Every time I act in something, I learn something about what the director is doing. One feeds the other.

I've always been schizophrenic; I've never been interested in limiting myself.

But at the same time, never having final cut before, I really learned an interesting thing for any studio executive who is reading this: that if a director has final cut, it's actually easier and more interesting to listen to notes.

But I remember feeling as a producer I felt like the guy who called the caterer and got the band; I had to work the party while everybody else was having a good time.

I came to New York to be an actor and I became a film producer first.

To see a comedy in an environment where you're surrounded by other people that are laughing is great. That's probably more satisfying than just watching it by yourself.

I only got to be able to act, because I gave myself a job as a producer.
