Mixing humor and politics is something that works.

To me, character in a person is judged by the decisions that are made under pressure.

The turmoil that my dad went through, and then by extension, the kids went though, was profound and disastrous for the marriage, for the family.

If you work hard, you have a better chance of producing something that you're proud of. If you don't, you won't. It's really simple.

There's boldness in being assertive; there's strength and confidence.

If you have a level of expectation in your life that you have to be a quote-unquote star, whatever that means, you might be setting yourself up for failure.

I appreciate my role as an actor much more after I direct because it's just easier.
