A lot of times I think people, when they're doing a movie that's a family movie, they're worried about this being too esoteric or too dark or too weird.

A person being patient with an insane person is my favorite thing in the world.

I was into writing and directing. I was a bit of a reluctant actor. I would always ask friends to shoot or direct their movies, but then they'd want me to be in them.

Oddly enough, I have really bad stage fright - getting up in front of people. And I made a living going on live television.

I can't cook. I can barely make a bowl of cereal.

No one knows anything. You're going to make mistakes and you're going to do things that people think are stupid. You can't sit there and go, "I never want to make a mistake."

It's not like you get up on stage and you're immediately a genius. It takes a long time. So, don't be discouraged.
