Mike Myers as Austin Powers makes me laugh - that was genius - and Daffy Duck makes me laugh, but I like odd behavior. I don't like hip dialogue and one-liners and all that sort of cool, sophomoric comedy. It's just not for me.

Jason Lee is the most famous actor from Hawaii I can think of.

A comedian's body is funny as well as his mind being funny, his whole personage is funny.

I'm sure everyone that has ever done an action movie has just drooled over how full of talent Bruce Lee was and how unique he was.

When I talk to Steve Martin, he's joyful when he talks about comedy.

It's the most amazing cast, a dream cast. We laugh all the time.

That's where humour lives for me. In the body. The Steve Martin kind of stuff or Jim Carrey, that's what I like. I've always felt that's what I would like to do.

Things that make me laugh range from a wonderful stand-up like Jerry Seinfeld, Louis C.K. and Chris Rock to my son Gabe, who does great improv work. I also look backwards to the great comedic actors like Jackie Gleason, Paul Lynde and Phil Silvers.

There's something about Alan Arkin. Even when he's doing nothing, he makes me laugh. I've always had that reaction to him: he's got a weary world-view that makes him perfectly cast.
