Most Boys' First Hero Is Their Father.

I Know I'm Not Some Matinee Idol, But I Think We're Sold This Bill Of Goods By The Media, Which Says That Only The Most Beautiful And Dashing People Can Become Movie Stars. So When Someone Like Me Sneaks In, They Have To Redo The Calculations.

From The First Time I Did A Movie, People Have Said, 'oh, It's All Going To Change Now.' And It Would Change, But Very Incrementally. I Think I Prefer That To Some Big Explosion Of Fame All Of The Sudden.

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.

Being Unprepared Makes Me Nervous. I'm Old-fashioned Show Folk.

An Actor's Life Is Like A Series Of - It's Like The First Day Of School Happening Over And Over Again.
