- Nov 07, 2020
There is nothing more unpleasant than watching someone on a TV or movie set act like they are entitled to a particular kind of treatment just because they have been doing it for longer. We are all in the same boat - one job at a time.
- Family

- Nov 07, 2020
The divorce in my family was really amicable. There were no fireworks. It was all sort of behind the scenes, if you will. None of us kids ever saw any argument.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I would have had the same opportunities when I was 22, there's a good chance I would have squandered them. I know my work wouldn't have been any good.
- Netflix
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Parks and Rec' is definitely a mainstream show - the group that watches it on TV on Thursday night is small, but the audience that watches it on things like Hulu, Netflix, and Tivo is enormous.
- Nerd
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm an R.E.M. nerd and have been since I was 14.
- Nov 07, 2020
I guess I'm used to TV where we don't really rehearse. You block it out, and then you just start shooting.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've barfed in movies before. It seems like it always ends up being Campbell's soup mixed with something else.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me to get a lead role in a real movie is something to jump at. It's not like I get to do that all of the time.
- Noise
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's the worst noise in the world: me analyzing the reasons for making a podcast about U2.
- I Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love a good, poppy chorus.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Classic Rock

- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's interesting how there are a few times in your life when you get to reinvent yourself. Like the beginning of junior high or high school, and certainly when you go off to college.
- Keep Moving
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In television, you make an hour-long episode every seven days; we used to make 'Party Down' in four days per episode. It's quick and with independent movies is the same: you gotta keep moving. It's very similar.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I had gotten the parts in 'Scream' or 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' I would not have been very good in them, and I would've squandered whatever success I had gotten because I wasn't ready for that sort of thing. So I feel grateful for all of the years that I have behind me trying to get traction and a career.

Sometimes people's behavior is seemingly unexplainable.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think people are getting more and more comfortable - watching content at home is blurring that line, because people are getting used to watching movies at home.
- Better
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
More and more, you're seeing television shows that are better than 99% of the movies out there. I mean, you watch something like the last couple of seasons of 'The Sopranos,' which is some of the most sophisticated writing I've ever seen filmed and some of the best filmmaking I've ever seen - and it's a TV show.
- Freaked
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I got really into Martin Scorsese as a teenager, so then it was kind of the whole reason I wanted to be an actor. Just like tons of young actors, I think, get freaked out by the Scorsese/DeNiro movies. I loved all his movies in the '90s, too. Then I got a part in 'The Aviator' and couldn't believe it.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For years and years, I was doing extra work and guest spots and anything I could cobble together.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think 'Piranha' won't be in the guilty-pleasure category, because it's gonna be - well, yeah, maybe for some people. From what I've seen, it has a sense of humor about itself, and it's also really scary and really, really violent. I would call it a popcorn movie from the planet Popcorn.
- Forever
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every little interaction I had with Scorsese is forever tattooed on my brain.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was a pretentious teenager, so of course I had, you know, 'Raging Bull' posters and all of that. 'Raging Bull' is not a pretentious movie, but me having the poster was a pretentious action. I even grew a goatee and had a Knicks cap, because I thought I wanted to be like Spike Lee.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that a movie of a TV show is really tricky, and I don't know if it's ever really been done well. Because it's really hard if you have a 22-minute show, especially something like 'Party Down,' where it's all contained at the party.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Just as a fan and a consumer, I think less of actors as one thing and belonging to one genre or medium. People do all kinds of things.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love hearing about bad behavior. It's just so funny to me. Especially, grown ups acting like weird, inconsolable babies over really stupid things, to me, is really funny.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was a political junkie, and it just exhausted me, and after Obama won, I just kind of unplugged from all of that for a while.
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember, the first time I played a parent was - I did a guest spot on 'Veronica Mars,' and they were like, 'OK, and this is your daughter,' and there's this little girl standing there. And I remember thinking, 'OK, this is weird... I guess I'm old enough to have a daughter.'
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, the comedies that truly work are the ones that are grounded in some way. If it's all heightened, it's really hard. It's a little slippery. It's hard to get purchase on the side of the wall.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember getting out of acting school and friends of mine talking about, like, 'You know, I don't think I'm gonna do TV.' Like, people putting on these airs of being picky. And I was never a snob about it.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a recurring dream where I'm on the run for a horrible thing I did years and years ago. Like, in the dream... because the thing I did was so long ago that it's just a faint memory in my dream, so I'm sort of remembering it as I'm on the run from the police. And I'm totally guilty of it.

