I can't do comedy that is cutting and vicious. If I knew I'd said something that was going to make someone feel bad, well, that supersedes everything.

[on his role in Scemo & più scemo - Iniziò così... (2003)] I like playing villains - villains that aren't that bright, you know?..Okay, this is the guy. I'm thinking I can finally bring some mustaches out of the drawer.This is set in the mid-'80s. Glasses down to here. And the mustache is somewhere between [Adolf Hitler] and ]Groucho Marx].

One of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I'm a comedian, which I'm not. A comedian is someone who can stand up in front of an audience and make you laugh. I've never done stand-up and I never will. I'm a comic actor. My comedy comes through my characters.

I would love to work with Sir Anthony Hopkins. How and why that would happen in a comedy I'm not sure--why he would be dragged over to my side, or I'd be be dragged over to his side.

At the end of the day, even if my part is a bit goofy, the key thing is that I'm doing what I love to do, and that's to make people laugh.

[on Jonathan Winters] He is every character in the scene, and he has a mind so entrenched in characters you actually believe each one is different. This is not only a comic genius at work--this is the epitome of character writing.

I don't do "wacky".
