If I get no sleep the night before a show, I feel that performance is the best one.
The more people say nice things about me, the more I feel it's false.
I give credence to the worst things somebody writes about me, and if somebody writes something nice, I think they're wrong or false or lying or joking.
My hope is to never act again and just do press.
The only way to be turned off to being famous is to be famous. And I only have like a tiny, tiny bit of that, and I'm already disgusted by it. But I realize that the only way to be disgusted by fame is to be famous, because otherwise it looks amazing. Then people stop you on the street, and it's like the most annoying thing in the world. The first time it happened it's great, and then the second time you have to shake somebody's hand...
Everyone's a geek in some way or other. Everyone's an outsider.
I feel like when I was 13 and I had to go to bar mitzvahs every weekend. This is the same feeling. You have to put on a suit every weekend to go meet with a bunch of Jews.
It's a struggle for me to watch things I've been in because I'm just distracted and self-critical.
It's really hard to copy another actor and be successful. In fact, that's usually the reason people are not good, because they're copying something they've seen, but, for some reason with their face and their body, it doesn't work.
It's very hard to be a playwright because it's very competitive.
I purposefully isolate myself from anything that has to do with any press. I don't read any press about myself.
I personally don't feel the need to be radical for its own sake, but I probably couldn't if I tried anyway.
If you're acting, then there's a prescribed way to behave; whereas in life there's no prescribed way. So acting feels like a comfortable way to get through the day.
I'm hardly the most notable person in 'Zombieland.' The other actors in it are way more famous than I am.
