I've always been a guy that doesn't do well waiting for people to say, "You can act." It's always been a part of me.

I learned a lot, in terms of inspiring people. It became very clear to me, very early on, that directing a movie was a lot like being in a theater company.

It's always fun to play a bad guy because you get more to do. It's more arch. There's more energy to throw into it.

My tone and my style are reflected in the movies I choose to make. I want to make big movies. My dream is to be Jon Favreau or Ben Affleck.

There's not a comedy actor who doesn't want a chance to do drama, and vice versa. As actors, we're always looking to be pushed and to do the other side of the coin.

I always think that I'm the best thing in a lot of bad movies. Personally, I have to. I think that I like me as an actor.

The stage is a training ground and it's where you learn what's funny and what's successful.
