I've certainly worked with really great directors who haven't acted.

By nature, I think I am a pretty private person, and that is what is hard even doing interviews for films that I really love doing, because in some ways, it diminishes the experience that I had.

I talked with Quentin about where the character came from, and he told me Kansas City. I don't know how somebody talks from Kansas City, so I made him from New York.

I didn't really like the aloneness of doing stand-up.

I have a dresser, who literally is a guy who makes sure the tie is right. It's a little bit of a process. I could probably do it by myself, but it would take me three times as long.

I could never have imagined the films I've done and the people I've worked with when I was starting out; I certainly did not have a career path.

My greatest hope was to get discovered as a comedian and get on a sitcom.
