I've always been a guy that doesn't do well waiting for people to say, "You can act." It's always been a part of me.

Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting.

Hollywood used to be run by artists and people who loved artists... people who wanted to make movies for all the right reasons. For the love. The Art. To tell stories. Yes to make money as well, but it was about both. Now I feel, it's mostly about bottom line and making money.

I always think that I'm the best thing in a lot of bad movies. Personally, I have to. I think that I like me as an actor.

When I was in high school, I was the guy directing plays after class. I started my first theater company at 19, and my second theater company at 21. I've always been a guy who doesn't do well with the passive nature of being an actor.

How much do you have to pay someone to be in a George Clooney/Alexander Payne film? NOTHING!! Because everyone in the world wants to be a part of it. Therefore you pay nothing. And that continues until you become something they need... I'm not that kind of actor. I'm blue collar and very replaceable.

I think everyone is given drama, by virtue of the fact that we all have drama in our lives, but not everyone can make people laugh.
