On how his on-screen dynamic with Kristen Bell has evolved over the years:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis might be irrelevant, but she wasn\u2019t pregnant and then I worked with her very much pregnant on House of Lies. And so, I\u2019ve seen her, I guess, through motherhood and stages. And I think there\u2019s a history of not just each other, but of us being in the business and in similar circles for as long as we have. But I will say so much of it is also the writing because, as good as our chemistry was on those earlier projects, you know, nobody was freaking out over it, you know. It was very much these characters on Nobody Wants This are very much set up to be rooted for.\u201d<\/p>\n

On not liking the trapped in a mall plotline on The O.C.:<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember the middle of season two, we got trapped in a mall overnight. And I was like, I think I saw this on Saved by the Bell. I think they also got trapped in a mall. And I don\u2019t like it. I remember Marissa, Mischa Barton<\/a>\u2019s mom, is dating my grandfather. Or is going to be engaged to him. And I\u2019m like, that\u2019s a great actual plot but it was like episode 15, maybe 18, in the mid-teens, of the first season. You know she had already, Tate Donovan and her had already split and she\u2019s already\u2014 and I just thought that\u2019s quick. That\u2019s a lot of story fast. But I do like that storyline a lot. It was funny. But I just thought, man, it\u2019s early.\u201d<\/p>\n

On why music was crucial to The O.C. being a mold-breaking teen show:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think two things, well maybe three things are involved in that, and one of them I think is the most nostalgia based, which is music. I think for a teen show, it was the most music-centric I think at that point. And I think music is such a lock into a memory or unlocks a memory so much. And that\u2019s what I was struck by when I watched it again. I was like oh the music\u2019s doing so much work here in a great way and it\u2019s such a part of the tapestry of it. I guess the other two things I was going to say I think in terms of like it being somewhat mold-breaking was the comedic infusion and also certainly the meta infusion. You know that more than anything hadn\u2019t really been\u2014 yeah, the self-awareness had not been done in that kind of show before.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the satisfaction of Jennifer\u2019s Body turning into a cult classic:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was ahead of its time. I think it was, it might have not mattered, but I think it was positioned wrong at the time. I think it was marketed like 180 degrees the wrong way, but regardless that might not have made much difference. This thing that came back from the dead that people enjoyed, it\u2019s almost more satisfying than if it just comes out of the gate, you know, successful\u2026I mean the truth of the matter is, I\u2019m not in it all the at much, so like it doesn\u2019t concern me as much as other people. But I think it\u2019s great and I was a big fan then and I\u2019m happy other people are now.\u201d<\/p>\n

On being stabbed to death by Ghostface in Scream 4:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s instinctual. I\u2019ve died a few times. Scream is not my finest hour dying. I don\u2019t specifically remember but it looks to me when I saw it that I\u2019m laughing. And it is cool that like Ghostface is going to stab you. On one hand\u2014 I think it\u2019s instinctual in two ways. It\u2019s instinctual in terms of you\u2019re going to know, this is how I would die or lose consciousness. And also, I think if you do it long enough you know where the camera is and you can kind of visualize how this body language might project and let me think about it a little like that too.\u201d Watch above!<\/p>\n
