Acting is a sport, like a game of tennis, and you and your opponent take turns setting the level of play.

What's more awful, to me, than blood and guts is the thought of losing those who you love.

I found out I really love brutal fight scenes.

So much of life is just talk. At the end of the day, you're just serving the higher thing.

Micro humor is a joke that's contained in the writing: it's a punch line, it's a turn of phrase, it's something that you can see on the page, and no matter who's saying it, it is, in and of itself, a funny line.

I think, in comedy, you only hit about one or two great characters in your career. Sometimes my character will be just a sketch... what is the funniest situation to put this person in?

I had wanted to do a comedy.

There is a core value I wanted to illuminate: No matter what kind of family you have - straight, gay, married, single parent, separated, no kids, two kids, 20 kids, whatever - we all go through the human comedy. But if the bonds are strong enough, and the desire is there, you can get to the other side, still together and still a family.
