You can't reinvent the wheel. You've got to just take the best from all the other shows and try to make it work, because there's the "live show Gods" that dictate if there are going to be any surprises, if there's a very commercial film that's a Best Picture. There are a lot of things that are out of my control, but I do my best.

Woody Allen is in his '70s and he's making movies, so I look forward to getting there.

'Vacation' means titillating my taste buds.

I used to date Olivia Munn... But when she was 'Lisa,' that was the problem. She wasn't Asian back then.

You've got to think about how to do things for the right price. You have to shoot in different places to be creative and get tax rebates.

I never dreamed I would be producing the Oscars. That was a huge deal for me.

When you're the director, you kinda do all the work.
