You Can Inspire People To Give You

Being Onstage Is Like Being Rock Star. Whereas If You're Doing A Movie, It's Such A Confined Space. You Know, You Do A Comedy, It's So Hard, Too, 'cause With A Comedy, There's No Vocal Reaction, There's No Energy That You Get Back That Spurs You On To Be Funnier Because Everyone Has To Be Quiet.

How Much Do You Have To Pay Someone To Be In A George Clooney/alexander Payne Film? Nothing!! Because Everyone In The World Wants To Be A Part Of It. Therefore You Pay Nothing. And That Continues Until You Become Something They Need... I'm Not That Kind Of Actor. I'm Blue Collar And Very Replaceable.

Character Actors Are Becoming A Thing Of The Past. They're Just Going By The Wayside. They're Just Cutting Through That Caliber Of Acting.

You Become Funny For A Reason. I Became An Actor Because That's Who I Was, Nothing Else - It Was The Only Thing I Was Good At. You Become A Clown And You Make People Laugh Because A) It Protects You From Everything, And B) It's This Validating Force In Your Life. And When You're 12 And 13 Years Old, You Need Validation And You're Lost And You're Kind Of Floating And You Suffer From A Severe Learning Disability And You're Overweight And You Have Glasses... You Become Funny For A Reason.

For Better Or Worse, I Take My Acting Seriously. I May Not Have Been In The Best Movies Ever Made, But I Take It Deathly Serious, And I Love Being An Actor.
