I mean, where I come from, 'communism' is not a terrible word.

I liked actions movies. Jean-Claude Van Damme was a major influence on me at that point in my life.

Basically, we [me and Evan Goldberg] started thinking about making a movie that was kind of a weed movie and action movie and had a real kind of friendship story to it, then that would be our favorite movie [Pineapple Express] ever.

I'm not entirely comfortable saying I'm an actor, because it seems like a very weird, almost dorky thing to say you are. I laugh after every take just out of the discomfort I feel that I'm even on film. It's an awkward thing for me to be doing. Once we get going, it's always fine, and as we're shooting, I'm never thinking about it. I'd say that all my time in front of the camera is equally uncomfortable for me.

Are we gonna just make movies about trying to get laid over and over again or focus on something that's more relevant?

The good thing about L.A. is that there's always someone more famous 100 yards away from me.

You have to plan a lot and you have to be really smart about how you're spending your money.
