Film is the cheapest part of the movie making process. The expense is the 100-man crew and the financing and everything.

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

In the beginning of any career, in every job, people are always forcing you to the middle.

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.

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

I like movies about failing.

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