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.

When we were visiting New York City, I took my kids to the same playground where I went growing up. It was fun to feel that connection of having gone there as a kid and being there as a parent.

The failure of The Cable Guy impacted my career. I had to start writing and acting again.

I think you never want to have to go into the scene having to improvise; you want to make sure its working on the page. But I do like to have the ability to try stuff just in the moment, to give it some sort of spontaneity.

I've had a very good career and I'm grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work.

My own parents were touchy-feely.

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