The best cure for a hangover is something one straight man can't do for another straight man.

I like to think that if I were gay I would be out. Rupert Everett-style.

I get to the point where I feel relaxed, and then I just shoot a ton of material and make a lot of different choices.

(I) try new things and give myself permission to fail and experiment because only that way can you get really successful.

Just because a lot of people know something nominal doesn't make it important. A lot of people know what a pencil sharpener is, but that doesn't make it the most important invention of the 20th century.

(As) a director who is a writer, I have respect for writers, so I'm less likely to step on an idea or a line.

I think we all like to see ourselves as good dads, but there's also that fear, 'Oh, I don't want to be like my father,' or, 'I hope my kid doesn't turn out like me.' You know, I have those feelings too. So the key is optimism.
