Q: You also did a "Tonight" skit with Nicolas Cage, while he was promoting "Kickass."

A: I was a little bit nervous around Jay Leno, to tell you the truth. I mean, Jay is a stand-up comic. I don't know how I would fit in, if I were on the couch. I would do my best, of course. But to do it this way (as a quiz-show skit) with Nic Cage, who's a fan, was kind of fun to play.

Q: Cage famously does an imitation of you throughout "Kickass." Have you seen it?

A: I saw him — I should say — (whispers) try to imitate me as Batman.

Q: Do you consider it to be a compliment?

A: Of course it is. As I said, he's a fan. We're talking about doing a movie together. But that could just be show-biz talk. And he's got his own problems right now.
