Reverse psychology is an awesome tool, I don't know if you guys know about it, but basically you can make someone think the opposite of what you believe, and that tricks them into doing something stupid. Works like a charm.

High school – those are your prime suffering years. They don’t get better suffering than that.

I have no idea where my pathetic nature comes from. If I thought about it too long, it would depress me.

I don't do anything to try to change people's perceptions of me. I tend to think that's sort of an ego driven thing.

In my role of agent for Miss Hathaway, I would like to say that she does not answer questions relating to this subject.

I was sort of traumatized by girls in the third grade. Because there was a girl in my third grade class I had a crush on. I bought her a box of Valentine's Day chocolate. And I put it in her cubby with a note that said something like, I am deeply in love with you, Your Secret Admirer. And I didn't sign my name.

If we were meant to read for enjoyment, would God have created television? Read as it was intended - for exercise. The more you read, the more you expand your - what's the word I'm looking for? - your stockpile of words. You must have a stockpile of words that you can pass along to your children for their stockpile.

How did I end up in films with people like Keira Knightley... all these beautiful leading ladies and me - it's kind of shocking.

Do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it's not like a compulsive need to be liked. Like my need to be praised.

There's such a freewheeling nature to 'Second City,' and the greatest thing about 'Second City' was having a sophisticated audience night after night who appreciated what it was. They knew it wasn't all going to be great when you improvised, so they were very forgiving that way.

Being a leading man... that's like saying I want to be astronaut. That's not going to happen.

I don't think something necessarily has to be mean or cynical to represent 'edgy.' I think 'edgy' can mean a lot of different things.

I look at improvising as a prolonged game of chess. There's an opening gambit with your pawn in a complex game I have with one character, and lots of side games with other characters, and another game with myself - and in each game you make all these tiny, tiny moves that get you to the endgame.

I know I'm not a woman's fantasy man I don't have to uphold this image of male beauty, so that's kind of a relief in a way.

I’m not good with pickup lines or flirting. I don’t have that kind of self-confidence or natural charisma.
