I went from being the shy weirdo to the class clown in a couple of years.

I was just a bit of a loner as a young boy. And very, very sensitive. Ever the emotional young thing.

I'm a military history buff.

I wasn't necessarily always funny, I don't know if I necessarily am - some would argue not - but I was definitely, always been a strange one. Definitely always an odd duck.

I want to work with Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, the Coen Brothers, or Spike Jonze.

There are lot of people I'd wanna work with, but Wes Anderson, I would just wanna sit down with the guy. If he would ever put me in one of his movies, that would be the end.

Over the years, I've had a slight ebbing and flowing of confidence in my non-comedic role abilities.

Sometimes, when comedians get success, they don't do as much weird stuff as they normally do.

At the end of the day, I want to play characters that interest me.

A lot of comedies, I think, make the wrong choice of having the straight man being this bland emotional conduit for the audience.
