Ever since the first 'American Pie,' I've always been happy to just have an opportunity, I just didn't think it was going to be with comedies. Now I really like it.
I was a total athlete. I loved sports, but when I realized I wasn't going to be a professional athlete, I realized I wanted to be in movies.
I don't really party.
I got my very last tattoo after my father died. I'm not getting anymore; otherwise I'll end up like Mike Tyson with a tattoo on my face.
The longest road trip I've ever been on is from Minnesota to Los Angeles.
You have to have fear to take risks - and I want to at least try.
I just thought it could make a really cool movie. It's not that it's just a buddy comedy but it's all about two guys hating each other and towards the end they're good friends. I liked that these two guys were best friends from the very beginning, and they're crazy.
The surprising thing is that I was not funny in high school. I was always jealous of the funny kids because they always got the girls. I couldn't tell a joke to save my life.
You know, I've always wanted to do dramas.
I try to make the best of the opportunities that have been given to me.
To do a sequel is so weird, you don't really think about it.
When I was maybe like, under 10 years old, I was kind of like a maniac.
In L.A. everyone is in the entertainment industry, so you're forced to think about work.
I'm still trying to figure myself out as an actor.
I'm the youngest of seven kids.
I've been doing comedies but I'm not a comedian.
I grew up in Minnesota.
I live right next to a grocery store and I don't know if it's the bachelor in me, but I just go in and shop for what I need for the day. I'm an idiot because I don't shop for the whole week. The check out clerks always crack jokes about the fact that I'm in there sometimes twice a day.
I wanted to make people feel the same way I feel when I see a good movie.
I've definitely been typecast, but I have time to do other things and I was glad to have the chances I did.
I don't think I had a Catherine Bach poster, but I know a lot of my friends desecrated those, big time.
When 'American Pie' happened, I was so lucky to get that opportunity and I just tried to do a good job in that genre. But the films that inspired me as a kid were, like, Malcolm McDowall in 'A Clockwork Orange.' He was my hero.
This was a really big opportunity. This script was even mediocre. The idea was great, but Jay came on with his guys made it great and very specific. It all came together well.
There are a lot of movies I've done that come and go, and don't really establish a growing fan base.
Working on the 'Ice Age' movies, I'm really proud to be in them.
