I was the kid who liked making other people laugh, so maybe the comedy came before the acting.

I'm a massive scaredy cat. I'm scared of being in a fast car, I'm scared of being on a rollercoaster, I would never go skiing, I would never do anything that had the possibility of endangering my life in any way. I should get some therapy, really.

There are lots of actors, and you need a way to stand out. Writing comedy sketches was a way of doing that.

The thing is, I love a celebrity interview. Doesn't matter how big or how small. It could be Hillary Clinton or the guy who made it to the third round of 'Popstars,' I'll read it.

Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.

You've only got a short shelf-life as an actor, and I want to make the most of it while I can.

It kind of depresses me when people decide to move away. I get it, you want your kids to have somewhere to roam free or to recreate whatever your sort of childhood ideal was, but my kids are grand. I love LA because lifestyle wise, it's near the beach and mountains and it is great for kids but then it's a city built on an industry that, at the end of the day, is kind of facile.
