The funniest comedians are in touch with their emotional level.

The first time I ever cried in a movie was in Dead Poet's Society.

I usually save these answers [on the institution of marriage] for my Barbara Walters Special, but she didn't call so I've never been engaged, despite popular belief.

You can't do anything to be funny. That's cringeworthy. If your humor comes out of a place of love every time, you don't make the joke bigger than you. The funniest comedians are in touch with their emotional level.

To be that big of a star and that grounded and that classy, I'm mean [ George Clooney] was a true mentor for me and, as a director, he's incredible.

James Cagney as a baby is not my ideal thing.

When you have two people that good in a movie, I think it adds a class and a feeling of importance for other actors that they want to be involved.
