When 'American Pie' happened, I was so lucky to get that opportunity and I just tried to do a good job in that genre. But the films that inspired me as a kid were, like, Malcolm McDowall in 'A Clockwork Orange.' He was my hero.

Ever since the first 'American Pie,' I've always been happy to just have an opportunity, I just didn't think it was going to be with comedies. Now I really like it.

I don't generally do movies that get good reviews.

I've definitely been typecast, but I have time to do other things and I was glad to have the chances I did.

Anyone serious about playing indoor, you should play outdoor.

In L.A. everyone is in the entertainment industry, so you're forced to think about work.

I grew up in Minnesota.
