Even now if I see someone working out, in great shape, like a 40-year-old guy with his shirt off jogging I always think, "Look at that idiot." That's why everyone in my movie is kind of goofy because I'm a champion of the goofball. What sucks is I have to work out now not to die. I was always happy not working out because I never wanted to be someone who worked out to look good, but now I have to try to not die, which is such a drag.

Most comedians weren't great athletes; that was the way they got noticed in high school.

I think that everything I do tends to root for the underdog.

For a long time, TV was just the land of handsome, beautiful people, and now it's the opposite.

And I like the passion that people have when they're trying to prove they can make a movie or be a movie star.

I think Jim [Carrey], in the best possible way, thought, "I need to do different things to establish to the audience that I'm not going to do the same thing every time."

If you develop 10 things, and you can get two or three made, that's a very high ration.
