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

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 think it's kind of strange when people talk about how hyped-up the movie is. It almost sets you up for a bigger fall.

I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.

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.

I just like to act and write and produce. To me, making movies is the ultimate goal.

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