When I'm filming survival requires movement. You need your energy and you've got to eat the bad stuff and survival food is rarely pretty but you kind of do it. I get in that zone and I eat the nasty stuff but I'm not like that when I'm back home.

My food is Louisiana New Orleans-based well-seasoned rustic. I think it's pretty unique because of my background being influenced by my mom Portuguese and French Canadian. There's a lot going on there.

I say grace. I'm a big believer in grace. I happen to believe in a God that made all the food and so I'm pretty grateful for that and I thank him for that. But I'm also thankful for the people that put the food on the table.

Overall I think I'm in pretty good shape but I'm not really someone that is gung-ho or a fitness fanatic.

Hats have been my thing pretty much my whole life but finance has not. I would go to the corner store and buy really cheap baseball style caps and wear those to school.

I think there's a lot projected on beautiful women period. At least maybe this is just my fear but I do sometimes feel dismissed before I've even been allowed to participate. I have moments of feeling really wounded. But I am pretty optimistic and I do enjoy a lot of my life.

President Obama's 100-day plan is pretty impressive. I think it's a Wow 100-plus days. The administration is not operating from fear it is trying to drive change for the future and that's a good thing.

You can ask me pretty much anything. There'll be things I'll go 'That feels a little too personal.' But most things I don't have a fear of being asked about.

I am pretty fearless and you know why? Because I don't handle fear very well I'm not a good terrified person.

On the other hand when I give it closer thought I realize I'm not enough of a dictator to conduct an orchestra because it requires a pretty awful person. When you read these biographies of famous conductors they are all awful people who fail in their private relationships.

It was pretty frightening because as we all know when large famous groups breakup a lot of the members don't survive in solo careers.

My wife Elizabeth and I started The Really Terrible Orchestra for people like us who are pretty hopeless musicians who would like to play in an orchestra. It has been a great success. We give performances we've become the most famous bad orchestra in the world.

There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person that would be pretty boring.

I know I have this level of celebrity of fame international national whatever you want to call it but it's a pretty surreal thing to think sometimes that you're in the middle of another famous person's life and you think to yourself 'How the hell did I get famous? What is this some weird club that we're in?'

There's a definite responsibility that comes with being famous. You shouldn't be able to just dress up and look pretty.

My favorite thing about being famous... it's not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough doing interviews and all the stuff. It's still pretty tough.

I was the youngest of my entire family so you are tap-dancing to try to get the attention of your older cousins. I really hit my social stride in 6th grade but before that I was a pretty big dork. You learn how to be amusing and how to work for it.

What I want to do is tell stories about normal people in the American suburbs. I don't write the book where it's a conspiracy reaching the prime minister I don't write the book with the big serial killer who lops off heads. My setting is a very placid pool of suburbia family life. And within that I can make pretty big splashes.

I think it's been a little difficult at times for the audience because they've told me they see me as a family member. So to see your little sister sing about sex... I think they are pretty used to it now.

I'm not ready to get married but I have a pretty great family and I'd like that too someday.

I did come from a pretty independent-minded family.

I grew up in a family that was multifaceted sexually oriented and pretty much open to everything. And because I was working my friends were all adults. I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day.

Probably the worst time in a person's life is when they have to kill a family member because they are the devil. But otherwise it's been a pretty good day.

People are pretty forgiving when it comes to other people's families. The only family that ever horrifies you is your own.
