I didn't really want to be an actor when I was growing up - I wanted to be whatever I was reading about or seeing at the time. When I read The Firm I wanted to be a lawyer; when I saw Top Gun, I wanted to be a fighter pilot. So that's why acting probably turned out to be a good thing for me because I get to be people for five minutes or 90 minutes. I'd be curious to see if I had the attention span to be like those guys on 30 Rock and play the same character season after season.

I haven't really had too many bosses. Any bad boss I had probably was because I was a bad employee.

I am now The Establishment. There's nothing I can do about it.

I think people who live in the worlds that movies are based on end up disliking them. Unless they're from a different time and era.

I've never been a shirt-off, pants-off kind of comedy guy.

When somebody listens and laughs, you're always in better shape than when you're with those folks who just kind of look at you when you say something funny. You wonder if they're looking at you because they're mad that they didn't say it or something. It's hard to handle that.

It's the journey, not the destination. I truly believe that.
