It's a burden that I have to live with every day.

Oh cool.

Thank you for that. Yeah, that's a true story. I literally was listening to what David Duchovny said, and I'm not really that much smarter than the character of Derek, and I honestly forgot, I hadn't followed what he was saying, I said it again and got my lines wrong, and David (who's a very funny guy) improvised the "are you serious? I just explained that." Which just goes to show you that Derek and I are actually closer than you might think.

I believe the proper response is "You can have a warm glass of shut the hell up."

That's another example of a movie where the studio had no idea what we were doing, Judd Apatow wrote it and we all didn't realize it was a Disney movie, we were making this sort of, I would say, the tone of it was like so dark and weird that when the Disney people saw it, they immediately freaked out and were like "what is this" - but that was kind of the fun thing about it, we had never done a "kids" movie, and sort of just approached it like we were just doing a movie. And I had a great time. I don't think Judd's done many family movies since then. I think that was the last family movie he's done.

Yes, it was still improvised.
