Usually I Don't Like To Act In

As You Get Older, All Those Dumb Clichés, They're All True. You Only Have A Certain Amount Of Time Left, And You Should Only Spend It Doing The Things That You Want To Do. It's All True.

Hollywood Is One Of Those Places Where, Traditionally, Money Has Come From - Along With New York, Texas, Florida, Silicon Valley In Northern California And The Unions. But Because Of The Internet And The Way Campaigns Are Financed These Days, You Don't Need Traditional Financing As Much As You Used To - And Barack Obama Has Tapped Into That In A Big Way. But At The End Of The Day, People In Hollywood Care More About [the Presidency] Than Just The Trappings Of It And The Surface Type Stuff. They Care About The Issues.

When You Do Improv, You're Everything. You're A Performer, Writer, And Director, Because You're Moving The Scene In The Direction You Want It To Go, You're Making It Up As You Go, And You're Acting It. You're All Of Those Things, So I Always Viewed Myself That Way. And With The Films I've Done, I've Written On Them, I've Acted In Some Of Them. And Even Ones I Haven't Acted In, I've Acted Them Out Just To Be Sure Another Actor Can Do Them.

You Never Know If Anything Is Going To Stand The Test Of Time Or Going To Be Successful.
