I worked mostly in television drama for my first few years. I just kept guesting on NYPD Blues and CSI-like stuff, so when I started getting work in comedy, a lot of people in the business would say, 'Oh - I didn't know you did comedy.'

If you want to be happy in life, consider yourself a student. Every day of your life, think: how can I improve?

Really, all religious teachings can be boiled down to: “Just be cool. Don’t be an asshole.

When I was in fourth grade, we were learning vocabulary words, and the word nonconformist came up. The teacher said, "It's somebody who whatever everybody is doing, they do the opposite." I remember raising my hand and saying, "Mrs. Christiansen, I would like to be a nonconformist."

If I had to pick one form of acting, it would be live theater. That's where I started; that's where I became a man, I think I'm still finishing up that job.

Whenever I have a stubborn position on something, I take a deep breath and swallow myself.

Jobs that require a suit upset me. They displease me much, as our world is rife with such superficial conformity.
