  • I just thought it could make a really cool movie. It's not that it's just a buddy comedy but it's all about two guys hating each other and towards the end they're good friends. I liked that these two guys were best friends from the very beginning, and they're crazy.

  • When 'American Pie' happened, I was so lucky to get that opportunity and I just tried to do a good job in that genre. But the films that inspired me as a kid were, like, Malcolm McDowall in 'A Clockwork Orange.' He was my hero.

  • I got my very last tattoo after my father died. I'm not getting anymore; otherwise I'll end up like Mike Tyson with a tattoo on my face.

  • I grew up in Minnesota and everyone is so nice there. It is like Fargo. Everyone's so chipper and you make friends just grocery shopping. We kill each other with kindness.

  • And getting stunt coordinator Dan Bradley and everybody from the whole 'Bourne Supremacy' crew, I think was real cool for our film because we do a bunch of really big jumps in this movie.

  • I would watch 'The Dukes of Hazzard' on loop. At one point I had 30 televisions in my bedroom and I would watch it over and over.

  • We don't have any CGI with any of the car stuff. I think it's a real experience when you see this car going through really fast really wild and you see me driving a lot of the times and also a big chase in downtown Atlanta. It's just incredible.

  • Working on the 'Ice Age' movies, I'm really proud to be in them.

  • Ever since the first 'American Pie,' I've always been happy to just have an opportunity, I just didn't think it was going to be with comedies. Now I really like it.

  • The surprising thing is that I was not funny in high school. I was always jealous of the funny kids because they always got the girls. I couldn't tell a joke to save my life.

  • I don't think I had a Catherine Bach poster, but I know a lot of my friends desecrated those, big time.

  • I thought it would be a lot of fun and I wasn't going to do the movie without Johnny. The studio suggested a couple people, and I'd never met Johnny, but I thought we'd be a perfect team for this movie because we're both a little bit unpredictable.

  • I live right next to a grocery store and I don't know if it's the bachelor in me, but I just go in and shop for what I need for the day. I'm an idiot because I don't shop for the whole week. The check out clerks always crack jokes about the fact that I'm in there sometimes twice a day.

  • I find that when you see somebody in the tabloids all the time, you have no desire to see them in movies.

  • Maybe I'll just become a cartoon character because there's nothing left for me to do in an R-rated comedy.

  • I tend to go for women with common sense. Being down to earth stands out more than looks.

  • I grew up in Minnesota.

  • I love everything Minnesota.

  • I draw to shock myself out of a too-easy rhythm - I may begin with no conception whatever, an image emerges . I rub it out and begin again, searching for its counterpart. When it appears I invariably find that the thing I draw is at my elbow, it is out of the window, or has been standing at my front door for a long time.

  • I'm cool with the way I look, I'm not an ugly dog, but I don't see myself as a stud or anything.

  • Anyone serious about playing indoor, you should play outdoor.

  • This was a really big opportunity. This script was even mediocre. The idea was great, but Jay came on with his guys made it great and very specific. It all came together well.

  • Wait a minute! I'm not interested in agriculture. I want the military stuff. During a briefing military stuff in which officials began telling him about missile silos.

  • My dad was diagnosed with cancer, so we ended up burying him a year to the day that he was diagnosed.

  • Every painting I do is related to the last one: it may be a continuation of a previous painting or it may be a reaction against it.

  • An act of thinking without restriction- without boundaries or rules can lead to the point of no return.

  • So the first thing that I thought about was, 'How is this car going to handle?' But then after I'd been driving with it and practicing with it and I accomplished that, then I just kind of sat back.

  • I don't really necessarily think I'm a funny guy, but I like the opportunity to take on something that I don't feel I'm the best at doing.

  • I was a total athlete. I loved sports, but when I realized I wasn't going to be a professional athlete, I realized I wanted to be in movies.

  • As I've gotten older, I've become attracted to things that have substance.

  • At times it's been weird because for the first phase of my career, I've been really well-known for a character that I was so not like and a character I never anticipated doing.

  • Everyone should walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. I did it three days in a row because it was one of the most exhilarating experiences I've ever had. The view is breathtaking.

  • I always think everything has been the best part of my life.

  • I consider myself to be a good guy so it's not hard for me to play that.

  • I don't do any amount of stunts.

  • I don't generally do movies that get good reviews.

  • I don't know anything about this engagement stuff. I never thought I was going to get engaged.

  • I don't know where the loyalty lies in baseball. You really don't have to protect each other much, unless there's like a bench-clearing brawl. In hockey, it's important that they look out for each other.

  • I don't really party.

  • I don't want to be known as a jerk forever.

  • I feel constricted if I become too much aware of the act of making. Liberty is lost and instead of an instinctual lyrical expression the whole thing becomes arid.

  • I grew up, probably like a lot of people, on cartoons. And I never thought I would have the chance to be in an animated movie. It's good also to show the world my sweet side with them.

  • I live in New York, where people don't tend to go up to actors as much.

  • I love being able to create something from the page and bring it to life.

  • I wish I had more confidence.

  • If I wasn't an actor and I watched my films, I could easily be like 'This guy's a clown,' you know?

  • I'm a big people-watcher. I love it. But I feel bad about it, because I always get caught!

  • I'm a much better singer than actor, which doesn't really say a whole lot.

  • I'm never afraid to try something if I think it's funny. And I know I'll regret it if I don't.

  • I'm not sure anybody's ready to see me in a drama. And loving movies so much, I've seen a lot of comics try to make that transition too fast, and it can be detrimental. And I don't think I've had as much success as I need in the comedy genre to open up those opportunities.

  • I'm still a big kid - I make mistakes all time.

  • I'm still trying to figure myself out as an actor.

  • I'm the kind of guy that if I don't work out, I will get bigger and look like one of the guys who used to play sports.

  • I'm the youngest of seven kids.

  • In high school I went on about three dates.

  • In L.A. everyone is in the entertainment industry, so you're forced to think about work.

  • There are a lot of movies I've done that come and go, and don't really establish a growing fan base.

  • There are certain filmmakers I'd like to work with that I don't think would take a risk with me, because I could be distracting in their film. It'll take a couple films to prove to them that it's worth the risk.

  • There's a lot of us idiot actors that get tattoos and they cover them with makeup when you do a film.

  • To do a sequel is so weird, you don't really think about it.

  • When I was in high school I was a super serious athlete. I wasn't fun at all.
