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

I can't not put humor in a book.

The biggest waste of brainpower is to want to change something that's not changeable.

Steven Spielberg seems to have wanted to be a director from 13. He put his dog in a certain position and made him eat at four o'clock. He liked to direct it. But, to me, directing is tedious. Especially if you're acting in it. And I'm inherently lazy.

I've always been the king of silence. I've always been a minimalist comedian. I've taken my influence from Jack Benny, who was the king of that I've always done 'less is more.'

If we had 3 million exhibitionists and only one voyeur, nobody could make any money.

You know, I became a director out of necessity. I was writing comedies, and I couldn't find anybody to deliver it correctly.
