I think that, honestly, people's censorship issues are personal but I disagree with most of those personal choices that I see others make. You know, I watch television and there's a grotesque amount of violence on almost every show that you would watch that comes on past 8:00 pm. And I think my dirty brand of humor is far less destructive to a child's mentality.

Really, if I'm honest, sci-fi is where my sensibility instinctively goes - I'm a big comic-book fan.

I eat well, and I exercise.

I work under the assumption that, generally speaking, my taste and the taste of the Oscar voters are not one in the same.

I was always big. I was kind of around this size, like, since I went into high school. I played rugby and stuff like that. So, people, you know, would screw with me, but I never got into, like, a real fight or anything like that.

I hadn't done a comedy for a while. I had directed a very low budget movie called The Ape and it was playing at a festival in Austin. Judd [Apatow] was there and he came and saw it and it's kind of funny.

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