ADD QUOTES
- Chris: (about his rare innocent role in the 2007 film Hairspray) In most of the movies I've done, I don't get the girl. In this particular case, I happen to get the girl, and it's John Travolta!
  Edit Share Hide
- Chris: (from an SNL skit with Blue Oyster Cult) I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell.
  Edit Share Hide
- Chris: I've always been a character actor, although I'm not quite sure what that means. All my scripts are absolutely covered in notes, so any time I say anything - even `pass the salt' - I have six subtexts, comments on what I really mean when I'm saying that. Maybe that's what gives the impression that I'm saying one thing and thinking something else.
