Being in TV is insane. The notes you get sometimes, I just don't understand them.
I've never been into just really silly stuff.
I don't like to compare things to other things. It always sounds arrogant in print.
In the comedies I've been lucky enough to be a part of a world like Judd Apatow's, where I believe comedy comes from real people.
It's not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore; I'm no longer the underdog in that world.
I realized I never played a character that was skilled at anything, or skilled at anything that I couldn't become skilled at.
I'm a different actor than you thought I was. Don't put me in a box. I'm not just some kid running around screaming curse words.
I couldn't imagine someone playing me or writing a book about who I am. Although I let people write articles and try and express who I am, and it blows up wildly in my face.
The drama thing was something I've always wanted to do, but the opportunities are rare, and they have to be the right ones.
Luckily with animation, they give you a lot more leeway than a live-action show.
I am a filmmaker fanatic. I have never been star-struck by an actor once in my entire life.
When you create something you're free to explore it however you want to do it.
The comedy really comes from how badly you want these characters to succeed and with a comedy that's often hard.
I always say I want to eventually shift my career to directing and writing.
