When you consider the many ways in which people have to make a living every day when they wake up, I figure that eating 20 eggs isn't that bad.

People should try eating no animal products for just one day a week.

I like to just keep the land within sight. Nowadays they can tell you if there's a storm three days out. So it's not much of a concern. But I've never been a big boat person. I don't spend a lot of time at sea.

I live in New York full time. I can't live in L.A., because I fear people think I'm a vagrant there.

When you're the guy behind the camera, you're aware of the reasons for the compromises or the changes that get made. As an actor, you go and do your thing, and someone else down the line then does all the math and goes, "We can't include that thing where he's pretending to be dumb and needling those people, because it takes a minute and a half, and it ruins the next scene. It doesn't make sense." If you're directing, you're the one doing that.

You're encouraged to do the same kind of movies. But I would like to keep doing different things.

If I can't see the humor in it, how am I going to be funny?
