My job is to come up with something that you like and you agree with that you would play wholeheartedly. If we disagree, I may not be doing my job correctly.

I've always had that overweening desire to be liked by the audience.

I have no trouble selling out—I’m a benevolent hack, in a certain way—but I want to pander for something I believe in.

You can't love somebody into a state of mental health.

The trick with sequels is, you have to give people what they liked before, yet be innovative enough so they don't feel like they're seeing the same movie.

I'm not a believer in the pratfall. I don't think it's funny just to have someone fall down.

You don't have to know much, just a little bit more than everybody else.
