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.

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.

It's okay to take yourself too seriously if you're a serious actor and you've got the scrubs on. And then with me, it's kind of like, well, I'm a comedian, I'm making fun of everybody and everything. And I'm making fun of myself. I'm having fun making fun of and for other people.

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.

It's just acting. I take acting seriously but up to a point.

I have never taken myself that seriously as an actor.

Acting is a very limited form of expression and those who take it seriously are very limited people. I take it seriously.

I really take acting seriously.

I don't even take myself seriously, so how could I possibly take Hollywood seriously?

I think, you know, as an actor we get these terribly sort of pretentious ideas in our heads. We try to take everything very seriously at first, you know, until we lighten up, we get onboard, and have a laugh.
