You know the trouble with real life? There's no danger music.

The inner child runs rampant. They're just smaller, that's all.

Christmas was really where I started coming into my own as a performer because I did all this stuff on my own, all this performing on my own. When other kids were outside playing, I was in my room conjuring characters and impressions and things like that.

I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.

The only thing that has ever consumed me is love from time to time. Feeling like, 'What is it? How do I get it?'

It's nice to finally get scripts offered to me that aren't the ones Tom Hanks wipes his butt with.

I think projects find me. It's really interesting. Everything I've done, from "The Truman Show," the "Eternal Sunshine" to "Yes Man" and "Bruce Almighty," always come into my life at the perfect time.
