One of the best lessons I've ever gotten in my life is to anticipate nothing because it's always worse in your head than it really is.

I love this script [The Hollars] because I'm lucky enough to come from a really tightknit family.

Let's be honest, there are a lot of family movies; I like some of them, I don't like other ones.

The one-liner of this movie [ The Hollars], you've probably heard before: 'A guy goes home to his family and finds out about himself.

I grew up with the Boston vibe and the Catholic vibe. I don't want to put anybody out.

I hadn't heard the Gary Cooper thing so I'm not grounded now. I feel pretty good. That's incredibly nice. When I met Robin [Williams] at the read-through, I remember when he came in, I was so nervous meeting him for the first time is incredible because I did actually write him a letter when I was a kid and told him he was my favorite actor.

In a lot of relationships, when you're an adult, you realize that you've actually just been repeating a pattern. When someone breaks that pattern and it makes you realize what's right or wrong about the person. When you actually have to confront it, that's probably why a lot of adult relationships don't survive.
