It's so interesting to watch Ben Stiller work because he just knows what's funny.

I'm clearly not a writer, but I'm always a fan of them.

I'm just an actor. If it's drama, I add as much humour as the part will stand. And if it's a comedy, add as much drama as you can, so it balances out; you don't wanna be too serious.

Eddie Murphy is just so off-the-cuff and can make anything funny. You hope that someday you'll acquire that skill, but maybe you're born with that.

The joy of 'Crash' was that it was all about the work. It was my first real part. Before that, it was a line here and there, maybe a scene. 'Crash' was five scenes, a beautiful arc, a little vignette of my own. It really meant something.

I love documentaries and I watch documentaries to no end.

A good comic explores the imagination, but it's always got to have those notes of truth running through it.
