David and I got cut out the editing process on that. We were able to affect it more than not. We sent in our notes, we were able to see cuts. We weren't allowed to see dailies and we weren't allowed to sit in the editing room and just work.
But that's having kids. I think that changes you more than marriage, I mean, marriage, it doesn't really change my sense of humor.
I think people might think I've gotten a little more serious, but I just don't think that's true. I sort of always liked the same stuff.
I can't really say how big the cult is. But I'm proud of it. I'm proud that it has a life.
When I go to M Bar there's all kinds of agents there, looking for people who doing good stuff.
It is so weird to be on this side of that, because when you're starting out, and it seems like you're starting out for so long, you look up to the people who have made their mark. And you sort of want to be that.

I think that acting is no fun unless it's hard. I'm not titillated by acting or being an actor unless I have to work hard.
I love any scene where there's a physical confrontation. It reminds me that I'm in show business and I play pretend for a living.
My goal, whenever entering a project, is always to gain 12 pounds.
I don't think the sketch on its own is a great sketch.
Comedy is tragedy plus timing.
