I’m not good with pickup lines or flirting. I don’t have that kind of self-confidence or natural charisma.

This year, more people will use cocaine than will read a book to their children.

I have no idea where my pathetic nature comes from. If I thought about it too long, it would depress me.

Different things just strike people differently. And it's so subjective, too. Because what makes one person laugh won't make others laugh. I guess it's kind of checkerboarded.

It's nice to find people who live on the fringe, finding one another and she's just unrelentingly funny.

Is there a God? If not, what are all these churches for? And who is Jesus' dad?

[And on going from character to leading actor] I don't approach anything differently; I just approach it as a character. I'm always astounded at the fact that I've ever played a leading character in anything [Laughs]. And my wife concurs with that, frankly. She always thought I would be, at best, the wacky neighbor on a sitcom, so this is all just a surprise and a joy.
