If I put down my tweeter machine for a minute, I actually can communicate with people. As an aside, astonishingly, I just started doing Twitter.

"I don't ever want to try to be a 'cute guy.' I want to be Charles Laughton, or Oliver Reed, or Lon Cheney. That's way more fun for me." And once I flipped that switch, that's another thing I've taken off my shoulders, where I never have to worry about, "Do I look good?"

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.

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

When I got to Los Angeles, I started building cabins in peoples’ yards, building post-and-beam structures and cutting the joinery for those.

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.

No one will ever ask me to sing because it's beautiful. My secret is hiding my musicianship behind humor.
