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 don't want to be the one to break it to you, but the future ain't that funny.

You can equate acting to a tennis game: When you're playing one of the best, you get better.

Movies are an expensive business.

It's better to be known by six people for something you're proud of than to be known by sixty million for something you're not.

What naturally stops you making the film is there is no more money in the budget. That's really what it is. If you had an unlimited budget, if you were a billionaire and you financed your own movies, then you can either date, because you can sit in an editing room for six years, like Howard Hughes, and never finish anything.

I like movies about failing.
