Election' made zero money at the box office, but it started my career.

Well, acting has been a dream of mine since I can remember; being in the movies and acting, having those experiences.

For me, I've always been one that reads a script and has been ready, wiling and able to go out and fight for parts.

I love being an actor, and that's really the bottom line - in any medium, in any genre - and I want to do it.

I want to prove to the skeptics that I'm not a clown. I'm very serious about what I do. I want to be a good ski jumper who has a sense of humor.

When you're going for a big studio comedy, the joke tally better be pretty high, and you better have some big comedy set pieces. That was one of the issues when I was trying to get 'Swingers' made for the first time, which is that there weren't any broad comedy set pieces.

Half the battle is that people have to like you before you say one joke, one bit of humor.

I have this horrible sense of humor where I think discomfort is funny - partly because I experience discomfort a lot, and it's a way of laughing at it and getting a release.
