When I was a little kid I loved the Marx brothers and discovered Monty Python when I was 10 or 11-years-old. I used to take a tape recorder and hold it up in front of the TV to record entire episodes to play over and over again, so that I could memorise it.

I like playing misfits, I like playing oddballs, I like playing characters with rough edges.

Some of the biggest movie stars in the world are essentially characters.

I was a total dork in high school.

A lot of actors are just like la la la - they're never really connected and then they're in the scene and then boom. They're looking you in the eyes and they're just really focused.

Dwight is a sad clown. You've seen those paintings of sad clown.

I think meditation helps greatly with creativity. If it's a pure expression of yourself no matter what it is or what medium, it's going to shine. It's going to resonate.
