I learned a lot, in terms of inspiring people. It became very clear to me, very early on, that directing a movie was a lot like being in a theater company.

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.

The stage is a training ground and it's where you learn what's funny and what's successful.

I'm not a broad comedy guy. I've been funny in movies, but I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who's sometimes funny.

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.

Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.

Charlie Brown's good. I always had a little crush on that Lucy. I thought she was kind of a hot little brunette.
