I've always loved comedy and growing up it was the comedies that I really responded to. So I don't know how it turned out that once I started acting that I started getting a certain kind of role, that I never saw myself as growing up, so I really love when I get an opportunity to play a [comedian] role.

Every day's an adventure when I step out of my door. That's why I usually wear a hat and keep my head low.

It's always fun to get to do independent film because I believe that that's the life blood of film. It's about writers and directors who truly have their own vision, and that's hard.

I had a magic kit. I never really followed through on it, but I had my phase of wanting to do it, sure.

When I was a fireman I was in a lot of burning buildings. It was a great job, the only job I ever had that compares with the thrill of acting.

I like telling stories about people with problems. I can't really put it much simpler than that.

Bob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me.
