“I know that I am not entitled to anything, and when somebody thinks they are, that's a step in the wrong direction.”
“'Step Brothers' itself, when I did it, I don't know if I had any idea that it would become a defining moment in my career and life like it has, and I'm really happy that that's the one that ended up being that for me.”
“I remember getting out of acting school and friends of mine talking about, like, 'You know, I don't think I'm gonna do TV.' Like, people putting on these airs of being picky. And I was never a snob about it.”
“No, I don't regret doing anything, and, you know, at the time, 'Monster-in-Law' was... I was so excited to get that part. I got to be in a big movie for a few months. I got work, and everybody on it was really nice, and it was a fun experience.”
“I mean, I love action films, you know, good action films.”
“Amy Adams was great to work with, fun and lovely.”
“I love a good, poppy chorus.”
“If I had gotten the parts in 'Scream' or 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' I would not have been very good in them, and I would've squandered whatever success I had gotten because I wasn't ready for that sort of thing. So I feel grateful for all of the years that I have behind me trying to get traction and a career.”
“I love the people I work with and the stuff I've found and that's found me.”
“One line on a Tom Selleck sitcom does not a career make.”

“I was trying to get an audition for 'Walker, Texas Ranger' and they wouldn't see me. And I was crestfallen, because I really needed money. And to be told you're not good enough to be seen by 'Walker, Texas Ranger' is a tough blow.”
“I would be horrified to watch whatever I was doing on 'Party Of Five.' I'm sure I'm bad on it.”
“I thought I would be a dramatic actor - everyone starts that way.”
“I think 'Party Down' found its audience primarily on Netflix and stuff like that, and primarily after it had been cancelled.”
“I'm an R.E.M. nerd and have been since I was 14.”
“AirPods have squirmed their way into my life. I use them every day, and I always know where they are and if they're charged or not.”
“I can't imagine my wife and I ever splitting up. I can't imagine a life without her.”
“I just like staying at home and eating and watching movies and running around in the back yard.”
“It is not like casting me in your movie is going to help you get financing.”
