[on advice he receives from his father, Jerry Stiller] My father is always telling me to take care of myself and get a lot of rest. He's always saying, "Sleep will fix anything. Go take a nap". I think he's right. I find when I get frazzled, if I get a good night's sleep, I feel much better about things.
If my parents were, like, plumbers, who knows what I would be doing?
There's an old saying in Hollywood: It's not the length of your film, it's how you use it.
I have no problem with straight actors playing gay, but I always feel like I can tell. Does that sound horrible?
I pay a huge chunk of money to my agent and publicity people to shield me from my fan mail. I don't even want to know how many letters I get. I don't see fan mail as a good thing. It always makes me think of stalkers.
