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.

Just always be extremely respectful, was something that was drilled into me, which I think probably prevented me from having sex for a good seven years longer than it should have.

I watch a lot of TV. I love nothing more than having a good TV show on DVD, to just plow through.

To me, what separates a funny movie from a good movie is something personal.

I don't smoke weed on set all day. I just want to say that, you know, not all day. After lunch you get tired. What can you do? To me, the fact that a character smokes weed isn't really what I hang my hat on necessarily.

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

I don't make the best movies in the world, but at times, I do feel like I'm adding something to the cinematic community.
