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.

What I didn't realize is that the writing process for comedies is that you do your table read, and if you aren't funny on that first day during the table read, they take your jokes away and give them to somebody else.

In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.

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.

You get to the middle of a take that's going really well and the camera will run out of film. They have to stop you, apologize and then you've got to get things going all over again.

I think that's really risky to make yourself unsexy, because the business demands that women be sexy.

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."
