Some actors pride themselves on disappearing into a role. I'm into the game because I like experiencing and exploring themes, so I put a lot of myself into the person.

If I'm in a bar and I gotta be sitting next to some clown who's like, "It's my tune," I don't want to hear you belt out Bruce Springsteen. That's why we have jukeboxes! Let's let Bruce be Bruce.

Everybody has their different tastes with television - there are some characters people like, some characters people hate.

My day job is acting - I wouldn't direct something if I didn't feel passionate about it.

In L.A., if you're in improv, and you're on those stages, all the big agents and managers and producers are watching those shows. They're not flying to Chicago to see the show. People are booking jobs off the stages in L.A. who aren't more talented than the guys in Chicago. But the most guys book out of L.A., and the second is New York.

I would want to go to the future, 25 years in the future, and see if the Cubs ever win a World Series.

When somebody is doing something really funny, in real life and as a performer, my instinct is to join them.
