Marriage

Like

Grow

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

Growing up, I was certainly drawn to comedy, but my goal was just to be as well-rounded an actor as possible. I really liked Daniel Day-Lewis, and I thought, 'Oh, he's a good guy to try and emulate.'

Me

I treasure laughs more than anything; they've helped me in life the most.

Hot
|
Nov 07, 2020

Tea has always been a big thing in my life. And I'm not talking about Liptons with lemon or iced tea, or any of that nonsense. Has to be hot PG Tips with milk.

New
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was always in new schools and had British parents, which was not the norm, and I think there was also... I'm not particularly religious, but I was born Jewish, and I always felt like the outsider because I wasn't Christian or Catholic.

Growing Up
|
Nov 07, 2020

There is something about growing up in the Midwest that gives a different kind of sensibility. But if I'm feeling insecure, the smiles and politeness get upped a notch, and maybe that isn't totally reflective of how I'm feeling on the inside.

Anybody that's going on a road trip and doesn't really want to get into a myriad of snacks is probably no one you want to get in the car with.

Okay
|
Nov 07, 2020

Dad

People have all different kinds of marriages. Whatever works for you.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

Whatever I'm working on, the character I'm playing tends to slowly bleed into my own real life. Not in any kind of creepy, Method actor-y kind of way - it's just an innate kind of merging.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

I laugh much more during takes than I do during real life. Maybe because you're not supposed to. I've ruined many takes because I will lose it.

Friends

I've been friends with Elizabeth Banks since 'Wet Hot American Summer.'

I Am

Doing
|
Nov 07, 2020

Being

Mom
|

Go
|
Nov 07, 2020

For a while, I tried to masquerade as somewhat of a hippie because I was under the impression that was the kind of guy girls would like. I was pretty unsuccessful because I liked the idea of camping more than actually camping. I did go to a Grateful Dead concert, but I was pretty bored.

Every Day

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm not that nice - it's one of those things that reveals itself over time. You could talk to people who know me well; they could give you a laundry list. Except they probably wouldn't because they're petrified.

Laugh
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think I used comedy as a mechanism: if I could make the other kids laugh, I wouldn't get beaten up or teased as much.

Nov 07, 2020

I do like the idea that tomorrow I might find out that I'm going to be doing something that is completely unknowable today. I think it forces you to live in the moment in a very good way.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

While there are so many great things in my life, you get older, and you have responsibilities. And things happen, like my dad dying - things that are tough to shake off. And there are things I'm still trying to figure out.

Laugh
|
Nov 07, 2020

Great

There's something great about the idea of working the land and living communally. That's healthy. That's good.

Who knows what critics are thinking? I know that you make more of a name for yourself, make more of an interesting review, if you're kind of mean-spirited.

Happy
|
Nov 07, 2020

Looking back, I'm really happy with the choices I've made in my career. I know for a fact I could be wealthier. Who knows, maybe I could be more successful, maybe not. I don't know. But just about every single thing I've ever done I've gone into with the right intentions, and that goes a long way.

Comedians
|
Nov 07, 2020

Me

I Am

Nov 07, 2020

There is a major part of who I am that does not feel like the alpha male.

Feel

Couple Years
|
Nov 07, 2020

My sister was born a couple years after I was, and I realized that I wasn't getting enough attention, as much attention as I used to before she showed up, and then I learned pretty early on that if I could do a silly dance or make grown-ups laugh, then the attention would come back to me, and I would be accepted.

Advice
|
Nov 07, 2020

Growing up, if I had been given any advice - bad or good - I probably wouldn't have been able to act on it regardless. I wasn't shy, but I'd get nervous. I got a little more confident later in high school when I realized I could get girls to pay attention to me by making them laugh.

Both
|
Nov 07, 2020

Amy Poehler, Amy Sedaris - they're both genius.

Past
|
Nov 07, 2020

Divorce
