Really If You Look At My Filmography,

I'm Dating Myself By Saying This, But I Was The Test Audience For 'space Invaders.' I Remember When That Was The First Game That Wasn't A Pinball Game. I Spent A Lot Of Money On 'space Invaders,' In The Form Of Quarters, Of Course.

I Grew Up Listening To A Lot Of Player-piano Music In My House And A Lot Of Old Tin Pan Alley Songs And American Standards. My Dad Listened To A Lot Of Traditional Irish Music And I Grew Up Doing Musical Theater. So Most Of The Music I Was Exposed To As A Kid Was Pre-rock N' Roll.

I Don't Think I Could Ever Stop Doing Serious Movies And Just Do Comedies, Or Vice Versa, But There Is Something Cool About Going To Work Everyday And You're Just Trying To Make Your Friends Laugh. That's Nice Work If You Can Get It, You Know What I Mean? It's Different Than Going To Work And Knowing That I've Gotta Slap Someone In The Face Today, And Then I've Gotta Cry, And Someone's Gonna Die, I've Gotta Get Myself To That Place.

The Thing I Tried To Remember When I Was Younger Was 'do Something That's At Least As Good, If Not Better, Than The Last Thing You Did.' So I Started With Brian De Palma And Sean Penn. I Had A Pretty High Bar To Start With.

I Swear And It Comes Off A Little Angry, No Matter How Funny I'm Trying To Do It. If I Use Certain Words With A Certain Intensity, It's Like 'whoa Whoa Whoa, Buddy Buddy!'
