As Much As You Do Get Beat-up

One Of The Biggest Breaks We Had Actually, One Of The Biggest, The Hardest I Laughed On The Movie [the Hangover] Was The Baby Was Just Doing Ridiculous Things And Making Hilarious Faces. But I'm Sitting There And I'm Supposed To Be Having This Exchange With Zach [ Galifianakis] And The Baby Is Like Staring At Me With These Huge Eyes And Acting, And Just Making The Most Cerebral Faces, And I Could Not Keep It Together.

It's A Very Collaborative Environment [making The Office]. We Always Do Takes Of How It's Scripted, But Then We Also Mix It Up A Lot Too. And It's Kind Of A Crapshoot, You Never Know Which One... I Mean A Lot Of Time Improvisation Doesn't Go Anywhere And It's Not Good At All But, So What Was Written Is Often Times Better.

When We Were Not Shooting [the Hangover] We Were Sleeping, So Pretty Much Every Waking Moment We Spent Together. And, You Know, Bradley [cooper], Zach [galifianakis] And I Were Acquaintances Before The Movie Started But We Became Good Friends Very Quickly And Spent So Much Time Together That It Was Just Inevitable We Were Either Going To Really Hate Each Other Or Really Like Each Other. Thank God It Turned Out To Be The Latter.

We Played Around And Improvised A Ton [in The Hangover], And I Think It's Hard To Say At This Point What's What. Gosh, I Wouldn't Even Know How To Take A Stab At It. The Script Was So Good That We Really Didn't Need To Improvise Very Much, But I Think We Just Found A Lot Of Moments On The Set. It's Really Cool When You Get Onto The Set Of A Movie And You Start Shooting The Scenes And You Start To Actually Incorporate The Environment.

Improvisation Is About Finding The Best Joke Or The Silliest Way To Get Something Across. Improvising Conflict Is Always Fun Because You Can Just Go For It.
