I don't get offered many dramatic roles. As soon as my face pops up in a movie, everyone knows I'm the funny guy.

That's what keeps me up at three in the morning: Who's looking at reviews of Cabin Boy right now?

I haven't really auditioned much in my career. I've been lucky in terms of the feature work it's mostly been people that have been fans of mine that have called and said We have this part, do you want to do it? That kind of thing. And that's sort of still the way it is right now - I don't really go after features too much.

Probably the most fun I've ever had, actually, acting. Because it was the perfect extension of the stuff that I'd started to do on Late Night With David Letterman, and when I look back on all my work, it was probably the best possible incarnation of Chris Elliott, of me.

I'm not a competitive person.

But I don't think I was ever destined to be a big star.

I think the whole idea of me was that I wasn't going to be but that I wanted to be, desperately.
