I think I could go away tomorrow. I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself.

Acting is divine dissatisfaction. It's the greatest thing in the world to do, but you are never satisfied with it ever.

It's nice to finally get scripts offered to me that aren't the ones Tom Hanks wipes his butt with.

You can be zany and funny or you can do something that really has some depth to it and serious, so there's many different colors to paint with. I would hate to get trapped in one little thing. I always feel like funny is an appendage, but it is not my whole body.

All there will ever be is what's happening here. Decisions we make in this moment are based on either love or fear. So many of us choose our path out of fear, disguised as practicality.

I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.

That's the trouble with being me. At this point, nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they'd be like, 'Yeah, big deal. I'd eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you're pulling down.'

I spent most of my time in my room staring at a mirror. I never knew I was supposed to socialize. I just spent hours making faces at myself, having a good time.

The thing is, I've always tried to create transcendent moments. Moments that take people away from their concerns. Heaven to me is when people find a way to become so involved with life that they're no longer concerned for the future.

Image
As far as I'm concerned, everything bad that happens in the world stems from the same place, they're people who don't feel important.

Those times in life when you're terrified are the mastery times.

My career has been in a weird kind of like low-flying under the radar-kind of place. I never made it on Saturday Night Live where all my friends did.

If I'm not back in 5 minutes, just wait longer.

I try to stay in decent shape always. I pride myself on staying at least a month away from really good shape.

I just may laugh at different things than most people. I laugh at mistakes. I laugh at how you recover from mistakes. I see when people go off their material and it's actually happening in front of you and that kind of stuff excites me.

Humor is not debatable. It's like sex. Either you're aroused or you're not. Nobody can reason you around to their point of view.

I hate Christmas. I do think it is odd that I have wound up playing these two iconic Christmas haters. It is the same story, in a way. Scrooge is the original Grinch. I think I am perfectly suited, because I have had some dark Christmases.

Hysterical in The Mask funny yet moving in The Truman Show.
