I love doing these scenes. I love that I'm the guy that went for it. I will do just about anything for the sake of a laugh, and I love that I got to take these big risks, and I love physical comedy, it's my favorite thing in the world to do.
The truth is that, after 30 years old, men still masturbate. There are still sexual problems that arise for guys.
Well, I'm proud to say American Pie was the kind of crazy, gross-out film that guys thought was the greatest.
Everywhere you turn, you see me in a movie, and I'm sorry. At this point, people must be saying, 'God, Biggs again? Can't we get away from this guy?'
I mean, you don't go into a game to lose but to win and when you don't, it's upsetting. But if you played well, then you should be happy.
I'm just glad I got to work with the likes of Spielberg.
We all had our reservations about possibly overdoing it but, you know, the script was great. Basically it stuck to the formula that worked for the first two movies, and for that reason I think this works as well.
This film is very heavy and intense at times, and I think in order to make it a well-rounded movie, you need someone to come in and deliver a little chuckle factor. To be able to come play and deliver was great fun, especially to do it in a completely new genre for me. You have to go to these funny places, but you can't overdo it.
I bought a mountain bike, and I started running. These are things I wanted to do in Jersey, but you know Jersey weather. So, the weight just came off.
But because it was able to balance that kind of humor with a sweet story and characters you really rooted for and also got across the girls' point of view, I've heard nothing but great things from younger and older females as well.
They've been eating it up, and it's great,
I love playing Jim. I love working with this cast and the opportunity to come back and work with them again was just way too appealing for me. Also, I think this is a great way to wrap up the franchise.
But then, I just decided to get off my lazy butt and take advantage of the L.A. weather.
But once I went for it, left my inhibitions aside and saw its eventual success, it made me much more comfortable and eager THIS time around to take it to a whole new level.
