 What was frustrating about Armageddon was the time I spent not doing anything. It was a big special effects film, and I wasn't crazy about pretending I was in outer space. It feels ridiculous. |
| The first movie I had a featured role in was Parting Glances. |
| I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin. |
| The director I had most involvement with was Alex Rockwell. He gave me a lot of responsibility as an actor. |
| It doesn't matter so much where the material comes from, as long as it's good. |
| My favorite review described me as the cinematic equivalent of junk mail. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like a dig. |
| Trees Lounge is based on my own life. Both my parents like the movie. My father, of course, thinks it's a masterpiece. |
| I think all comics borrow from each other. Only a few have an original voice, and I wasn't one of them. In the end, I couldn't figure out who to steal from, so I stopped doing it. |
| I was very surprised that for a while I could only get cast as straight. It was that way for a few years. |
| I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors. |
| I never made a daring rescue, which is the story people want to hear. I did go to my share of fires. |
| Directing television is really hard - it's so fast. You shoot an hour show in seven days. |
