Yes, believe me I am black and blue. Plus I just finished a Seth MacFarlane movie called Ted and I can't believe the cast I got to work with there [Mila Kunis, Mark Wahlberg]. I feel like I am winning some kind of contest to trick people into working with me.

I used humor as survival, as a weapon and as comfort.

I love performing, and it allows me to be very discerning about what I choose next, thank god.

Follow what your head is telling you and work hard. That's the big secret.

It's important to have the right agent - people that are working hard for you. But an actor needs to be in control of their career no matter how good the representation is.

I've always been very opinionated, for lack of a better term, about art. Not to sound too arrogant, but I guess I'm a connoisseur of telling people what I think is good and bad.

I love the challenge of an entire year has gone by and how has that affected the character you're playing.
