Our job as directors is to entertain an audience, it's not just to do it for the director. You might as well sit in a white room and look at the movie for the rest of your life - it's ridiculous.

I was a weird kid. I should've been gay because I listened to a lot of Broadway musicals. I don't know why I'm not gay.

I don't like to have these words banded about, like "British sense of humor," "American sense of humor," though I'll be damned if I know what they are.

I've always wanted to do non-comedies, I've always done dramas, comedies, music, and I always like to bop around and do different things.

In a stage play, you kill the leads and they come out for a bow - in a movie, they don't come out for a bow, they're dead.

I've done TV for tons and tons of years, so I'm not crazy about doing more TV, but with films, all I want to do are different projects that aren't all the same.

Once you get a character, you lock it in your heart - it's there.
