My favorite film is always the one that I most recently worked on.

I don't make crappy movies. I spend two or three years making a film. I don't take myself seriously, but I take my movies very seriously.

Luckily, I've never been offered a directing job that was lucrative. I've never heard, "Here's $800,000 to remake Sisters."

Being a gay married man, I love Broadway musicals.

I like fat people more then I like thin people, things are always a lot more funnier when they happen to fat people.

I didn't even know what a film director was. To me, Charlie Chaplin was a goofy clown, and John Ford - what? Never heard of him.

Comedy is not commercial; it is risky, because what is funny in one place isn't always funny somewhere else.
