I will always do stand-up, even if my acting career takes off. Stand-up is my life.

I want to do movies that mean something, that make people laugh and cry great movies, period-piece movies and work with the best people out there, who bring the best out of me.

My mom raised me to never have anything control me.

Being a big star and being known, making movies and a lot of money - that really doesn't interest me.

It's crazy because people expect you to be funny all the time and every day is not a funny day. I go to funerals and people are like 'tell a joke' and 'say one of your lines in a movie.' It's a funeral, man!

I think real life reflects your movies. In your life, you pick stuff that influences what movie roles you wanna pick. I think if you've got an interesting life, you wanna do interesting movies about interesting things.

I am now half Asian. I have learned all the ancient teachings of Buddi.
