We all have this fantasy of finding our one true love who's going to be the perfect fit. It's just not a reality.

I've fallen prey to my fair share of moments of the phobias of others and the way that that can become an attack.

My mum was a child minder, but now she fosters. My dad was in the police force, and now he's a private detective.

I'm so glad cities have personalities, just like people have personalities. That's something that makes me smile.

I can't relax. I'm not happy unless I'm working on stuff. 'SNL' is always a huge workload, as enjoyable as it is.

I still don't have a publicist. If I'm in a film, you have an obligation to promote it, I'll do as much as I can.

I feel like we're constantly getting better musically, and more of what's in my heart and head is coming through.

A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.This was said by gene wilder ... what does it mean ?

I grew up in the world of bad television, on my dad's sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on.

I love a girl with a good sense of humour, who is confident but who has a sweetness to her - that melts my heart.

If I can look at each character that I am given and create them in a different way from the last role, I'm happy.

Talking to the British about sex is like talking to Americans about reading. Nobody does it so why talk about it?

My hunger and desperation, being an actor, an out of work actor - my memory of that is as fresh as an open wound.

There's a sense of humor within the Australian culture that prevails when one is in a rather difficult situation.

I went to New York University to study experimental theatre in 2006 and was there pretty consistently until 2011.

The man who tries to be funny is lost. To lose one's naturalness is always to lose the sympathy of your audience.

Casting is a convoluted kind of trip. No one likes to be typed - even if you're a cab driver, or whatever you do.

It doesn't have to be a problem for children to be fat, but it does affect you: you aren't as happy in that skin.

I don't see how you can give someone who lied to the extent that he did a second chance in the same line of work.

There is no Yoda-there's no one who points you in the right direction. You've got to figure that out by yourself.

I look at life and I see some very happy relationships, but I also see the vast majority as not being that happy.

I've always been able to sense the relationship between two people based on how one person says the other's name!

That's what I am; I'm a drip. You still get hydrated, you still get your nutrients, just a little at a damn time.

My parents divorced when I was seven. Because divorce is messy, for good or ill, they sent me to boarding school.

For every person that likes you there is going to be a person that doesn't like you. It's the nature of humanity.

Dad was never a Mr. Mum-type of person who'd stay at home. It was a big thing when he was home - he was a circus.

People have often asked if I'm gay because I don't go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude.

I think at a certain point actors need to start taking responsibility for the kinds of stories they want to tell.

I just gravitate to those more testosterone-filled sort of parts than me playing something a bit more fairy-like.

Many people out there don't have a choice, in choosing their friends and the people they're being manipulated by.

People always ask us, 'Hey, is there going to be a 'Beerfest 2'?' I don't know if I have another beer joke in me.

Ghana is one of the countries in Western Africa that still has quite a few of their slave castles still standing.

Donald Trump is a danger for the world, and I will do everything to oppose the fear and hate that has settled in.
