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.

When I was growing up, my parents asked me what I wanted to do, and I said that I wanted to live in Springfield. They were like, "Well, that's not how it works. There is an actor who play Homer, and someone who writes what Homer says." So, I was like, "Well, I want to write what Homer says."

Maybe if you play somebody in a certain world people sometimes misinterpret that it's a support of that world or that occupation or something.

My heroes are Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman. Those are the two actors that both do comedies and dramas, seamlessly. Also John C. Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman. They're all just great actors, neither comedic nor dramatic. They're just great actors.

I have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy. I adore it, but I love dramatic movies just as much.

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.

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