When I first started looking at Twitter, I followed people like Steve Martin, who will just write the funniest non sequiturs now and then, which I thought was really fun. That's kind of the road I've taken. Every now and then, something comes into your mind and you put it out there. It's very innocuous. I think it's kind of fun.
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,
I had no idea it would be as painful as it was, ... It really stung.
I'm telling people that I lost it at 17, only because it sounds like a good age. I made a deal with my wife before the movie came out that I wouldn't say.
It was kind of like they were just giving us a toy to play with, to do whatever we wanted with.
So, at least the way I saw it, those first six episodes, we were very new as characters to this documentary crew, so we were more awkward with the crew ... And now that the crew has been there for a while, we're sort of getting used to them and playing to them and getting a little more confident in terms of how we use the camera.
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.
Ah, yes, the chest hair-waxing scene, ... That was 100% real - complete with real pain.
You're telling me I have a gift for the pathetic. I have no idea where my pathetic nature comes from. If I thought about it too long, it would depress me.
You never really know what the camera is picking up in a scene -- or even where it is. There are stealth shots that surprise us all the time.
