Quote

'Allen Gregory' came about because we wanted an animated show and we were just tossing around some ideas about me playing a 7-year-old. We thought that would be cool, because we couldn't do that in real life.

There are a lot of things going into making a movie. So many things can go wrong. So many people that need to show up and bring their A game. If one thing is out of place, the whole movie can fall apart.

I mean, I find things that happened in real life to be the funniest - things that you observe instead of crazy abstract things, you know.

My heroes are Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman. Those are the two actors that both do comedies and dramas, seamlessly. Also John C. Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman. They're all just great actors, neither comedic nor dramatic. They're just great actors.

I've learned through experience of playing different characters, some of whom were jerks, that when you play a character who is pretentious or obnoxious, in any way, it's important to knock them down a peg.

I love my parents. But I'm almost 28 and it's not fun to be asked, 'What are you doing today? What do you want for dinner? When are you going to be home?' It just makes you feel like a kid. It's this juxtaposition of feeling annoyed and really lucky to have people who love you so much.

It's not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore I'm no longer the underdog in that world.

Besides the fact that I make movies, there's nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.

The fact that the Kardashians could be more popular than a show like “Mad Men” is disgusting. It’s a super disgusting part of our culture, but I still find it funny to make a joke about it.

The great thing about 'Allen Gregory' is that we try to make it really questionable that the things he says have happened, have really happened. We like that ambiguity.

I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.

I like playing characters that, you know, a couple could go see the movie and one person could love him and one person could hate him.

I think morality is so individual and personal, and people draw their own lines of what that means for them.

I mostly make R-rated movies. To make a movie that one day if I have kids or my nephews want t watch, I can show them without being put in prison. It would be really nice.

When you do your comedy and your drama, your acting style doesn't change. If it's a comedy, the situations and the characters might be a little funnier, but you're just trying to be honest.
