I like movies about failing.

If I'm going to act in someone's movie, I want the movie to be interesting and be able to get a couple of solid doubles.

The whole world is tense. Everybody gets the international news. Theres been no American comedy at all that even remotely addresses the subject in any way. My goal isnt to solve the worlds problems. My character wasnt even able to do his assignment. But the premise of wanting to find out about somebody -- other than the stuff that the CIA will tell you -- theres no hope unless we do that.

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

Movies are an expensive business.

I got so good at writing to a budget, my brain was restricting myself. I'd write, "It's a stormy night." Then I'd cross out stormy. I'd write: "It's a calm night." Then I'd cross out night. It's noon. Because you know how much night costs. You know how much rain costs. Nothing comes free in movies.

I, sort of, got into comedy accidentally, and it got bigger than I wanted it to.
