God was showing off when he made you.

I recently watched that Lucie Arnaz-produced documentary [Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie, 1992] about her parents [Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz], and I saw so much of my own childhood there.

I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.

There's always an element of fear that you need to work a lot until people get sick and tired of you or finally figure out that you're a fraud after all!

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.

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

Zoolander was more of my own sensibility.
