Nothing is set up like a comedy bit. I did sitcoms for 10 years. Literally from 1989 to 1999. That's almost all I did. Whenever I got away from television I was like, "Phew, thank God that's over. I am never going back."

I certainly was an actor and then I drifted more towards writing and directing.

I probably am. I think Paul Giamatti also said in an interview that I was "f--king crazy." I'm flattered by that. I want to be that guy who's nuts who makes people think.

I enjoy doing press for something that I like, and I think the movie is very fun and charming and clever.

I've been a writer longer than I've been an actor. I wrote short stories like crazy when I was in high school and college. I worked in advertising before I moved to L.A. to pursue acting.

As an actor I kind of do. I started out doing voice overs in the mid 80s when I was in grad school.
