'Elf' has become this big holiday movie, and I remember running around the streets of New York in tights saying, 'This could be the last movie I ever make,' and I could never have predicted that it'd become such a popular film.

New York is a fun town to go out in. During my twenties and into my thirties I had a good time partying, yes. But nothing where I woke up and I thought that I had a problem.

You tend to get reluctant to talk about anything until the day before filming.

Molly Shannon and I used to always talk about that we really felt strongly that we were comedic actors, that we weren't comedians. You just played things real and the comedy came out of the context.

It's the fastest who get paid and it's the fastest who get laid.

A lot of the times you read something and you don't realize that you are going to have to do the things that you read.

I guess ultimately a lot of comedians just wanna be taken seriously.
