As soon as I realized you could be funny as a job, that was the job I wanted.

Most people I work with are older than me and the main thing I've learnt is that everyone is a dumb as an 18-year-old.

The biggest challenge [making Pineapple Express] was that we had a comedy budget. We really got excited the more we got into the development of it about blowing stuff up and having shoot outs. That stuff costs money.

I remember, when I was an up-and-coming comic, how annoyed I would be when the famous guys would show up and just take everyone's spots.

I am lazy, but for some reason, I am so paranoid that I end up working hard.

If I were directing a movie, it would scare me.

The original idea [ of the Pineapple Express] came from Judd [Apatow] actually. He just kind of had the loose notion of like, 'What about a weed action movie?'.
