I love insane, stupid comedy, but I can only make it work if it's a character I can give some history to and make real. Like the guy I played in 'Little Miss Sunshine.' He's a maniac, but to me he was absolutely believable.
I work out like a maniac and I spray tan a lot. Genetics were kind, but I work very hard.
My goal was to become the best dancer in the world and, because I started late, I always had this feeling I was playing catch-up, so I've been a bit of a maniac most of my life, sort of striving.
When it comes to work, I am focused. I work like a maniac.
To portray a maniac offers a compelling challenge.
Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today.
I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.
Trump is a maniac.
I was always very different from the other kids. I have an I.Q. of 156. I didn't play sports. I thought big. I thought I could achieve great things. I don't want to sound megalomaniac, but my whole life is about doing something for the world, from as far back as I can remember.
There was a reason my first substantial role after rehab was to play a maniac whose personal story ended badly. I knew what it was like to go those dark places. I played a guy who died as a result of his abuse.
