I Considered A Lot Of Different Jobs

Whatever The Reasons That I Turn Things Down, I'm Always Happy When There's A Good Result, And I Can Enjoy It As A Movie, You Know? I Don't Feel Like, 'oh Man, That Was Really Good. I Should Have Done It.' You Have To Make The Decisions You Have To Make, Whether It Has To Do With Your Family Or Repeating A Character Or Whatever It Is.

Being A Father Has Fulfilled Me In Parts Of My Life That Sustain Me. It Gives Me A Comfort And Patience. All Actors Have This Hole Inside That They're Trying To Fill By Performing. I'm Anxious To Keep Creating, But I'm Not So Desperate Any More Because I Have The Love And Support Of My Kids And Wife.

I'm Much More Character Based. I Try To Just Be Really Committed To What I'm Doing.

Kind Of The Exhausting Thing About Doing Pure Comedy, Or Something That's Broader, Is You're Kind Of A Slave To The Laugh. If It's Not Funny, Then There's Not Much Point In Doing It. The Kind Of über-objective Is To Make People Laugh. You Always Have To Have That In The Back Of Your Mind, "eh, I've Got To Figure Out A Way To Make This Funny."

I End Up Improvising In Almost Everything To Some Degree, 'cause It's Often Necessary On Movies. The Script Is One Thing, And It's This Kind Of Theory Of What You're Going To Do, And Then You Get There On The Day And You Realize, "oh, The Script Is Not Appropriate To This Room, The Door's Over Here."
