I didn't really like the aloneness of doing stand-up. The comedians by nature weren't very - I mean, they were sociable, but they hung out in cliques, and it's very hard to get accepted; lots of competition.
From Steve Buscemi
I'd say that the director I had most involvement with was Alex Rockwell in 'In the Soup'. It was one of my earliest leading roles, and he gave me a lot of responsibility as an actor.
It's great working with Steve Carell and Jim Carrey. Those guys are really funny.
I had a magic kit. I never really followed through on it, but I had my phase of wanting to do it, sure.
I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it.
There's a certain type of character that you can't help but come in contact with growing up and living in Brooklyn and Long Island. A certain mixture of moxie, heart, and a wise guy sense of humor.
Every day's an adventure when I step out of my door. That's why I usually wear a hat and keep my head low.
I didn't think I'd ever be able to do movies. That was for serious actors.
I've never had a grand plan. I've only just tried to keep open to many different possibilities, have fun and work with people who are passionate about what they do.
I usually get freaked out if I'm in a situation where a lot of people recognise me at once.
