I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.

You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.

It came time to go to college. My dad said, go wherever you want. Take whatever you want. He just really believed in getting out and being exposed to different things.

I just - you know, some people just have some very full laughter - full of joy - and have no shame or fear of letting that out.

You know, it was a small, independent movie and with Paramount becoming involved, it was obviously a good thing, but you can't put a round peg in a square hole.

I've done a few movies where I really liked the project, but I wasn't sure about the director, and I still did it and my instinct was right, in the beginning. Even though it was a good story, the guy still didn't really know what he was doing.

It would be nice to do a movie where I didn't have to choke the girl to get her.
