I always had a lot of confidence in my work and the unique flavor I like to bring to my characters, but you know I'm not a huge dreamer.

I think all these great comforts that come from the human condition of trying to make things easier on ourselves also have these pitfalls, where things become so easy that we forget how enjoyable building a fence can be.

Before people figured out I was funny, I got cast quite a bit as either a rapist or serial killer or the guy who catches those people.

When I was in high school, I would perform every year in those plays and there was something I really loved about it. But I was completely unaware that you could sort of get into an acting career.

When we think of an actor, we think of a tanned, frosted-tipped, model-looking guy. We don't think of a plumber.

The key, I would say to any fledgling humorist starting out, is to make sure that sloppiness is part of your recipe. That way they come to expect fumbling and clumsiness and they say, "Oh, it must be a charming part of his personality."

I spent a lot of my youth working outside in the elements, and I kind of revel in defeating tough weather.
