It's just a fact of life that I don't think I've ever been taken particularly seriously in movies by movie makers. I don't know why.

I don't take myself too seriously. I think that's something so many actors and people in general tend to do.

I think movie sets can often be stressful, and people take themselves very seriously.

Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies.

I don't make crappy movies. I spend two or three years making a film. I don't take myself seriously, but I take my movies very seriously.

So, one way or another, I found myself in a few movies. I take it seriously when I'm on the set, but I don't take myself seriously as an actor.

Regardless of what kind of film, the number one rule of comedy is to never take yourself too seriously and then the next rule is you can't have any self-consciousness, otherwise it kills the laugh, and that will never change.

I got completely fed up with that Hollywood blockbuster mentality. I couldn't take it seriously any longer.

I know that some actors take acting terribly seriously. I take it seriously in that if someone pays me to do it I know I have to deliver.
