SETH GREEN

There's no greater way to gain an audience's sympathy than by being unfortunate.

As people get older and fall out of the spotlight, people's memory of them changes.

Three or four years ago, I got really caught up in the movies people were making, the opportunities they were getting, and I was looking at them with bitterness.

I've noticed that girls between like 20 and 30 seem to know 'Can't Hardly Wait.' I got the goth kids who know 'Buffy.' I got this wide spectrum of people who range from like 8 to 13 who seem to know 'Scooby-Doo.' Then I get the international people who seem to know 'Austin Powers' and 'The Italian Job.'

Doing something because it's quote-unquote a good career move doesn't really appeal to me.

I was four years old when I saw 'Star Wars', and it has been significantly important throughout my entire life.

I'm not interested in becoming a bigger star, I'm not interested in being the wealthiest guy in the world. I'm doing fine, I love acting, and I want to do it for the rest of my life.

During the writer's strike I was walking a line and ran into Jack Black and he said, 'We're doing Airborne 2!', and I asked, 'Are you kidding?', and he said, 'Yeah.' I like 'Airborne,' its very pure.

There are two kinds of people in this world: Michael Jackson fans and losers.

I was never famous as a kid. That's the biggest difference between me and any other kid actor is that I wasn't famous as a kid.

'Star Wars' is such a phenomenal global supernova that anything that gets said about it becomes kind of fact and gospel, and then taken by the legions of fans who are so excited to have more 'Star Wars,' that they roll off on all sorts of flights of fancy.

It doesn't matter what you're saying if you come from an honest place.

I don't believe in e-mail. I rarely use a cell phone and I don't have a fax.

I had been acting since I was seven years old, but I had a combination of things happen at about the same time. 'Austin Powers' came out on DVD, I got a series regular gig on 'Buffy' and 'Can't Hardly Wait' came out.

I think I've always just been kinda geeky and got to play some mildly appealing roles.

I was never specifically associated with a part, I didn't have tons of money, I wasn't conventionally tall or handsome, so you know the things that were available to me were hard work and perseverance.

All of my activities are so pedestrian. The extreme sport I play is ping pong. And we play it hard. If any of you suckers want to step up to the table, be ready.

On 'Robot Chicken' we parodied a lot of things but it was done out of love.

I mean, we make a 15-minute show that's incredibly silly, even though all of our scenic designers, puppet builders. animators, everybody that works on the show take their work very seriously. So somebody saying that we'd even be in contention for a very respectable award is really nice.

I firmly believe in marriage. It's a real important decision that takes a lot of dedication and time. If you're thinking about divorce. You shouldn't get married.

How people interpret my degrees of sexiness is out of my hands.

It's sad and upsetting when you see somebody crying hysterically, but at the same time it's real funny.

After working for 18 years, all of a sudden I became successful on a level where other people knew it. It's not a cat you can put back in the bag.

Over the last four years, I've made a habit of coming into my office in the morning and just getting to work.

You look at John Travolta in 'Pulp Fiction', you look at Donnie Wahlberg in 'The Sixth Sense.' People have liens against them in crazy ways and the audience is always forgiving - if you prove it.
