At the end of the day, audiences just want to laugh and be entertained. They want to escape from their reality, and that's why we make movies, to get people to escape from the realities.

I'm not invited to the Vanity Fair dinner where they watch the Oscars - or even the Oscars themselves - so I sit at home and watch it with a bunch of close friends.

I'm not going to turn down an Oscar, but I'm not strategizing for one.

Producing is making films without having to work sometimes. It's still making films, but it's a different job.

I've been a book collector since I was young, since I was a kid.

I'm definitely not a nerd.

In my public life, I'm just a guy who enjoys having fun.
