It's tough for me to get rid of clothes. I grew up in a household with a limited budget and we really had to make our nice clothes last, and so now I'll get free pairs of shoes and this, that and the other and I'll be like, 'Oh great!'; even though it stresses me out that I don't have enough room to put them, I can't throw them away.
I just kind of have a comedic looking body, I guess. If anything I really have to exercise just to not look too fudgy, otherwise I would just keep going and going.
I don't really have aspirations to be Tom Hanks.
You know you can be having a bad day and someone will walk by and say: 'Hey, I love you, Will.' That really cheers you up. That's a really lovely thing.
What about Santa's cookies? I suppose 'parents' eat those, too?
I'm a cotton-headed ninny muggins.
A lot of the times you read something and you don't realize that you are going to have to do the things that you read.
I'm a selective pack rat. There's some things I have no problem getting rid of and others I hold onto dearly.
Enjoy the little fun things - like taking your kids to school - before they're all grown up.
I've always been noted for being original and doing different thing. So for me to hop on the train that's going on would be - shoot, if I wanted to hop on the train, I might as well have hopped on gangsta rap back when it was popular and tried to do that.
It's very easy for me to play silly, but to reveal something closer to you, that's so much harder.
It's nice to be in a place where I can be a little more selective, and to be sought out for ideas that I have.
You still have that competitive thing where you want to try to make hits. That won't go away, unless the mayor of show business says my time's up.
As you set off into the world, don't be afraid to question your leaders. But don't ask too many questions at one time or that are too hard because your leaders get tired and/or cranky.
