If I could act in theater, my whole life, and never act in film or television again, and just direct the rest of my life, I would gladly do that.

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.

To me, the punk rock kids I grew up with were really, really smart, and to me, respecting those kids was a really big deal.

Nothing would make my kids happier than to do another movie.

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.

Now, more then ever, we have the ability to make films for almost nothing and that's broken down all barriers of entry. I think it's a new golden age of film-making. With that, there needs to be the ability to recoup investment dollars, people need to make money.

Being onstage is like being rock star. Whereas if you're doing a movie, it's such a confined space. You know, you do a comedy, it's so hard, too, 'cause with a comedy, there's no vocal reaction, there's no energy that you get back that spurs you on to be funnier because everyone has to be quiet.
