Being in TV is insane. The notes you get sometimes, I just don't understand them.
I've never been into just really silly stuff.
In the comedies I've been lucky enough to be a part of a world like Judd Apatow's, where I believe comedy comes from real people.
As a writer, I haven't delved into dramatic writing. As an actor, I could always, even more so than comedy, do drama.
I have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy. I adore it, but I love dramatic movies just as much.
I'm a different actor than you thought I was. Don't put me in a box. I'm not just some kid running around screaming curse words.
When someone who is known as a comedic actor goes to drama, it often doesn't work out, because they really just chose wrong, I think - or maybe they're just not good actors, I don't know.
The drama thing was something I've always wanted to do, but the opportunities are rare, and they have to be the right ones.
Luckily with animation, they give you a lot more leeway than a live-action show.
I realized I never played a character that was skilled at anything, or skilled at anything that I couldn't become skilled at.
I couldn't imagine someone playing me or writing a book about who I am. Although I let people write articles and try and express who I am, and it blows up wildly in my face.
I don't like to compare things to other things. It always sounds arrogant in print.
'Funny People' is my favorite performance of myself to date. Even though it's a comedy and there are serious moments, I really felt like Leo felt like a real person. It didn't feel like I was playing myself. Whether it's a comedy or drama, I just try to make it as realistic as possible.
If I ever over hear people saying I give off an 'Ed Harris type of sexy vibe.' I'll be pretty psyched.
