I've never really had a real job. When I was young doing stand-up, I'd get 50 bucks a week here or 100 bucks a week there. You know, sometimes for headlining one of the rooms, or MC-ing, or something like that. So yeah, I've never had like a normal job.

I'm the person who writes most of my movies so every role is exactly what I want to be doing.

It always seems crazy to tell people what to expect. That never works! So, I don't know what to say, other than that they can expect me.

I'm intimidated anytime I work with someone who's directly outside my very insulated group of friends.

I hadn't really done a comedy other than The Ape since Freaks and Geeks.

Making [Pineapple Express] was a blast. I'd kind of gotten to the point professionally where I was pretty emotionally exhausted from making dramatic films.

It's just kind of seemed like a funny way to explore action movies, I guess. I mean, I'm a big fan of them always. It's always people who are very equipped to deal with the situations that they're thrown in. So, the notion just seemed funny, because it's, like, basically stoners are kind of the last guys in the world who are equipped to deal with that. And the humor possibilities just seemed somewhat endless.
