The idea of the straight man is very important. But I'd rather it be somebody else, because it's not as fun. And when I say somebody else, of course I mean Jason Bateman. He's born to play boring characters because he's such a bore. He's one of the most boring human beings.

My first movie was this independent that I did on the Erie Canal in 1995, called Erie, that I don't know if you could even get, actually with Felicity Huffman. And then from that I did this film that was eventually called The Broken Giant later that fall. And then I kind of started getting into doing pilots.

I remember asking my dad, Why didn't you ever move to the States? You probably could have made a lot more money. My dad said, Because I have an obligation to give back. I always admired him for that.

The show had run its course on the Fox network.

But as a result of that, there was, once the show ended, there was this talk for sort of four, five months about what was going to happen, and if we were going to move to Showtime, and if we were going to be bought by ABC or whatever.

I probably suffered from ADHD, but they weren't so quick to diagnose it back then. For PE, they'd drop you in the woods with a compass and a pack of matches. It gave you confidence that you could rely on yourself.

Because I think a lot of people felt like, ultimately - and this isn't the first time I've said this, so I'll bore you again with it - but ultimately it was... I think it felt like homework a bit for people.

Because we have this whole other human being we have to think about other than ourselves. We had the luxury before of being totally self-centered.

Well, we were never coming back to Fox... that was clear.

That's kind of the nature of the profession I'm in. It's frustrating. Things don't go your way, and I was no exception, in that I spent many years struggling to get work, and there are a lot of people more talented than myself who got jobs before me. And I finally, after years and years and years, got lucky.

If you have a character that doesn't have anything wrong with him, there's nothing funny about it.

You don't always have to run. Take good time to watch first, then decide.

Arrested Development opened a lot of doors for me, and once I sort of became, I guess what you'd say available, there was a lot of opportunity out there, and it's been nice a lot of people have found it in their hearts to offer me movie parts.

I want my son to wear a helmet 24 hours a day. If it was socially acceptable I'd be the first one to have my kid in a full helmet and like a cage across his face mask.

I never really spent time being jealous. Maybe I should have.

All jokes aside, it's a very difficult job playing the straight man. Jason is potentially the most brilliant straight man that ever was because he's also really funny while doing it, which is even harder. I've always seen myself playing characters who are flawed. We use comedy in our lives to obscure the drama.

Yeah, you know, within the context of TV families, these are pretty unsavory characters.

I often get, 'Oh, you always play the asshole.' An asshole is somebody who knows that they're doing it, but continues to behave a certain way. The one sort of common thread to me has always been that these are imperfect people.

Playing the assholes in the movie is fun.
