I think a lot of Hollywood is in retreat right now trying to figure out how to make money and make the safest bets.

I always felt as a kid that I was underappreciated, invisible or weird, but I've always secretly thought people would one day appreciate what is different about me. I'm always putting that message out there.

A lot of times, it's easy to trim the movie 'cause you just start losing things that you thought would be there just for amusement's sake that actually are not funny. My favorite part of the process is seeing it with an audience. I do about eight previews to see how things are working.

I loved the idea that I could write a joke and someone else would have to take the risk of performing it.

Sometimes, something seems dead, and then out of the blue, someone just figures out the way to fix a script and it goes.

College is the reward for surviving high school. Most people have great fun stories from college and nightmare stories from high school.

There are only so many hilarious actors so when they cross-pollinate, people assume it's always the same actors and directors.
