It becomes pretty crystal clear once you watch that first assembly [movie cut] the things that are just grinding it to a halt, so to speak, or slowing it down, or getting in the way, yeah.

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.

I was taught that you didn't want to be part of the group - that it was better to do your own thing.

Every weekend in history has worked for movies if the movie connects.

My movies before tend to be just funny. But it wasn't a conscious thing I was looking for at all.

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

You set the tone on the set that you want to see in the film.
