I always have my best thoughts on the toilet.

Everyone knows what it's like to feel like the underdog. Everyone wants to be accepted. Ultimately, everybody wants to be loved.

Hot soup at table is very vulgar it either leads to an unseemly mode of taking it, or keeps people waiting too long whilst it cools. Soup should be brought to table only moderately warm.

Both of my parents are actually music teachers.

Image
I'm really into everything. Something I've been asked throughout the years I've done the show is, What kind of music are you into? I find that to be a bizarre question, because it implies there are people out there that are only into one specific kind of music. But I think I, like most people, enjoy a wide variety of music.

Both of my parents are actually music teachers. I think I got to a certain age where I decided I'd rather be a baseball player than a musician. Now, like most kids, I regret it.

As an actor, sometimes you feel a pressure to change yourself from time to time.

I waited tables in New York, and when you're in that line of work, you often have a horrible boss.
Charlie Day
Image
I don't think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great. Do what's uncomfortable and scary and hard but pays off in the long run... Let yourself fail... And pick yourself up and fail again. Without that struggle, what is your success anyway?

I had my own insecurities, which a lot of my comedy would come from, about not being able to live up to their academic expectations. Acting out those insecurities was a way of confronting them, like, “Let me just lean into being a guy who can’t read or write.”

I find that the majority of the year, I don't spend acting. I spend it either writing or editing or producing, or putting things together. So it's as shocking as it is tragic. I really enjoy it. It's a valuable skill set. I certainly feel like more of a grownup.

You're responsible for your own character to a degree, because when it comes to the final draft of the script, you might say, Well, I think maybe I could add this here, add that there. But I find that I write just as well for the other characters as I do for myself. I think.

Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.

I think people are surprised when I string two sentences together. But I had a fiercely academic upbringing.

Because Guillermo's [del Toro] obviously a painter painting a picture and my job is just to provide the color that he probably already has in his mind.
