When someone who is known as a comedic actor goes to drama, it often doesn't work out, because they really just chose wrong, I think - or maybe they're just not good actors. For me it's important making that transition seamless, and not a huge shock and jumping into cold water. It doesn't feel like I'm trying to shock you or anything. I'm just saying, "I'm a different actor than you thought I was. Don't put me in a box. I'm not just some kid running around screaming curse words." I have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy, but I love dramatic movies just as much.

In the comedies I've been lucky enough to be a part of a world like Judd Apatow's, where I believe comedy comes from real people.

The drama thing was something I've always wanted to do, but the opportunities are rare, and they have to be the right ones.

I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.

I am a filmmaker fanatic. I have never been star-struck by an actor once in my entire life.

I like when you can have a conversation with people and it's not just stock questions.

I believe in collaboration. I think that is the most entertaining and effective way to write for me, personally.
