I'd love to do Broadway some day. Before I started doing television I was just a primarily a stage actor, but I haven't done it in a while.
For my wife and I, the challenge is to not make every day the best day possible because it's not realistic.
I'm not unattractive, but I'm not a matinee idol. I think I have a very non-threatening look - I'm fine, I'm right in the middle.
I've always enjoyed watching characters that aren't aware that they're doing anything funny. And I think that inherently makes them funnier.
It's interesting when you're trying to create a character in animation. It's really a communal effort.
I am happily married, and I think I was lucky that success came a little later in my life. It's difficult to handle all the attention when you are a young gun.
Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.
I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious.
In my wildest dreams i never thought- well, I never thought I'd work
It's harder when people are playing along, because it's just not as funny. They're trying to be funny, and it sort of cancels out the whole joke.
Whenever I'm offered something, I always read the script and meet the director. I still appreciate just being considered.
You know, what's funny to one person is not at all to someone else.
You're so in love with your children that you'd do anything for them; that's not necessarily the best thing.
I think there's a little bit of idiot in everybody and I think some people cover it better than others but I think I am very much a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve.
