It's always better to shock people and change people's expectations than to give them exactly what they think you can do. It's not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore; I'm no longer the underdog in that world. Not that I'm great or good at it or anything, it's just that I've done a bunch of them, so you're not shocked.

If you're trying to make someone happy, you gotta try and make them happy. If you're trying to have a normal conversation, you've got to have a normal conversation. If you're trying to make them sad, you've got to make them sad. I think that's how you get real performances out of people.

As a writer, I haven't delved into dramatic writing. As an actor, I could always, even more so than comedy, do drama.

There are a lot of things going into making a movie. So many things can go wrong. So many people that need to show up and bring their "A" game. If one thing is out of place, the whole movie can fall apart.

If I ever over hear people saying I give off an 'Ed Harris type of sexy vibe.' I'll be pretty psyched.

I would never remake something that was like "The Godfather." Things that are truly important to me, I could never remake or reboot, or whatever.

I learn a lot from every director that I work with. I sit on set and watch them, every one.
