One thing I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.

I feel like I've lived the dream for sure, I'm the luckiest guy in the world and I never forget that. I always feel like I'm proof of positive thought and manifestation, and that faith is more important than talent. But if you have both you're really doing something.

Everybody expects the fairy tale - you're going to be together forever with somebody. I don't really subscribe to that. I'd love that to happen if that happened, but ten years is enough. Ten years is a good thing with somebody, I think. It's a nice thing. A lot of good love can happen in ten years.

I'm not always looking for the laugh. I'm not the guy who sits in and listens to conversations and wants to jump in with something hilarious every two seconds. I actually do listen to people.

I come from the philosophy of: Whatever happens to me is the greatest thing that could happen, no matter what. Sometimes in the moment I have a regret, but then I have found myself every time down the line saying to myself: I wouldn't be here if it weren't for that so called failure.

Movies are great, but the real romance happens right here somewhere as real close-up. Either you're the one erasing or you're the one being erased, so... It's not a pleasant feeling!

Image
I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of the day when I'm alone and don't have to be on, performing.

I don't remember yesterday. I pretty much live in the moment.

If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression.

It's always good I think in general to have different energies on screen, like it's nice to have different characters go at different speeds, just like different people work at different speeds.

Psychologically, it's what I love to be. Tearing apart a person from the inside out.

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

You know, I live a monastic lifestyle. No, I do. I do live in extremes, basically. I go back and forth. Once every six months, I'll have a day where I eat more chocolate than has ever been consumed by a human being.

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

Ultimately, we’re not the avatars we create. We’re not the pictures on the film stock. We are the light that shines through it. All else is just smoke and mirrors. Distracting, but not truly compelling.
