Let an audience be able to find it themselves without spoonfeeding it.
I don't know if I ever really considered making a connection with the audience.
I thought he was an interesting central figure, central character, one who is definitely not your typical central character figure in a film, who's easy to like. He's not easy to like. It forces you to involve yourself with what's going on.
My only job as an actor is to try and understand the character and, to the best of my ability, bring this character to life.
Tick is a cartoon character, I don't know if you're familiar with him. This is the third step in his evolution. Comic book to cartoon to, now, live-action.
I'll work with Jerry Seinfeld any day of the week. Get a nice little paycheck there, but you do it for free. It's just good to be associated with that man. He's a great guy.
The greatest risk is really to take no risk at all. You've got to go out there, jump off the cliff, and take chances.
I believe I'm doing the right thing in trying to step away from that and to take chances and work on little independent films and do stuff like that wild dance scene.
I do believe that we have the opportunity to continue - I repeat myself over and over again with this - to redefine and reinvent ourselves and as long as we do that, then I think we've got some pretty good odds in our favor, because we're not always presenting the same thing.
He'd never seen Seinfeld, so he didn't know who Puddy was or anything.
