I definitely am a huge lover of comedy, and it's only through doing so many comedies that I've realised how much of an influence they've been on me.

There's got to be something you want to tell and that's the engine which spurs all of the work you have to do in order to create the story, but you have to love some sort of nugget of what you're telling to be a filmmaker.

You can't really control how people are going to feel about you; all you can really do is be yourself. Because if you seduce somebody, and you seduce them by pretending to be a certain way, once they are seduced they are going to find that you are not that way. And then you have to maintain an image that's not real, so you really screw yourself. The best is to be yourself and hope they like you.

I was pretty as a child and I felt that I wasn't very manly and that plagued me for years.

I don't know if it's animalistic or what, but men become like peacocks with their feathers up when women are around.

I think I'm a decent-looking guy. Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying.

I've never ridden a hog. I only have sport bikes. But that's basically how I get around L.A. Because traffic is horrendous.
