I was a halfback on an American football team in Athens, Greece - the Kississia Colts - where I went to high school, and we took the Cup my senior year. The downside, and somewhat unfortunate piece of information I have to pass on, is there were only two teams in the league because of the limited amount of Americans.

'Little Miss Sunshine' was one of those small movies that you don't hold out huge hope for. It's usually found in small pockets. But, it ended up getting a real following and worked out pretty well.

I really don't make a concerted effort to try to find a type of role.

I'm happy to report that everybody whose face I've wanted to punch on Earth has already been punched.

Whenever Hollywood gets involved with real life events, certain liberties have to be taken.

I had interest in acting. I started as a drama major in college. I got to school and said, "What am I going to do with this?" But I didn't know anybody in the business, and it seemed like - I don't know. I had a teacher who said "Less than 1 percent of you will ever make a living being an actor." That was how we opened the semester.

I was always explaining why my term papers were never on time. I think that's where I got my acting training!
