I just thinks it's interesting what it takes an actor to find their characters through the wardrobe, or the hair, or the way a character walks.

I like - there's a better word for it, but I like the danger that a comic brings to a role. It has a feeling, even though everything's scripted and everything's planned what you're going to do. When I see Will Ferrell or Sacha Baron Cohen, there's a feeling that anything could happen.

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.

Well, it's so cheesy to say but you can't find a comedy director who makes movies for critics. When a movie does $580 million worldwide, I'm not saying that proves anything except people were enjoying the experience.

It's all about escapism. That's essentially what all movies are about. It's a vicarious thrill.

I'm not worried about young people seeing an opportunity and taking advantage of it.

I think reviewers have become particularly venomous because, in a way, the power has been sucked from them. A 15-year-old can write a review on the Internet and it means as much as Roger Ebert's review, and that just makes Roger Ebert mad, so he comes out harder and stronger.
