Anytime where you're challenged, physically or mentally, you rise to the occasion in different ways.

With drama, you need to be laughing, in between takes, 'cause you're going to those recesses of your soul and those dangerous parts. Normally, if you're not an actor or some crazy artist, you don't feel the need to run around in those areas. You keep them separate because it's painful.

I had to battle it out with all the usual suspects and whatnot and go to the callback. I was lucky that (writer-director) John (Levine) and I were sort of these two white-boy hip-hop-heads from New York. I think that alone got me in the door.

Inherently, making a movie is tough because there's so much anticipation when it happens - even if everything goes well.

It doesn't matter what you look like really though, it is who you are that matters of course.

To me, there's nothing greater than making people laugh.

Acting's not therapy, but it can be therapeutic.
