I think that the online world has actually brought books back. People are reading because they're reading the damn screen. That's more reading than people used to do.

I realized the more fun I had, the more relaxed I was working, the better I worked.

When you act obnoxious towards people, like on a movie set, they say "we're ready for you" and I say "oh, go to hell, my feet hurt and my head aches." You want to have a margarita for lunch, and people like these little ADs and production assistants are like, "well, he's drinking again."

The truth is, anybody that becomes famous is an ass for a year and a half. You've got to give them a year and a half, two years. They are getting so much smoke blown, and their whole world gets so turned upside down, their responses become distorted. I give everybody a year or two to pull it together because, when it first happens, I know how it is.

Eh, it's not that attractive to have a plan. I know that if I ever feel that I need to make a funny movie, I’ll figure out how to write one. I’ll get it done. If I ever get some ambition, I’m gonna get some shit done.

Religion is the worst enemy of mankind. No single war in the history of humanity has killed as many people as religion has.

People are like music, some speak the truth and others are just noise.
