When you're playing a supporting character, you don't really have a lot of control of the quality of the film.

Ideally, that's what you've got in an acting career is an equal number of dramas and comedies and an equal number of small films and big films.

Nothing would make me happier than doing nothing but drama for the foreseeable future.

I can't assume that my kid is going to make the best decision all the time.

I'm not that great of an actor, so I can't, like, completely become somebody else.

I try to figure out how much of the character I can find in myself because you don't want to get outside of your skill-set.

There are worse things than being constantly hired to do anything.

I didn't really watch 'Beavis & Butt-head' that much or 'King of the Hill,' but I was a huge 'Office Space' fan.

I'm just going to try to stay employed. That's the tough part in this business.

There's a bunch of different flavours of funny. It's all about the execution of it.

If you laugh, we just do another take. Laughter is too rare nowadays. If you can bust a gut, let it go, and we'll just go back to one.

I like to give my daughter some rope and let her make her own decisions.

I did a good bit of episodic television directing, but directing a movie is so much more complicated.

I'm not a big, huge star, and so when people see me, it's usually to talk about something I've done, and that's a great conversation to have. That's what we're doing it for.

My mother is British; she's from Shrewsbury. She turned me onto 'Monty Python' very early.

It's not new: In the '70s, Archie Bunker said terrible things on 'All in the Family,' but it was all in Carroll O'Connor's performance. You saw lack of intelligence, and you laughed.

I'd much rather have the freedom, and the obligation to use it responsibly, than be put in a box.

Our kids will never have to remember things, because it's all in pictures. Want to remember your fourth birthday? There'll be video of it on your phone.

I think it's always a good time to be in a political film in America because there's so much material for comedy.

It's very difficult to pretend you're throwing a car.

I just think technology is pretty amazing. Like all things that are great, you have to be responsible about how much you use it.

As disciplined as I am, I'm also a huge hedonist.

It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

I've been fortunate, but I'm also not very precious about making sure I'm the star of a film.

It earns you a lot of snark if you're able to convey vulnerability.

If you're stumbling out of a bar, and people tweet about it, well, don't be dumb. If you're going to get falling-down drunk, stay at home - which I did a lot of.

I don't feel sorry for people in the public eye getting eyed by the public.

People still come up to me and say, 'Hey, 'Teen Wolf!' 'Teen Wolf Too' closed a week after it opened. Where did they see it?

Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.

I looked around at the relationships that were the longest in my life, and they were the ones I had with my friends. I thought, 'If I only wanted to get married once, I should probably marry a friend.'

My father was a freelance writer/director/producer, and my mother was a stewardess for Pan-Am. It was very non-traditional.

I was never at a place where rehab would have been appropriate.

Our job as actors is to just try to be as accurate and as mindful of what the audience is going through and receiving and processing.

It was like 'Risky Business' for 10 years. My parents were out of town, they left me a bunch of money, the car, and the house, and I didn't know when they were coming home.

My sense of humor lies a little closer to the middle.

The comedy community is very friendly right now. I think that's why you see all the synergy and people doing each other's movies.

I only wanted to get married once, so when I felt I was ready to handle it, I looked at my relationships and noticed that boyfriends get tired of girlfriends, and vice versa, but you never get tired of your friends.

I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies, you're a teen idol by default.

Jennifer Aniston and I have always just really gotten along well... I was just fortunate to be a good fit for parts in her films.

I really enjoy playing that everyman part because that part is us, the audience. And you need somebody inside a comedy to tether the absurdity to reality.

Things are going better now than ever, but in 24 months? I could be hearing crickets.

Starting at age 10, my personality and my identity all stemmed from employment. I had a set to be at. I was a certain way with the cameraman, a certain way with the makeup lady - a normal, routine environment.

I have to warn you: I bet horses like a girl.

I would rather do three or four small parts every year as opposed to some of the lower-hanging fruit that might get my name above the title.

I played a ton of team sports growing up, and team wins are just incredibly gratifying.

I was just a lot smarter about not getting caught. I mean, I never stuck anything in my arm, but I certainly enjoyed my youth.

I don't have anything to fix! I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I don't eat carbs. My life is just great now. Normal. Vanilla.

Will Arnett is one of the funniest guys I know. He has seen it all and done it all and come out the other end pretty savvy and pretty strong.

People have often asked if I'm gay because I don't go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude.

Obviously, I did a couple of things right on the old casting couch.
