I'd love to travel more. I really look forward to traveling with my kids. I'm just waiting for them to want to travel with me.

When you have kids you want to be able to go to movies and take the family too, and actually all enjoy it together. I don't think there are that many great, live action family movies that everybody can enjoy.

I don't know what that weid fantasy is that makes people go, "Oh, you must have had a great childhood."

Whatever talent I had, I'm sure it helped that my parents were in the business and that I grew up around actors, comedians and directors.

When I was growing up, This is Spinal Tap [1984] was the ultimate comedy, and it was the kind of thing I wanted to do. But you get to a point with parody where you can't go much further because ultimately it's feeding off of somebody else's creativity.

There's a sense here in L.A. that everybody's aware of everybody all the time. It's funny but we choose it. People who are here want to be here, including me.

I don't think it's ever easy to be funny. I find it easy to amuse myself with a certain sort of cynical dark humor that tends toward the meaner side, like my character in Happy Gilmore. Those kinds of characters come easily to me.
