I never really planned on doing a television series.
I need to get a wife. But it's hard, you know, it's hard to find a girl you can trust. Some of these girls, they want to go out with you so they can blog about you.
I do uphill skiing; I don't do downhill skiing. I think that's for nerd amateurs.
I don't live in a fancy neighborhood.
I sort of have to self-censor sometimes.
I am the greatest marital artist in the world.
I think I've proven with my career that I can play a wide variety of characters. Yet, I still get typecast as the crazy slob guy. That's how it always works.
Tina Fey is really cool. She's so mellow and laid back.
As a comedian, I think you need to keep things real.
Stand-up comedy is the most relaxing thing I do. If I want to unwind and de-stress, I go out and do stand-up, often several shows in a night.
In Manhattan, I often do two or three or more shows a night, so I'm always working on new material.
You jump on a bike and start peddling. You fall down and you get up again. I've always been a 'learn by doing' kind of guy.
I like hanging out at non-showbizzy places.
I don't consider lacrosse a sport. To me that's just a frat activity that got out of hand.
