Vince Vaughn

I'm not running for office. I just want people to come to my stuff and escape and see me as a character, not as anything else.

I'm a Cubs fan. As a kid, the Cubs were my team.

If you've been on the covers of some magazines and been in a few movies that have been seen by people, for some reason, women seem to be drawn to you.

You'll never meet a nicer guy than Owen Wilson.

My dad's name is Vernon and my mom liked the initials, V. V. My sisters and I got named Victoria, Valerie and Vincent so we'd be V. V.'s, too. But, then when you start getting pets' names that start with a 'v,' it's a little embarrassing.

I've always been a fan of a Johnny Carson because he was so great with an audience and not afraid of self-deprecating humor.

I played football. I wrestled. Those were team sports and I played for the school. When I was younger, I played kick the can and stuff like that. I loved that.

I'm a horrible golfer.

I love Snoop. I worked with him on 'Old School,' and he's very accessible. He's very kind. He's always nice to everyone, to the crew. He's always got something positive to say. He's very childlike and loves to come and play. So, I had fun working with him.

I was never a big fashion person, and so I'm sure I wore whatever. I was growing, and so I just wore whatever clothes that weren't that expensive and made sense at the time. But I'm sure that I look back and say, 'What was I thinking?' My adolescence was more in the '80s, and that's more my cross to bear.

I feel like as you get older, the roles you get change, and you don't always want to do the same tone over and over again.

When you're younger, you feel like work is work and relationships are supposed to be easy. As you get older, you realize you have to work at relationships to make them sustainable.

I'm not a big gadget guy. When I write, I'll do the whole thing by hand, and then I'll put it into the computer.

Some people really like to get into Twitter, but it's not my thing.

I didn't own a cell phone for a long time. I was late in the game on that.

My father came from nothing, so he believed that people could do anything if they worked hard enough. I think he liked that I chose to be an actor. Both he and my mom were totally supportive.

The last book I read was the book I've been rereading most of my life, The Fountainhead.

I think with improv - and I say it all the time because it's become such a catch thing that you talk about improv - if the scene is well-written, you don't need to improv. But that being said, if something strikes you in the moment and, most importantly, you know where the scene is supposed to go, it's no different than method acting.

If I'm saying a universal truth, but maybe it's something that people don't feel comfortable saying... It's a strange take, but at the same time, what you're hitting on is kind of right. You can relate. That's the heart of comedy. You have to have a point of view. You gotta commit. And the more you commit to it, sometimes the funnier it gets.

For me, I love California. I feel like it's my second home in that I moved out by choice at eighteen. It gave me opportunities that I didn't have anywhere else.
