Basically, what happened was, I had moved out to Los Angeles, I was pretty damn lazy and I put on some pounds.

People would see me on a Nickelodeon commercial, and I would hear about it the next day in school.

In order for American Pie to have worked, you have to have a character who, even while he is humping a pie, the audience still likes.

We all approached doing a sequel with great trepidation and skepticism.

We all had our reservations about possibly overdoing it but, you know, the script was great. Basically it stuck to the formula that worked for the first two movies, and for that reason I think this works as well.

I'm just glad I got to work with the likes of Spielberg.

But once I went for it, left my inhibitions aside and saw its eventual success, it made me much more comfortable and eager THIS time around to take it to a whole new level.

But then, I just decided to get off my lazy butt and take advantage of the L.A. weather.

Well, I'm never happier than when I'm acting.

I was nervous and hesitant about putting myself out there for the pie scene. But I went for it and the results were wonderful.

Well, I'm proud to say American Pie was the kind of crazy, gross-out film that guys thought was the greatest.

But I did have two months off between Loser and the start of Prozac Nation. So, it was supposed to be Jason time, right? My time to enjoy myself away from movies.

Something about being projected on a 70 foot screen makes you more attractive and appealing to the opposite sex, which is pretty scary.

Stuff with a group, stuff where there are other people around, I'll try that.

I love playing Jim. I love working with this cast and the opportunity to come back and work with them again was just way too appealing for me. Also, I think this is a great way to wrap up the franchise.

Like anyone who goes to college, you're leaving a familiar surrounding and a comfortable environment and your friends and everything, and you're starting fresh. It can be pretty daunting.

Physical comedy is my favorite thing in the world to do.

But because it was able to balance that kind of humor with a sweet story and characters you really rooted for and also got across the girls' point of view, I've heard nothing but great things from younger and older females as well.

I've heard every pie joke in the book. I'm still waiting for an original one.

My position now, especially in this town, adds an element of skepticism with people you meet - especially girls. I mean, it becomes a lot more difficult.

I like to think what I bring to the table is kind of a sympathetic and endearing quality, even while I'm playing outcasts or characters that end up in outlandish situations.

I don't know if you'll see me jumping out of planes anytime soon.

A split second is nothing compared to twenty-four hours. On God's clock you're in the middle of your millisecond. Compared to eternity, what is seventy, eighty, ninety years?

Those who have the most wealth and the most property, their children have the first, the best, and the most.

Honestly, acting is the most work when you're unemployed. For me, the actual acting part is never hard. It's the politics and basically everything around the acting that is difficult.

That doll looks more like a black man than me.

Divorce is like cutting off a gangrened arm to save the rest of the body.

Dinner is to a day what dessert is to dinner.

I really was very impressed with DMX during the whole experience on 'Romeo Must Die.' I like working with him. I liked him. And I was very impressed with the reaction of the audience when he was in the picture.

A Rube Goldberg machine is, in its essence, a trial-and-error thing.

My life has been the antithesis of that book 'The Secret'. I've always been interested in doing what I do. I love storytelling and I really enjoyed acting, but it never seemed like a realistic thing.

I think leather pants are just better than jeans onstage; they give the performance a nice attitude, and they are also shockingly comfortable. Comfort is key.

I think I'm really good at forgetting about golf when I'm off the golf course.

Quite honestly I never had a desire to be an actor. I tell people, 'I did not choose acting; acting chose me.' I never grew up wanting to be an actor. I wanted to play football.

I am deeply honored by the trust the board has placed in me to lead Duke Energy. I have a high degree of confidence in the strength of our company's leadership and dedicated employees.

A remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good in spite of all the people who say he is very good.

There I was limited to what happened the same way I am with Riel. It doesn't feel like a great burden to have your story, to some degree, set. I am enjoying figuring out what I think is the most dramatic way of telling this set of historical facts.

Along with enough sleep and taking proper supplements, I steam - in my steam shower. I find it's very healing, more than just your typical 'tea and honey.'

The extremes of jungles, mountains, and deserts are inherently dangerous places.

As soon as you plow, you're releasing carbon.
