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

I met Evan Goldberg at bar-mitzvah class. It was called tallis and tefillin.

I remember when I got my first Adam Sandler CD and it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard in my entire life, and continues to be.

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

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?'.

It was really fun [on set of the Pineapple Express]. I mean, how could I not have fun? It was exactly what you think it would be.

We were really fortunate to work [on Pineapple Express] with a studio that was really supportive of these guys. It was before Superbad and Knocked Up had even come out, but everyone just felt really great about them and the energy surrounding Seth [Rogen] and Evan [Goldberg] and Judd [Apatow] - all of these guys - and the idea of getting Franco back into comedy as well.
