I don't think I'm kind of universally known. I think in the indie world I'm probably better known than in some mainstream Hollywood terms.

The tabloids operate in an amoral parallel universe where the bottom line is selling newspapers.

I'm just a good Catholic boy - I do naughty things and feel guilty about them.

When you see a crowd of people jumping up and down at a pop concert, all gloriously in the moment, I don't think you'll ever see a comedian there. They'll all be standing at the sides, looking at how it all fits together.

If you're driving your car and someone winds the window down and gives you the finger and calls you an asshole, instead of giving him the finger back and calling him an asshole back, you just pull a funny face, and he doesn't know how to react to that, because you're using different rules.

Comedy is unique in the sense that laughter is a palpable noise that everyone makes.

To me, most theatre looks ridiculous. I find it very difficult to do. Personally, if I ever try to do serious stuff, I always end up looking like an asshole, so I might as well try and do comedy, because I'm good at that.
