I still have the art projects my kids made for me 20 years ago. I cherish them, crude and silly as some of them may be.

I'm a wonderful disaster. So are you. We're all a mess. We're in this culture that says take this pill and you'll be happy, go on this diet and you'll be thinner, have your teeth whitened, people will love you more.

We are all wonderful, beautiful wrecks. That's what connects us-that we're all broken, all beautifully imperfect.

What's the level of compromise for making that kind of money? How far do I have to sell my soul? What's the price of that? And I don't know if I want to make those kind of compromises any more. I think I'm a different person. I think I've matured to a great extent. I think that I want different things now. That it's not about the celebrity status that you receive because you're doing the next hot movie. It's about doing good work.

People come up to me on the street and say, 'Men at Work is the funniest movie I ever saw in my life'. But, you know, I do have to question how many movies these people have seen.

You make a film and you don't know who it's going to appeal to.

Americans are probably more in line than ever before. We're more moderate than we are liberal or conservative.
