I don't feel any need to play the role of the clown. In my private life I take a break from humor.

It's kind of fun to be a clown. I've always played the clown. The clowns come on, get the biggest, juiciest laughs, and then leave.

I was always a clown. In the eighth grade I won a city speech contest by doing an Eddie Murphy routine. I'm no good at public speaking, but if I can assume a role and speak as that person, then I'm fine. When I had to give a book report, I always did it in character.

I was never the class clown or anything like that. When I was growing up and doing theatre in Seattle I was always doing very dramatic work. Now I can't get a dramatic role to save my life!

I'm very serious about acting.

I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments.

I take being a role model very seriously.

I've always been a clown trapped in a leading man's body.
