I felt like a fighter who was training for a title bout that had not been booked yet.

I'm not 40 yet. I wouldn't even bother comparing myself to Chaplin.

Do I want to be a hero to my son? No. I would like to be a very real human being. That's hard enough.

I've always felt that if you're not on your side, why should anyone else be. So I always encourage people to be confident, and sometime even a little falsely so, just so you can give yourself an opportunity.

I saw School of Rock, and I was like, why haven't I worked with Richard Linklater already? Then by the time I got him I was like, I'm really pissed off I feel like you owe me some retroactive swag. He gave me the 10-year anniversary "Dazed and Confused" T-shirt, which I still wear with relish.

You can't go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary, and really understand it, and come out a liberal.

You know, when you're part of a comedic duo, you can take breaks. It's kind of like having a partner that is good with a kid.
