Go down to the corner store and beat the Jap up, clean all the crap up.

I make a mean cup of coffee, if you give me the right ingredients.

You really have to challenge yourself to come out of those parameters that they put you in, even if that's your job.

I think when somebody goes to the movies and they spend their money and they take the girl out, the family, they want to have a good time. You don't always want to be hit over the head with history or how bad society is.

Some comedians you work with, they only turn on when the camera turn on, and they're like sad-faced clowns when the camera's off. And then, they come alive when the camera come on. And you be like, "Oh, damn. You're not a depressed ball of depression, but you are actually funny."

I feel like I got a whole lot of living to do before I think about summing it up in a book.

I figured, when I make a movie, especially earlier in my career, one thing I was going to make sure was that the movie doesn't cost a lot and that it has potential to make a lot of money. That's how you get respect in Hollywood.
