I've hung out in the writer's room a few times, but the fact is we've got such a good writing staff, I don't want to get my peanut butter fingerprints on anything.

If the victories we create in our heads were let loose on reality, the world we know would drown in blazing happiness.

I love the beginning of Magnolia, the thing about the dealer. That scene is genius. Brilliantly acted.

Meal isn't over when I'm full. Meal's over when I hate myself.

Knowing comedy is knowing human nature.

The truly great actors, like Charlize Theron, are just like, "I'm an actor. For hire. I show up, I do my job." There's no "I'm just waiting for the inspiration." They just do their jobs. They say, "Let's go over the scene a few times and get it."

I'm going to continue to try to strike a balance, because I really, really do love doing stand-up, and I don't see why it should affect the acting. And again, I'm not going, "I've got to become a dramatic actor now." I just want more interesting jobs. I just want to keep doing stuff that's different.
