If somebody takes the parking place you were waiting for, I tend to kind of let it roll off my back. Maybe I'm harboring a lot of something and it will all explode somewhere down the road, but I tend to just let it slide off my back.
How did I end up in films with people like Keira Knightley... all these beautiful leading ladies and me - it's kind of shocking.
What kind of person would have a real craving for gummy worms?
I don't like to get angry. It doesn't make me feel good. It is very human, but it's also a loss of control, and I like to have that kind of control.
The BBC show is iconic, and you can't set that as a goal. All we tried to do was make a funny show based on the template, which is hilarious. And that was really our only goal.
It's really a comedy about all these people who are looking for the loves of their lives, and struggling to find happiness during this pursuit,

Evan Almighty' is sort of a continuation of that ('Bruce Almighty') story. My character is the same guy I played in 'Bruce Almighty,' and as it is now, I am elected to Congress. God visits me while I'm a congressman, and it unfolds from there.
I'm not a crazy Vegas guy. I'm not a gambler.
The very first thing we talked about was tone,
Once you have all those emotional aspects in line and you're in sync with the other person, then you find out what it really is and how great it can be, ... putting the cart before the horse, and you can probably make a pun out of that, as well.
