I don't dismiss the music that I was involved with I don't think it was a joke I don't think it was funny or a phase I don't think it was just something I was doing back then to me it was who I am. It connects all the way through. I don't distance myself from any of it.

I think sometimes my humor is extremely dry and a lot of times I would say things that I thought were very funny but... I have a reputation of - people think of me as a very fundamentalist humorless fellow.

I do find comedy difficult. I don't know why. Maybe I think about it too much. There's a tremendous amount of pressure to be funny.

It's sort of an action flick. You can't be that funny trying to steal diamonds.

For a Catholic kid in parochial school the only way to survive the beatings - by classmates not the nuns - was to be the funny guy.

One of the things I like about acting is that in a funny way I come back to myself.

I think there's something in the fact that it's hard to be good looking and funny. You have to have an oddball quality people have to sympathise with you to find you funny.

Scream was great for what it was. For a horror film it was intelligent it was funny it took a laugh at itself.

Comedy is surprises so if you're intending to make somebody laugh and they don't laugh that's funny.

I actually was class clown but I don't know how that happened because I've never been considered an outwardly funny person.
