I like [Count] Olaf's wardrobe, because the whole thing seems like it should be a period piece in many ways, and yet the date is non-specific. So I would wear cloaks and jackets, but also turtlenecks. I was a little beatnik, and kind of hipster in that way.

'Smurfs' just seemed like a great way to represent a young father to be, guy in a marriage, work in conflict, and I was really interested in the technical CG side of things. I'd never done a movie that I thought would be so physical and yet so precise. So I was intrigued by all of that.

Babies laughing is like opium.

I think things through a lot, so I probably use my head more than my heart. That probably comes through in my acting.

Playing a villain was fun, only because you get to do all the things you wouldn't normally do in your real life.

If I wrote a musical it wouldn't be about me. Although I do some magic, so it would probably be about a magician who appeared and re-appeared all over the place.

My favorite time to dance is at, like, wedding receptions, when it's all ages and everyone seems to be having fun.
