You can inspire people to give you greatness, or you can micro-manage them into your own one specific kernel of an idea. To me, I think that when you inspire people to give their best, then you're going to get the best result.

I like doing family films.

Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting.

My first love is acting, but the reality is that I just don't get too many opportunities to stretch, and grow, and inspire myself as an actor, certainly not in terms of where I make money. Yeah, I can go off and do a play, but the reality is as a profession, directing is exponentially more satisfying.

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

I'm not a broad comedy guy. I've been funny in movies, but I'm not a comedian. I'm an actor who's sometimes funny.

So much of Hollywood is about who the people you work with are.
