One person with the ability of half a person doing the work of four people.
My maternal grandma was a tough, tough lady and a stern woman, who lost her husband young and raised six kids by herself. She lived in a mining community in Upstate New York and ran a boarding house for miners. She took care of an entire family and miners who lived in the house as well.
I think ultimately, when you believe somebody is going through a situation and it's either awkward or ridiculous, but you believe it, that can be funny.
People know where romantic comedies are going. It's not brain surgery to figure out the end of a romantic comedy.
Because I went from the Daily Show where I was a fake news guy on a fake news show to Bruce Almighty where I played a news guy to Anchorman where I played a news guy, now I'm...yeah, I tend to gravitate towards suits.
I can get lazy. I don't think I'm a very driven person. When I have work, I work very hard. But when I don't work, I really don't do anything. I could easily just fade away.
I don't feel that I have to control every aspect of things that I appear in. You learn a lot performing someone else's writing.
An office is a place to... live life to the fullest. To the max. To... an office is a place where dreams come true.
It's not a master plan to do every remake and every recreation of icons. It's just what I've been hired to do.
Talking to my wife, we stare at each other, saying, 'How is this happening? Why is this happening? Why now?' It's nothing I ever aspired to.
In my role of agent for Miss Hathaway, I would like to say that she does not answer questions relating to this subject.
It's interesting when you're trying to create a character in animation. It's really a communal effort.
I don't even know if I have kind of a personal, like a take or a mental manual of how I'm raising kids. It's really - I think with everybody, it's just day-to-day and you just try to deal with every situation as they come.
People generally have sex fairly young, and probably younger than they should be having it.
I love my wife dearly, and, therefore, I've never cooked a meal, romantic or otherwise, for her.
Being an action star is all I had ever hoped to be. I ultimately knew I would be an action star.
I am happily married, and I think I was lucky that success came a little later in my life. It's difficult to handle all the attention when you are a young gun.
Everybody wants to be a Bond villain. That is the coolest. To be able to portray a Bond villain, that is the feather in any actor's cap.
For the better part of my adult life, I proudly avoided nerd/nimrod/goober status. I was always just cool enough.
[And on going from character to leading actor] I don't approach anything differently; I just approach it as a character. I'm always astounded at the fact that I've ever played a leading character in anything [Laughs]. And my wife concurs with that, frankly. She always thought I would be, at best, the wacky neighbor on a sitcom, so this is all just a surprise and a joy.
Goalies almost never get credit for winning a game, but they always get blamed for losing a game.
It's harder when people are playing along, because it's just not as funny. They're trying to be funny, and it sort of cancels out the whole joke.
People just like to be on camera. There's a huge desire to be in front of the camera, and once there, people will say and do almost anything. It's sort of a drug, and I think people get addicted to it.
Some people just derive great joy from making other people laugh. And I do, but I don't feel like I need to do it 24 hours a day.
I am a patriot and I want to see this country [the USA] soar again.
