Hollywood Is An Illusion. These Intense Workplaces,

Somehow That Doesn't Feel Like A Natural Human Thing To Do, To Go To Those Dark Places, You Have To Kind Of Force Yourself To Do That. And Comedy, It's Like You're Excited To Get There In The Morning Every Day.

The Truth Is That Filmmaking Is Not Really An Actor's Medium; It's Really A Director's Medium, So All I Can Really Control Is The Character That I'm Playing. So I Try To Look For Characters That Are Interesting And Engaging And Different Than What I've Done Before And Hopefully It Becomes A Good Movie.

It's Thought Of As An Eccentric Thing For An Actor To Really Try To Maintain Quality Control Through The Whole Career. Most People Think, 'you Just Work. You Just Keep Working.' And In Some Ways I Wish I Could Be A Guy Who's Just A Workhorse.

Here's The Thing, With Comedy - And I Learned This From Will Ferrell - You Can't Be Ashamed. If You're Doing Comedy, You Have To Fully Commit To The Joke. Shame Is Not Part Of It. If You Act Shy Or Uncomfortable About Your Body, That Makes The Audience Shy And Uncomfortable. And In A Comedy You Just Want Them To Loosen Up And Laugh.

I Was A Solid C Student Because I Was Doing So Many Plays. I Was A Drama Nerd, But I Was Also Kind Of A Zelig-like Character; I Would Shift Between Different Groups Of People. But The People I Spent Most Of My Time With Were Either Chorus Or Swing Choir Or The Drama Nerds.
