I make decisions to do movies based on the cast. I'd just been working with Zach Galifianakis on 'The Hangover', and I was thinking, I've got to find something to do with this guy immediately.

John Goodman's pretty dark - I love John Goodman.

My dog's a gentleman.

I think that 'Hangover II' is as funny as 'The Hangover I,' honest to God, but I think that it's a little bit darker, and the stakes are a little bit higher.

I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it's a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff.

How many days do you have that are just purely dramatic? How many days do you have that are just purely comedic? It's usually a combination and I think that's what real life feels like.

Bangkok, like Las Vegas, sounds like a place where you make bad decisions.
