The way I look at it, everything is a trade. You acquire some money, so then you've got no financial burdens, but everyone wants your money and so who can you trust? Or you've got no money and you can trust anyone, but then you've got the worry to pay bills. Which is worse?

You can't be funny if you don't have good material.

Everyone in my family used to work with some kind of tool in their hands every day. That's what we do. That's what I did before I got into acting.

Having kids has been great for me. I have two beautiful step- kids, as well as my own new daughter. They've really helped me to keep my feet firmly on the ground, and life is good. I feel like I'm the luckiest guy here.

I don't like producing. It's a lot of meetings you sit through that amount to nothing.

My favorite character on Friends was Joey, because we're both actors. I always thought that was so cool.

People call me Joey all the time. I take it as a compliment. There's no point in correcting them. But I'm much more even-keeled and subdued and relaxed than Joey Tribbiani.
