The Believer - Interview with Jack Black:

DANIEL HANDLER: Have you attended a lot of weddings?

JACK BLACK: I have, unfortunately, attended a lot of weddings.

DH: Have you presided over any weddings?

JB: No.

DH: Have you been married yourself?

JB: No.

DH: Have you crashed any weddings?

JB: No. I only go when invited and usually I’m really bored. I haven’t been to many good ones.

DH: What’s the most boring part of a bad wedding?

JB: The ceremony, without a doubt. And the time between the ceremony and when we get to eat. That’s always the most excruciating part. And sometimes between the eating and the waiting for the cake to be cut because that’s commonly understood as the part where you get to leave. Right after the cake is cut, that’s the end. Unless you’re going to wait around for people to get into a car and drive away. I guess that’s when you’re really allowed to leave. I always leave after the cake is cut.
