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

I think there's nothing more wonderful than using fiction to reflect real-world cultural ideas.

My feeling is... when you show up to a movie set where there's, like, 50 people standing around and months of preparation gone into it, you want to be as prepared as possible, so you should make a million baguettes. That might not actually help in any explicit way, but it'll make you feel more prepared.

Depression, if it's an unconsciously elected experience, is a luxury.

In 'Zombieland,' it was such a freewheeling plot it almost didn't matter what the characters were doing scene to scene as long as there was a consistent banter.

The joy of acting for me is to be able to experience emotions in a safe environment. You can't scream and cry in the street because everybody will look. If you do it on a movie set, you get applauded.

I'm not into music - the only music I like is musical theater, but I have every Ween album.
