The very first thing we talked about was tone,
So, at least the way I saw it, those first six episodes, we were very new as characters to this documentary crew, so we were more awkward with the crew ... And now that the crew has been there for a while, we're sort of getting used to them and playing to them and getting a little more confident in terms of how we use the camera.
Just the idea of him with a love interest is mind-boggling, ... I don't know how it could be handled.
We've already shot two episodes, and I'm going back soon to shoot a third,
'Anchorman'... is not grounded in anything. There is absolutely no heart to that movie, which I love.
I ate fiberglass insulation. It wasn’t cotton candy like the guy said… my tummy itches.
When someone is good, but it doesn't seem like their world will collapse if they don't get the part, it's more appealing. It's like dating someone: You don't want someone who's too into you.
Because I went from the 'Daily Show' where I was a fake news guy on a fake news show, to 'Bruce Almighty' where I played a news guy, to 'Anchorman' where I played a news guy, now I'm... yeah, I tend to gravitate towards suits.
My parents had a certain resolve to them that I don't see as so prevalent today. Through good times and bad, they were committed to one another. Their relationship wasn't something to be constantly examined or picked apart.
When I auditioned for the part, I had no idea how beloved the BBC version was. If I had known, I would have been scared out of my mind. I just wanted to do something funny and slightly different. I didn't want to be held up to a TV icon.
