I like to have a regimen. I don't like to be fancy free.

I love comedy. Playing the underdog, and getting the laughs is my form of entertainment. I could think of nothing different that I would want to be doing at this time in my life.

At the end of the day, even if my part is a bit goofy, the key thing is that I'm doing what I love to do, and that's to make people laugh.

I would love to work with Sir Anthony Hopkins. How and why that would happen in a comedy I'm not sure - why he would be dragged over to my side, or I'd be be dragged over to his side.

I am the common man. I'm polite, I love my family and I play by the rules. And sometimes I get pushed around. That's my lifestyle, and that's what I try to bring to characters.

I don't believe I've ever played a hip dude. I don't think I would have the wherewithal to do that.

I don't consider myself, you know, in real life one of those funny guys. My comedy comes through my work.

American Pie' was a big movie for me. No one knew it at the time, but it allowed me to be offered such movies as 'Like Mike' and 'New York Minute' with the Olsen twins

I can't do comedy that is cutting and vicious. If I knew I'd said something that was going to make someone feel bad, well, that supersedes everything.

I'm not a comedian. I don't do stand-up. I don't tell jokes. I'm a comedic actor, and approach my work that way. The comedy comes through the character.

I let the comedy come through the character and just try to make sure that everything is kind of rounded in a truth, in a reality, because that's what I need to make a character work.

What is the return on investment of being wedded to your suffering? What do you receive from stewing in victim consciousness? Righteous indignation or an excuse not to change?

I don't even take myself seriously, so how could I possibly take Hollywood seriously?

I just think the reassurance and the steadiness and the hands-on kindness can make a huge difference.

You become a writer because you need to become a writer - nothing else.

I've never been a sunny personality. I've never been outgoing. I'm a solitary person.

Racism is kinda old. For real.

There is no day more joyful in my life than when I see all my family around me. That's the best it gets.

It is now quite obvious that the humanists are using public education as the battering ram with which to destroy Christianity in the United States.

But precisely this illusion that everything is "clear" is what is blinding us all. It is a serious temptation, and it is a subtle form of pride and worldly love of power and revenge.

I can't write a book commensurate with Shakespeare, but I can write a book by me.
