I had great difficulty in school interacting with others, and I took refuge in the contrived setting of play acting, which is what I still do.

[As an actor] you're looking to crawl into an anonymous fictional person's skin, but then you have the ironic obligation to promoting the movie in such a public way that it almost undermines the initial intention of going under the radar.

I guess the more serious you play something, if the context is funny, then it will be funny and it doesn't really require you to be necessarily, explicitly humorous, or silly.

First rule of magic? Always be the smartest guy in the room.

As an actor, you have to be open to doing things where you look stupid, to be experimental.

I feel very guilty doing magic because you're deceiving somebody.
