At the end of the day, successful box office just means that more people saw what you did and liked it, and that to me is the most important thing. That a lot of people saw it and liked it.

I'm glad I took the leap away from acting into going behind the camera because it's much more satisfying - I love acting and I still do, but it's much more satisfying to be able to make the stuff.

The greatest movies are the ones you want to watch again and again.

So many of my friends have always been women growing up... I always feel slightly more comfortable around women because with guys in general there's always more of a danger zone... it's very aggressive sometimes the way guys act with each other, putting each other down and calling each other names, so I was always too sensitive for that and used to hang out with the girls. And they were always really funny to me.

I was a standup comedian, which is kind of like writing and directing yourself.

One of the biggest things you have is your reputation and your reputation with knowing what's good and what's not good.

In my years of acting, the one thing I was never able to do convincingly was to laugh on camera. Fake-laugh.
