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

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?'

Do not to be as shy around girls, because they're probably just as shy and just as scared as you are.

I've always enjoyed watching characters that aren't aware that they're doing anything funny. And I think that inherently makes them funnier.

Everyone is flawed and everyone makes mistakes and is culpable.

I don't think of myself as funny - I don't fill up a room with my humor... I would fail miserably as a stand-up comedian.

Steve Buscemi is hilarious. He's really, really good with improv.
