amazing great large parts quite
What do I think of L.A.? It's boring, with some amazing nuggets. Like there are some parts of it that are great, but by and large I think it's quite boring.
friendship thinking hills
I can only think of one wacky best friend who I thought was awesome: Rhys Ifans in 'Notting Hill.' He really nailed the wacky best friend.
effort stage bigs
There's something funny about being on a big stage and not making a big effort to fill it up
difficult-situations difficult situation
There are a lot of difficult situations that lead to awkwardness.
tvs grew grew-up
I grew up in front of a TV.
jobs writing boring
The writing is just a boring job. It's just a horrible job.
guitar going-out porch
I'm actively going out onto the porch and noodling around on my guitar.
real keys sick
In real life I'm very low-key. A wallflower. One of the reasons I went into comedy and acting was that I was sick of being shy.
real pawns shoppers
I'm a real pawn-shopper.
book imagination stuff
The book is even quirkier, but it's hard to bring all of that stuff to a movie. With a book, you use your imagination more and create your own way to make it all make sense.
sci-fi grew wells
Well, I grew up in the '80s, which was a really massive time for sci-fi.
grandma mum raised
I'm part Maori. My mum's Maori, and she raised me. And my grandma, she's Maori.
new-york cities creative
I miss the city Bret and I live in, Wellington. It's a good place to be creative, in the same way New York is.
character play trying
I try to have a balance of things you like and things you don't like about a character. But once you start that, all these scripts are like, "You play the douchebag friend of Ashton Kutcher." It's all these characters that are overconfident or hyper-masculine.
