I was a really nervous kid. I was extremely sensitive. Incredibly perceptive.

Hollywood is like a stock market - you're always up and down and all around. With age, you start to invest less in the outcome of that.

Bringing any movie together is a minor miracle.

I have daddy issues. So I keep tissues on me at all times.

Graphic novels and comic books offer an easy foothold into that world, and screenwriters and studio execs gravitate toward those, because I think they can see it all right there. It's like, "Here's what the movie looks like."

I like doing the mainstream, right-down-the-pike broad comedies as much as I like doing the kind of unorthodox different stuff.

I can't say I've ever finished a film and been particularly thrilled with myself or patted myself on the back. And maybe that's what keeps me going, and that's a good thing. It speaks volumes about how I perceive myself.
