Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.

These days and times you can't do eclectic records. In the '60s you could, but not anymore.

They always say 'Is there going to be a sequel to Bad Santa?' and you know, I mean, a long time ago they would talk about, you know, we're going to do a sequel to that but it was never serious. And they said 'Would you do it?' and I said out of all the movies I've done, that was a lot of fun, and maybe I would do a sequel if it ever came up and it made sense, but I said I don't think that's ever going to happen.

I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other.

If something really strikes a chord with an audience, if it pops on TV, I don't mind watching it for a few minutes.

People think you have to be tortured or miserable to write, but I'm finding that I get inspired a lot more these days before I'm happy.

Man, I was drowning in sadness. And Angelina, she lifted me right up out of there.
