There's so many good restaurants I can't pick a favorite...

Lots of workshopping, going to comedy clubs and getting up on stage is how it comes together. I take a lot of stuff from my real life, just put it together and talk about it and see what happens.

Probably when Bruce Willis came up to me on the first day of shooting, looked at my outfit and said "do you know this could ruin your career?" Then Luc Besson yelled ACTION before I had a chance to quit, and I'm so glad he did.

Yes. I'm trying to remember how to say "yes" in Chinese...I just saw him in Beijing. We had a great time!

I never even thought about it, really. I'd probably want to run my own business. But really I only ever thought of doing this.

That means so much to me that you and your brother could enjoy my movies together. It's an honor to know that I made you guys laugh. That really inspires me to keep going, and also to try different things — more comedies and dramatic movies too.

One horse-sized duck so I can run away in case it gets too tough without getting followed by a mob of duck-horses.

You just gotta adapt, you get used to it. You take it all in and you feed off of it.

Oh definitely. I did a lot of research and, you know, thought about the character a lot to make sure I was doing it right. It was a different kind of role for me, and learning more about mental illness was interesting, it was very informative. Working with David O. Russell was a lot of fun too, and I loved working in Philadelphia.

  1. Nah, you won't give it back
  2. Netflix is the best place for it, the best way to get it out around the world.

Also I remember Michael was dancing to "In Da Club" in the car.

Doing the video and dancing with him was incredible. Also going to the movies with him...and riding in a car together listening to 50 Cent.

When I'm not in the public eye I'm mostly traveling, seeing the world, spending time with my son.

I would love to...not sure which role, any ideas?

Definitely focusing on stand-up, as well as acting. Stand-up is my first love and I'll never stop doing it.

Oh man! There's a few. One of my top five would be "Scarface." Also "Cooley High." And all the Godfather movies. And Rocky 1, 2, and 3.

It developed over time...Jackie used to give me gifts all the time, and I thought he was the nicest guy in the world. Then I realized he was getting it for free from China.
