I don't like nihilistic characters. As bad guys they're great, but as heroes they don't work.
When I look in the mirror, I see someone who's happy with how he looks, because I was never one of the handsome Hollywood people. And I've had success as I've gotten older, because I'm able to play characters. I no longer get the girl, but I get the part.

My characters are all kind of geek archetypes of people I've encountered at gaming and comic book conventions.
I never used to kill characters, because I thought killing characters was cheating.
I base all my characters on hair.
The best shows are always the ones that are very, very low-concept and just about great characters.
There's the theory that nudity doesn't really make something sexy; the characters and their relationship make it sexy.
I love a large cast of characters. That's the way life is: it's flooded with people and we keep them all straight.
The world is full of fictional characters looking for their stories
Adam Sandler is truly brilliant. He plays these goofy characters, but he is a brilliant fellow.
