I love history. I'm very interested by it and I think it's great to have a movie that brings it alive in a way. It's sort of that romanticized version of it.

I have a lot of nervous energy. Work is my best way of channelling that into something productive unless I want to wind up assaulting the postman or gardener.

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.

My own parents were touchy-feely.

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

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

I enjoy the work I do in comedies. It's a valid test of your creative abilities.
