By definition, gay is smart. I see plenty of macho heterosexual idiots, but nine times out of 10 you can have a great conversation if you find a gay guy.

Will Arnett is one of the funniest guys I know. He has seen it all and done it all and come out the other end pretty savvy and pretty strong.

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 was just a lot smarter about not getting caught. I mean, I never stuck anything in my arm, but I certainly enjoyed my youth.

A straight factor is important in any comedy, because you need something to tee it up and also to ground it.

If people are going to complain about stereotyping, it's as likely to be Italian-Americans as gay people.

I have a tendency to evolve into William Shatner, with my big fat face.

Obviously, I did a couple of things right on the old casting couch.

I just love doing sitcoms. I'd be in them till I was gray if they'd have me.

I don't have anything to fix! I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I don't eat carbs. My life is just great now. Normal. Vanilla.

Tony Hale is a devout Christian and is a complete retard when it comes to swearing. The script called for him to swear for about 30 seconds and he just couldn't do it.

By definition, gay is smart. I see plenty of macho heterosexual idiots, but nine times out of 10 you can have a great conversation if you find a gay guy.

I'm in a little bit of a different situation, because working in the business that I do and living in the city that I live in, I haven't had a problem with people who are gay. Since I was 10 I've been working alongside them, and some of my best friends are gay.

Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.

Acting in something that I'm directing... I'm really enjoying it because, if for no other reason, that particular acting is like reading my mind on every single take. It's kind of efficient, for better or worse.

Acting is just playing the violin in an orchestra. Directing is being the conductor.

Actors are sellers, and I figured out a long time ago that if you wanted to work a lot, you had to be on the buying side.

And I've always loved commercials. I like working out how to organically weave a brand's message into the writing process. It's like an improv show, where comics ask the audience to throw out a word and a skit is built around it.

As disciplined as I am, I'm also a huge hedonist.

Directing films is incredibly exciting to me.

Do you want to continue being great at being in your twenties, or do you want to step up and graduate into adulthood?

Guys like Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Sacha Baron Cohen, they do things you love to watch. I like to do the other half.

I became an adult before I had a kid, which I highly recommend. I just like to throw her around. She's a really good snuggler, and she likes to give kisses and hugs.

I can't assume that my kid is going to make the best decision all the time.

I did a good bit of episodic television directing, but directing a movie is so much more complicated.

I didn't really watch 'Beavis & Butt-head' that much or 'King of the Hill,' but I was a huge 'Office Space' fan.

I don't feel sorry for people in the public eye getting eyed by the public.

I don't really find a problem with technology or television or anything. I'm a product of it. I grew up watching TV, and I don't think I'm too dumb or too crazy.

I don't want to be obnoxious with my ambition or sound like I expect any sort of entitlement here. Hollywood is not in the business of humoring people.

I don't worry about people misinterpreting my kindness for weakness.

I enjoy editing when I'm directing, but when someone else is directing, that's their film to cut.

I feel incredibly fortunate I walked away, took care of other business, and then came back to show business.

I guess there's nothing funny about a guy who looks conservative and has it all together, but it's satisfying to see a conservative guy crumbling inside, and I think a lot of American comedy has cottoned on to that.

I have to warn you: I bet horses like a girl.

I haven't met a lot of 'Hogan Family' fans.

I just think technology is pretty amazing. Like all things that are great, you have to be responsible about how much you use it.

I like to give my daughter some rope and let her make her own decisions.

I look at whatever the finish line is for the character and then kind of act backwards from that and play him in such a way so that that finish line is more rewarding.

I looked around at the relationships that were the longest in my life, and they were the ones I had with my friends. I thought, 'If I only wanted to get married once, I should probably marry a friend.'

I love a massage. I'd go every day if I could. I don't need to be wrapped in herbs like a salmon fillet, but I do love a massage.

I never looked at fan mail, for some reason. My mother and grandmother handled my mail - although it's not like I was ever in the stratosphere of Kirk Cameron or Scott Baio.

I only wanted to get married once, so when I felt I was ready to handle it, I looked at my relationships and noticed that boyfriends get tired of girlfriends, and vice versa, but you never get tired of your friends.

I owe everything to 'Arrested Development.' It just shows that everybody is kind of a job away from having relevance again.

I played a ton of team sports growing up, and team wins are just incredibly gratifying.

I really appreciate comedy a lot.

I really empathise with some of my peers who had success in the early years; then it dries up, and so there's no reason to get up in the morning.

I really enjoy playing that everyman part because that part is us, the audience. And you need somebody inside a comedy to tether the absurdity to reality.

I remember my dad working with me on breaking down my script and writing out a back story for my character and all that stuff.

I think I'm actually much too shy to do any performance art. I admire the big swings those guys take, but I'm not a one-man band.
