There's an old saying in Hollywood: It's not the length of your film, it's how you use it.

I wanted to be funny for people who didn't care about fashion at all, to just to kind of exist as a silly character.

When I didn't have a family, I was much more of a workaholic. I still like to work, but I also want to be home with them. As you get older, you realize you need balance. If it's not fun, what's the point?

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.

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.

Maybe forced retirement isn't necessary after all.

I'm not an expert on the Malaysian sense of humor.
