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?'

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

I love my wife dearly, and, therefore, I've never cooked a meal, romantic or otherwise, for her.

Is it true that if you don’t USE it you LOSE it?

How did I end up in films with people like Keira Knightley... all these beautiful leading ladies and me - it's kind of shocking.

From cheesecake on a stick to meat skewers to deep-fried bananas on a stick - there are no plates anymore. In Los Angeles, everything has become a corn dog. Actually, corn dogs still work. But most other food should be stickless.

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.
