I love anything to do with ventriloquism and magic.

I know as I'm taking my dying breath, the ambulance guy will ask me why they cancelled Action.

I had an obsession that I was male characters from movies.

I loved the idea of the Nerd as Hero, which Ghost World also had.

When we were doing a scene, lots of times we would collapse giggling because it seemed so silly because it felt like we were doing a home movie at times.

I love sketch comedy. My real goal is to do something with Albert Brooks. That would be my fantasy. I stay up night and day thinking up stuff he might find funny.

I met Patricia Neal, John Houseman. But I loved my grandfather because he was this kind, talented man.

It was an interesting way to come across in my first big role. To work with Robert DeNiro was very exciting.

I'm a huge poster collector.

I'm a big fan of Albert Brooks, Nichols and May. I'd like to follow in their footsteps and do comedy films.

Silver is sometimes more valuable than gold, that is, in large quantities.

I want to do my hard dives really well, I want to see what my true potential in this sport really is. I want to grasp that.

Optimism generates hope...hope releases dreams...dreams set goals...enthusiasm follows

We don't live in a world that's black and white.

In intimate relationships, if we start trying to be more real, it's very scary.

For some people, becoming a parent does change them, but it never changed me.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and Start being positive about what could go right.
