Puberty hit me pretty hard. All of a sudden, I woke up, and I had really curly hair.

Humor is the most important thing in life. It trumps everything else, and it's the only thing that helps me deal with everything else.

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.

I think there's something great and generic about goldfish. They're everybody's first pet.

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

My parents raised me to treat people the way you would want to be treated and to be polite. Sometimes, when I get nervous or insecure, I might overcompensate and might not be totally true to what I am feeling inside. But I get nervous and maybe too smiley and polite.

I have trouble with long-term things. I tend to get obsessed with stuff and then move on. Roles, songs, video games. That's why I was afraid of marriage. Because it was like a lifelong game of 'Madden.'

Even more than getting married or having kids, I found losing a parent is what thrusts you into adulthood. For me it was. That was when the Earth tilted on its axis, and there was a paradigm shift, and I felt like a different person.

Anything traumatic in my life I've always dealt with through jokes and comedy.

Embarrassment and awkward situations are not foreign things to me.

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.

I really tried for a while to go with the Adam Ant look.

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.

I love straight guys that seem gay. I'm a little like that.

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.

I don't feel like a dork, but I certainly have many moments of nerdism, and I embrace it wholeheartedly. I've always cottoned to that crowd more, anyway.

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

My wife is very stealth-funny. She'll come out with something when I'm not expecting it, and it'll just kill me.

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.'

I am so appreciative I have been able to continue not only doing something I love, but working on movies I've loved.
