I Like Working. I Wish I Could Say I Made A Deliberate Choice To Comedy, But It's Just What Came My Way. It's What The Studios Wanted To Make. Some Of My Friends Were Doing It, Like Will Ferrell And Adam Mckay, And They Offered Me 'talladega Nights.' It's Just Nice Work If You Can Get It. It's A Joyful Day At Work, Making Your Friends Laugh.

To Me, It Doesn't Make Any Sense To Pick Your Work Based On The Size Of The Budget Of The Movie.

Movies Are This Thing That Came Into My Life, And It Still Feels Pretend In Some Way. I Kind Of Do This Thing, And I Never Really Accepted This Idea That I'm A Film Actor. That's What I Do. I Feel Like I'm A Theater Actor That Started Doing Films. Most People Have Never Seen Me In A Play. They're Fun, Though.

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'm A Big Fan Of The 'harry Potter' Movies And 'the Lord Of The Rings' Films.

Harry Potter Movie

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."
