I wasn't a class clown, I never developed this comedic flair as a kid. Even when I decided to become an actor, it was just to be an actor, not necessarily a comedic actor. I wasn't that guy who struck out with women so he became really funny, and that's when the women started to like him.

In my wildest dreams i never thought- well, I never thought I'd work

I joined an improv group in college, which was a lot of fun. After I graduated, I moved to Chicago to try to get into the Second City.

Actors and magicians are both performers and they represent things that are not necessarily who they are.

You never saw Peter Sellers the actor trying to make you laugh. All he was doing was the character. What I'm saying is that I don't think you should know you're in a movie. I don't like it when actors are winking at the audience and saying, 'Right, isn't this funny? Are you with me?'

For the better part of my adult life, I proudly avoided nerd/nimrod/goober status. I was always just cool enough.

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.
