I let the comedy come through the character and just try to make sure that everything is kind of rounded in a truth, in a reality, because that’s what I need to make a character work.

We went through all the scenes and they became kind of funny and they expanded a little bit and because it seemed to be working so well in the movie, they added a couple of things later on in the movie and that’s how it turned out.

I would love to work with Sir Anthony Hopkins. How and why that would happen in a comedy I’m not sure – why he would be dragged over to my side, or I’d be be dragged over to his side.

I don’t believe I’ve ever played a hip dude. I don’t think I would have the wherewithal to do that.

One of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I’m a comedian, which I’m not. A comedian is someone who can stand up in front of an audience and make you laugh. I’ve never done stand-up and I never will. I’m a comic actor. My comedy comes through my characters.

I’m not a comedian. I don’t do stand-up. I don’t tell jokes. I’m a comedic actor, and approach my work that way. The comedy comes through the character.

I’m not a joke guy; I’m not a stand-up comic.

I like to have a regimen. I don’t like to be fancy free.

I can’t do comedy that is cutting and vicious. If I knew I’d said something that was going to make someone feel bad, well, that supersedes everything.

But I’ve never really done anything that implies any kind of danger. I wouldn’t skydive, I wouldn’t deep sea dive, I wouldn’t parachute. I think you’re really just rolling the dice. Who packed your chute the night before?
