I don't get offered many dramatic roles. As soon as my face pops up in a movie, everyone knows I'm the funny guy.
That's what keeps me up at three in the morning: Who's looking at reviews of Cabin Boy right now?
I think the whole idea of me was that I wasn't going to be but that I wanted to be, desperately.
Probably the most fun I've ever had, actually, acting. Because it was the perfect extension of the stuff that I'd started to do on Late Night With David Letterman, and when I look back on all my work, it was probably the best possible incarnation of Chris Elliott, of me.
I'm not a competitive person.
But I don't think I was ever destined to be a big star.
Somehow, by just continually pestering the general public by appearing on television, they accepted me and wanted more.
It was Mark. He took control. He set standards that had never been set.
