A whole generation was raised to learn about comedy from The Simpsons. To get to be in a booth with Homer and Marge and be in Springfield - it was unimaginable the emotions that I felt.

I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, "People will LOVE the ninja version of that."

'Funny People' is my favorite performance of myself to date. Even though it's a comedy and there are serious moments, I really felt like Leo felt like a real person. It didn't feel like I was playing myself. Whether it's a comedy or drama, I just try to make it as realistic as possible.

I like playing characters that, you know, a couple could go see the movie and one person could love him and one person could hate him.

I was thin in high school and then I gained weight. I went to a nutritionist. I learned for the first time about what things are healthy to eat, basically.

Albert Brooks is definitely one of my biggest influences, for sure.
