It's always better to shock people and change people's expectations than to give them exactly what they think you can do. it's not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore; i'm no longer the underdog in that world. not that i'm great or good at it or anything, it's just that i've done a bunch of them, so you're not shocked.

Everybody loves the underdog, and then they take an underdog and make him a hero and they hate him. but as long as they can knock you back down, it seems like if you're an underdog again, and things do surface, and they think this is real, 'these guys' intentions are genuine and sincere,' it seems like they will embrace you again.

America champions the underdog. we champion the underdog until he's not the underdog anymore, and he annoys us.

We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. but sometimes our expectations sell us short. sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. you got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. standing. still. the expected's just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.

It's not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore; i'm no longer the underdog in that world.

When someone who is known as a comedic actor goes to drama, it often doesn't work out, because they really just chose wrong, i think - or maybe they're just not good actors. for me it's important making that transition seamless, and not a huge shock and jumping into cold water. it doesn't feel like i'm trying to shock you or anything. i'm just saying, "i'm a different actor than you thought i was. don't put me in a box. i'm not just some kid running around screaming curse words." i have other tastes besides comedy. i love comedy, but i love dramatic movies just as much.
