Acceptance is going to a restaurant where the salad's not great, but the steak is fine.

I cast unusual people in my movies.

When I was younger, I wasn't concentrating on good days. I was managing a career and trying to have a good year. It would always 'lead' to something, which never leads to anything except death, where everything leads to. And then as I got older, and then I had my kids and everything, I began to appreciate a great Wednesday.

Even though my father was a radio comedian, it wasn't cool to say, at a young age, 'I want to be a comedian.'

I never wanted to be a director.

Once you sign on as an actor, you know, you don't go to the editing room, you don't see how they cut, you don't see how they score, you don't see how they cast the rest of the movie.

Regrets are stupid; they don't mean anything and they don't add up to anything.
