commercial in Boston when I was doing theater, but that was it.

I didn't want to do television at all. I really didn't want to do it. I really thought I was just going to be doing theater and doing movies.
