My first writing jobs were writing Tom Arnold specials for HBO, so I love working there.

When you're making your 20th movie, it might be the 20th most incredible thing that's ever happened to you!

It seems like magic is something kids start really young.

And I like the passion that people have when they're trying to prove they can make a movie or be a movie star.

I like to shoot scenes where I can see the beginning, middle and end of the entire scene. But, when you edit a movie together, you can just cut right into the middle. You don't need to see them walk into the room and put their jacket on the chair. There's always a lot of shoe leather that you can remove.

I've had movies bomb with terrible reviews, I've had movies make a lot of money with terrible reviews, I've had movies get good reviews and make money. And I like it best when the movies do well and the reviewers like them.

I've come to believe that the simpler the title, the better. Whenever I try to get cute with it, it seems to be a problem but if it's just The 40-Year-Old Virgin, people seem to know what they're in for.
