I really believed that Batman had the potential to be one of the coolest guys in cinema.

No, I don't see many movies. I don't even see my own movies.

I worked at a PBS station called WQED in Pittsburgh.

I never wanted to play the short game.

Weirdly, for someone who wanted to be funny, I didn't like a lot of attention.

I guess I'm probably a Method actor; I don't know... I just think of it as staying in the zone.

Over the years, I think, people - actors, writers, whatever - lose their frame of reference. Their frame of reference is based on somebody else who did this or did that. Performances. So it just becomes a reflection of what already works. Like a warm-up. And that's an invitation to be inauthentic.

I really like to hear actors talk about acting, but I don't really like hearing myself talk.

I'm just shocked and thankful that I've gotten away with everything - experimenting here, trying at this, failing at that, being good in some things, not so good in others. It's kind of amazing that people are still sticking by me. When they come up to me in the street, I just want to write them all cheques.

I'm usually pretty good in front of a live audience. I usually like that.

My brothers were tremendous shack builders. My shacks were horrible. My brothers once built a two-story shack from the ground up that was awesome!

Will Ferrell makes me laugh a lot when he gets out there and gets crazy.

I was never a huge 007 fan, but I sure liked Sean Connery. I'm sure Pierce Brosnan is good and has his moments, but I've not seen him; I've only seen bits and pieces on TV, so I can't really judge. Pierce looks very natural in the role.

I grew up in rural Pennsylvania, in a really rundown old house. I'd stay out till 8:30, 9:00 at night. Just blow in. My mom and dad never really cared much. It was okay. We were pretty free to roam. I mean, I had no concept of stopping play. It just didn't occur to anyone.

There's this thin line between knowing something is going to be really hard and saying, 'Yeah, you know, but I still gotta see if I can pull it off.'

I never knew anyone who was cloned, but I played one in 'Multiplicity.'

Actors don't get to be well-known if they're horrible.
