I came out here to do the acting, and then after a year of auditions and not getting anything, I met these Italian guys and they asked me to write lyrics for them. Then they said, "Why don't you just front the band?" I said, "Well, maybe because I can't sing. I've never sang before in my life."

I like when you watch a film and you feel like you're a part of somebody's life for an hour and a half.

A perfect schedule is to be able to do something dark and then go into something lighter to ease up a little bit.

My only requirement for life is that I don't get stuck in a rut.

I would love to interview Dave Grohl. I just think he's an amazing musician, and I grew up listening to Nirvana, so I have so many questions about that.

It's definitely been a conscious decision to seek out roles that are different, in any way, from anything that I've done, just to prove to myself that I can do it and to challenge myself. If I can, then great, it will open up those doors and just prove to other directors and peers that I am, in fact, available for things other than comedy.

I never was shy, but as far as telling jokes, I'm the worst. I like physical comedy; it's where I feel comfortable.
