across campus ended flyer ripped
When I got to college, as I was walking across campus one day, I ripped off a little flyer for this sketch-comedy group. It ended up being one of the greatest things I've ever done.
english spot taught
I taught English in Costa Rica before I went to college. I'm not an especially outdoorsy guy, but sometimes I would spot wildlife while whitewater rafting or walking in the rainforest at 5 A.M.
classics god guy hemingway huge love
I'm a huge classics fan. I love Ernest Hemingway and J.D. Salinger. I'm that guy who rereads a book before I read newer stuff, which is probably not all that progressive, and it's not really going to make me a better reader. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, you should read To Kill a Mockingbird.'
good responsibility
I think we all have a responsibility to tell good stories.
scariest situations
I think we all get into situations where we don't know how to proceed, and those are really the scariest moments that we have, but that's also what makes us 'grow up' and learn a lot about each other.
married screw terror whether
I think that whether you're married or not, in any relationship, there's always the terror that you're going to screw something up.
dave sort
I went to Dave Eggers with this idea of doing a movie about a guy going through some sort of Frank Capra-esque journey.
credit dreams far head life moments
I credit NTI, truthfully, with everything as far as where my head is and what my goals are and dreams are. I would say it was probably one of the most influential moments of my life, being there.
admire anybody avoid george sucks superpower
I admire him so much; if I was ever going to have a dude-crush, it would be on George Clooney. I mean, I don't think you can avoid it. It's like a superpower - he just sucks anybody in around him.
For me, there are worse things than being pigeonholed as the nice guy.
formed incredible wives
My parents and my brothers and their wives are incredible and formed me as a person long before I got to Hollywood.
huge indie kids
I was one of those kids who had never seen an indie film before I got to college. If it wasn't a big, huge tentpole movie, or if it wasn't on the radio, I hadn't experienced it.
life lottery waiter
I was a waiter before 'The Office,' so to me, this was a winning lottery ticket. Everything about my life has changed.
saw streets
I remember when I saw 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,' I wanted to go out and direct a movie right there on the streets of Manhattan. Unfortunately, you can't without permits.
