I did stand-up. I loved George Carlin and Steve Martin.

I usually get freaked out if I'm in a situation where a lot of people recognise me at once.

I suppose things are better now, but ... I don't know. People still hate each other, they just know how to hide it better.

What if I told you insane was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to p*ss off; ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time? Wouldn't you consider that to be insane?

By nature, I think I am a pretty private person, and that is what is hard even doing interviews for films that I really love doing, because in some ways, it diminishes the experience that I had.

I never had any master plan about directing, and I don't really write.

My greatest hope was to get discovered as a comedian and get on a sitcom.
