I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, "People will LOVE the ninja version of that."

I would never remake something that was like "The Godfather." Things that are truly important to me, I could never remake or reboot, or whatever.

I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.

New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in 'Pinocchio.'

When you go out to make something, you want it to be great. You need to put a bubble around that, so no one can get into the force field and change what you're setting out to make. That's all us being producers is doing, is allowing our power to protect the integrity of what you're doing.

I'm sure a bunch of 15-year-old kids would way rather I do 'Superbad 2 than 'Moneyball.' But I would love to do movies like 'Superbad' and movies like 'Moneyball.'

It's not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore; I'm no longer the underdog in that world.
