The higher the stakes, the happier I am, the better I will be.

I'm not 40 yet. I wouldn't even bother comparing myself to Chaplin.

And last but not the least

I used to be so convinced that happiness was the goal, yet all those years I was chasing after it I was unhappy in the pursuit. Maybe the goal really should be a life that values honor, duty, good work, friends and family.

The audience can feel the subtleties of the characters.

I have a sense of destiny that you are led to the things you are supposed to do.

But I think Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang really got that thing where, if a movie reads really funny and then has some dramatic or violent or sinister stuff in it, you can't forget that primarily it has to be even funnier than you read it or that other stuff doesn't work.
