I have a lot of energy, and I move around a lot in my club act.
I guess I'm probably a Method actor; I don't know... I just think of it as staying in the zone.
I didn't go to church all the time, just 'cause I was an antsy kid.
I didn't do it to say I wanted to do something for my child. ... If I didn't think it was good, I wouldn't have done it.
I don't know - sometimes I catch myself being dark, and it's annoying. I think, 'Get over it.' I bore myself. But sometimes, like everybody, I'm sure I am obsessive.
Have I ever been to a party with a ton of famous people in it? Yes, several times, so I guess that's a Hollywood lifestyle.
Guys who go on and on about loving women usually don't.
I always knew the way in was Bruce Wayne. It wasn't Batman. It was never Batman. That was the key.
I always think that I'm not going to be right for a movie or that there's someone else who can do it better.
I always thought what made 'Beetlejuice' look so great was because it looked like some genius kid made it in his basement.
I can't sleep the first night in a hotel room.
I come from a background where you don't really talk about yourself much.
No, I don't see many movies. I don't even see my own movies.
People, when they talk or write about comedy, they don't really get it.
