A lot of people say, 'What's the worst part about being an actor?' And the worst part is that you're not a musician.

There are so many really good comedians, and I would never be as good as they are. It's not my calling.

Who knows what critics are thinking? I know that you make more of a name for yourself, make more of an interesting review, if you're kind of mean-spirited.

There's something great about the idea of working the land and living communally. That's healthy. That's good.

I think I used comedy as a mechanism: if I could make the other kids laugh, I wouldn't get beaten up or teased as much.

In eighth grade, I wore a tie to school every day. I didn't own jeans. But it wasn't a granola thing, it was really more of an INXS thing.

I used to ask my mom to try and shave my head on the sides to give me a receding hairline because Adam Ant had one.

You can make a lot of mistakes with hair because it grows back.

I'd like to do something dramatic or a different kind of role, but I tend not to separate comedy and drama all that much.

I would say, up until 'Anchorman,' I wasn't any kind of household name or anything, but I wasn't necessarily identified as much with being a comedian.

I am so appreciative I have been able to continue not only doing something I love, but working on movies I've loved.

I always try and hold to that saying, 'I want to work on things I'd want to see.' The vast majority, that's been true.

I don't have an agenda where I do a comedy and say, 'I have to do a drama next,' or 'I am looking for an action movie now.'

I've been friends with Elizabeth Banks since 'Wet Hot American Summer.'

I laugh much more during takes than I do during real life. Maybe because you're not supposed to. I've ruined many takes because I will lose it.

People have all different kinds of marriages. Whatever works for you.

I think most marriages, mine included, you're constantly tending the garden, constantly working at it.

I know a lot about the Titanic. My dad was a Titanic expert.

'Anchorman' was never supposed to be a popular, like, hit movie. That movie was a cheap movie - it felt like we were working on a weird independent comedy in a way.

I think there's something kind of good about growing up in a place you know is not the cool place to be. I think it's good for your head.

Tea has always been a big thing in my life. And I'm not talking about Liptons with lemon or iced tea, or any of that nonsense. Has to be hot PG Tips with milk.

There's a lot of people I would be more than a little overwhelmed by and thrilled to work with.

Growing up, I was certainly drawn to comedy, but my goal was just to be as well-rounded an actor as possible. I really liked Daniel Day-Lewis, and I thought, 'Oh, he's a good guy to try and emulate.'

When I was in my early twenties, I used to grow all sorts of very weird beards. All of them awful in retrospect. I had Civil War beards for a while, then Mennonite beards.

I wasn't one of those kids who was like, 'I want to be an actor.' It wasn't in my wheelhouse at all. I wasn't from a family that did this or in a place where people did this.

I love straight guys that seem gay. I'm a little like that.

I have trouble with long-term things. I tend to get obsessed with stuff and then move on. Roles, songs, video games. That's why I was afraid of marriage. Because it was like a lifelong game of 'Madden.'

Sometimes I think I'm funny. But then sometimes I see myself, and I think, 'There's somebody trying to be funny.'

Fear is what makes comedy funny.

If someone made fun of me, I'd be bummed out. But I'd play it like I thought it was hilarious.

Willie Nelson is the perfect person, it seems to me, to think about. Because something tells me that he operates on his own frequency.

My parents were married my whole life until my father passed away a few years ago.

Nothing is ever cut-and-dried. There's anguish behind everything.

I'm sure that my wanting to be an actor had to do with a need for approval.

At my core, I'm a Midwesterner.

I don't consider myself a comedian because I don't really concern myself too much with jokes.

I can, and do, walk the street. No one bothers me or anything, because most people wouldn't know who I am.

Theater is the most enriching and thrilling thing to do as an actor.

There's a very specific thing you can do to get in magazines. I'm much happier to just show up and do the job. I haven't taken the active approach to making myself a star. I haven't been in a blockbuster.

Whatever I'm working on, the character I'm playing tends to slowly bleed into my own real life. Not in any kind of creepy, Method actor-y kind of way - it's just an innate kind of merging.

It's not often that you get to play somebody that has absolutely no cynicism or is not judgmental in any way.

Humor is the most important thing in life. It trumps everything else, and it's the only thing that helps me deal with everything else.

To me, some of the funniest movies would be probably categorized in the dramatic genre, and likewise, some of the most dramatic films, or films that have the most dramatic moments, are in comedies.

I can talk about sports and stuff, but I have a season pass for 'Antiques Roadshow' on my TiVo.

I went through a phase where I thought it was really funny to make pratfalls in very crowded places. I jumped out of a moving car once, for a laugh. That was a mistake.

I'm a huge David Wain fan. He's one of my best friends now, but he just makes me laugh continually, much to the annoyance of his wife.

I do like the idea that tomorrow I might find out that I'm going to be doing something that is completely unknowable today. I think it forces you to live in the moment in a very good way.

Anybody that's going on a road trip and doesn't really want to get into a myriad of snacks is probably no one you want to get in the car with.

I think there's something great and generic about goldfish. They're everybody's first pet.

All I really wanted to be was a working actor.
