When you're accustomed to doing stand-up, so often you're the only person onstage and it's all your thing. It's very gladiatorial. Obviously, when you're in a scene with somebody, you're supposed to listen and react - and that's a bit of a transition.

Wow. I can't wait till later when we see Oscar's salute to montages.

I was accustomed to feeling that I was better than the other guys, that I had a mental edge,

When I'm onstage they know I'm honest, and I try to be as humble as I can.

It just annoys the hell of out me when someone will get up onstage and [say], 'Uh, you know, I didn't prepare anything, so I'm just going to take questions,' and they have a ball cap on, ugly clothes and unshaven.

We've had a lot of guys thrown into roles they weren't accustomed to, and when you do that they may play well one night but then struggle the next. What were striving for is to get that consistent effort night in and night out. When we don't show up mentally, it shows on the scoreboard.
