I was a strange kid in that, while most kids hate school and want to turn 18 or 21, I loved high school.

Black, white, yellow, brown - we wanted somebody who would do right by us. And I think because Obama was that person, whether he was black or white, he was chosen

It's nice to be in a place where I can be a little more selective, and to be sought out for ideas that I have.

That's what I think works the best, and what I think makes the best comedy - something that's completely committed and more approached as an acting exercise, as opposed to being worried about whether to be funny or not. The comedy comes from the context.

Members of the Senate and House, if they want to send troops into war, should be forced to send a family member. That would really make everyone stop and go, 'Ohhh-kaaay.'

I don't really have aspirations to be Tom Hanks.

I know the nature of comedy, and you never know what will happen with the next movie or whether people will find it funny.
