I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.

All the roles I play, I don't see any of my roles in films that they're typically leading men.

Anything you write, even if you have to start over, is valuable. I let the story write itself through the characters.

I think all comics borrow from each other. Only a few have an original voice, and I wasn't one of them. In the end, I couldn't figure out who to steal from, so I stopped doing it.

I like character-driven stuff. It doesn't matter, the size of the part.

The director I had most involvement with was Alex Rockwell. He gave me a lot of responsibility as an actor.

Whenever you do something that is in a continuous take, and something that we're not used to doing, because it was all in the details of if you don't make one move seem natural it can give away all of it.
