Everyone said to Vincent van Gogh, "You can't be a great painter, you only have one ear." And you know what he said? "I can't hear you".

Well, on a personal level, I would never want to take on a character who didn’t have some redeemable qualities. Even the worst of people, such as Michael Scott in The Office [Carell’s character in the US version of the Ricky Gervais sitcom], have some decent human qualities that you can latch onto.

I don't feel that I have to control every aspect of things that I appear in. You learn a lot performing someone else's writing.

Goalies almost never get credit for winning a game, but they always get blamed for losing a game.
