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

I'm very, very attracted to morally ambiguous characters, not just pure bad guys or pure good guys.

Writing is as big a part of my career as acting is, financially and time wise. So, yeah, I love it. That's all I wanted to do since I was young was be a writer. So that and acting are the two most important aspects of my career.

Once you make a movie like 'Superbad,' when it's popular and you're the lead, you get offered all kinds of things and there's a temptation to make bad movies either for the money or to maintain your relevance in pop culture.

Besides the fact that I make movies, there's nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.

I realized I never played a character that was skilled at anything, or skilled at anything that I couldn't become skilled at.

I couldn't imagine someone playing me or writing a book about who I am. Although I let people write articles and try and express who I am, and it blows up wildly in my face.
