I like playing really super-intense, live-in-the-moment characters. It asks me to not phone it in. It's impossible to phone it in. Every American boy has spent his childhood pretending to get shot.

The first year or so on The Daily Show is pretty intense in terms of travel. You're going to the worst places in the country, talking to the craziest people in the world.

I don't know how this company got the name National Shakespeare Company, because it was literally like retards employing retards.

I didn't really feel 100 percent comfortable until we started working on the 2004 election.

I actually got the part. And I thought, Well, I'll do it for a while. I'll just quit if it's stupid.

I've got like a week and a half left, all bets are off.

Anything would deserve a sequel if the right elements are there.
