The best way to avoid criticism is never do anything ever. Or, do what you love, have a great life & let others spend their time criticising.

Suggesting I hate people with religion because I hate religion is like suggesting I hate people with cancer because I hate cancer.

I never had a plan. I just sort of ambled along, doing exactly what I wanted every day of my life.

It annoys me that the burden of proof is on us. It should be "You came up with the idea. Why do you believe it?" I could tell you I've got superpowers. But I can't go up to people saying "Prove I can't fly." They'd go: "What do you mean 'Prove you can't fly'? Prove you can!"

If you pay attention to good critics, you have to listen to the bad. So you have to ignore them all really. You can't just cherry pick the glowing ones.

I fought a bear once. But it started crying, so I let it off.

The service in L.A. is the best. You don't get sarcastic, surly, fed-up waiters and waitresses like you do in England. They're good at their job and they're there for the customer. The only depressing thing is a lot of them have written more screenplays than me.
