You don't often see fight scenes with people who have no idea how to fight.
I think when you do comedy, you play by a different set of rules. No one really wants you to be in that good shape. Being in good shape implies a level of vanity that isn't necessarily funny.
It is always exciting when you find someone who is really enthusiastic about being half of a comedy team.
My mom's a social worker, and my dad works in non-profit organisations.
I'm not the most romantic guy, although I do try.
I'm not the most in-tune guy with what is getting nominated and winning awards in general.
I'm not one of those actors where filmmakers that I admire ask me to be in their movies. I meet them at parties and they're nice to me, but they never ask me to work with them.
All my friends are talented enough to get nominated for awards. I just am always surprised when things and people I like are also liked by things like the Oscars.
It never seemed like that much of a mystery why shows I was acted in failed. When you're doing a show called Freaks And Geeks about young people in high school, and it's on Saturday nights at 8 and there's no promotion for it, it's not really hard to guess why no one's watching it. And when you're doing a college goofball comedy that premières three weeks after Sept. 11, it's not that hard to piece together why that's not the most important thing on the radar.
Steve Wozniak literally one of the sweetest guys. And that was kind of the thing I had to reconcile: how do I try to do this guy's sweetness justice in some capacity when most of the things I'm doing in the movie are pretty confrontational, and pretty argumentative.
If you take a tube TV to a donation center, they won't accept it.
I'm very curious in regards to "The Hateful Eight" specifically about the blocking of the movie. Because in comedies, we don't block. We basically like have to position the actors' bodies in the way that is most conducive to filming both of them simultaneously.
If I were directing a movie, it would scare me.
I'm not entirely comfortable saying I'm an actor, because it seems like a very weird, almost dorky thing to say you are. I laugh after every take just out of the discomfort I feel that I'm even on film. It's an awkward thing for me to be doing. Once we get going, it's always fine, and as we're shooting, I'm never thinking about it. I'd say that all my time in front of the camera is equally uncomfortable for me.
