  • Quotes
    (On filming Anchorman) With Anchorman, the thing I loved the most was that we all understood that something special was coming together while we were shooting, almost to the point where we didn't want to break it up. I remember having conversations with Steve Carell and Paul Rudd and all of us opining "Wow, this feels pretty good." And not wanting to overstate it, almost as if we'd jinx it. I mean look, you think every movie's gonna work, right? You think every movie has great potential. But that one in particular, it felt like, man, every cylinder was poppin'. We shot enough for two movies, you know.
    • Often plays brash, loudmouth characters