AirPods have squirmed their way into my life. I use them every day, and I always know where they are and if they're charged or not.
- Everything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
JanSport thinks about everything that a person in the 21st century would need, and then creates a pocket for it.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have this Waterpik that shoots water between your teeth. It's great. You do that along with flossing, and you know for a fact you've cleaned your mouth as much as humanly possible. It's like going to the dentist every night in your bathroom. I don't know if it's a floss replacement, but in conjunction with flossing, it's great.
- Little
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Dr. Bronner's is the best. My mom had Dr. Bronner's around since I was a little kid, and I've used it in the shower as soap ever since.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All of my favorite comedy has always been of the grounded variety. Even 'MacGruber.' I think that MacGruber is a really grounded character.
- Hot
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
David Wain just texted me and asked me if I wanted to do 'Wet Hot.' And I just said, 'Yeah, sure.' And he said, 'You want me to call you and tell you about the character?' And I was like, 'Not really. Just tell me when, and I'll do it.'
- Did
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never was a caterer, but I did deliver pizzas.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As far as base humiliation goes, acting is a tough business. It's a tough, embarrassing thing to do for a living when you're starting out, and you better not have any ego or pride, because that will be wiped away clean by utter devastation.
- Get
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's really fun to get recognized for 'Step Brothers.'

- |

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was a chubby kid.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What could be said about 'Party Down?' So many things. It was such a good idea - a different party every week is such a slam-dunk of an idea that I couldn't believe it had not been done yet. The creators of it are my friends.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Amy Adams was great to work with, fun and lovely.
- Duty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like having a duty. I'm a terrible cook, but when people come over, if I'm falling between the cracks socially, I can always run away to my job.
- Fun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like to improvise; I think it's just a healthy thing to do, to keep everything loose and fun.
- Get
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Ever since having kids, napping is something that I'm prone to do and very easily could do but rarely get the chance to.
- Feeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There was a lot of improvisation on 'Step Brothers.' I remember it being really frightening, and it took me a long time to get used to it and grow to be able to hold my own. But I remember when it was done feeling like, 'I don't know if I ever want to go back to working another way.'
- Importance

- Nov 07, 2020
When you blow an audition that you have a lot of importance on, it haunts you for years.

- Life

For a lot of people, divorce is an incredibly healthy move to make in your life.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think a lot of us are a lot more cautious with marriage because of what we saw happening with our parents. I see a lot more healthy marriages in my generation than they probably saw in theirs.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I would be horrified to watch whatever I was doing on 'Party Of Five.' I'm sure I'm bad on it.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I mean, the acting school I went to, we did have a social experience, but you know, when it's a bunch of actors, it's everyone self-consciously having a social experience rather than just having a social experience.
- Interesting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Journalism classes would have been interesting to me.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If I'm going to be away from my family, I'd rather it be working with my friends.
- Envy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You know, writing is really difficult, and it takes a real patience and a skill. I don't know if I have that. I admire it in others, so much, and I envy it.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
And if you get caught up in combing the Internet for what people think of you or how people perceive you, I think that's a slippery slope.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I mean, I love action films, you know, good action films.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Step Brothers' itself, when I did it, I don't know if I had any idea that it would become a defining moment in my career and life like it has, and I'm really happy that that's the one that ended up being that for me.
- Guilty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I tend to be a little too old to feel guilty about watching anything. Like, I watch 'Survivor' every week.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Like, on the 'Parks And Rec' set, I still feel like I'm a guest star. Being a fan of the show, it's really surreal to be on the set and see that it's not real, and getting to know the actors and they're not their characters.
- Favorite Thing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love working with friends; it's my favorite thing to do. I've found over the years that that ends up being the best way to spend my time.
- Flashes
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I focused my life on things that are a little more dependable, like my family and things that actually make me happy, rather than momentary flashes of success or anything like that.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think 'Party Down' found its audience primarily on Netflix and stuff like that, and primarily after it had been cancelled.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Being an actor is just kind of embarrassing.
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up right in Santa Cruz, right across the bay from Monterey. I would go to Monterey all the time.
- Cool
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I did a couple quick things with Nicole Kidman, and I really loved that. She was a really cool person to chat with and had a really lovely presence on set. I'm a big admirer of her work. It's amazing the volume of work she does.
- Funny
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I like having a beard. What's funny is when you shave a beard, you realize how freezing cold your face is! The primary purpose evolution-wise is to keep you warm, to grow hair on your face. You shave it off, and your face is freezing for a few days.
- Chasing

- Nov 07, 2020
Chasing kids on the beach and sleeping is the closest I come to exercising while in Hawaii.
