When the kids are laughing in the audience, I tear up, I'm so happy I did a nice thing.
When I was younger and did a stand-up gig, it would take me two weeks to recover. Sometimes I'd get so panicked that I would stutter.
When I take my kid to school, all the parents stop and stare.
I'm just looking to make good movies and looking to be as good as I can be in them and that's about it. But I feel much more comfortable doing a comedy, but the fact that I got to try a few dramas, I feel I've tested myself a little bit.
Kids end up seeing my movies anyway but some of the mothers get mad at me so I figured I'd make one that I can't get yelled at for.
I've always liked older ladies, ever since my mother would have B'nai B'rith at our house.
I definitely connected to the fact that life gets out of control and you end up doing things and wishing you were doing other things instead.
I was a big fan of Kurt Russell growing up and I always wanted to be the modern day Kurt Russell.
Sir one more comment like that and I will strangle you with my microphone wire!
My movies just kind of sneak up on you. I don't have to worry too much about what everybody is going to say. Anyway, I really don't pay attention to what the world says about my movies. I just care about what my buddies think.
The problem with me, as far as getting married and having a family, is that my comedy is so important to me. So I don't know if I'll ever be as good a dad as my dad.
We just bought this house. It's too big. It's like 400,000 square feet, or something. We got an indoor lake and ski slope in the house! It's just too big.
I've got the kid. I feel a little more relief that I don't have to just think about myself too much.
Through my films I'm eventually trying to one day tell the truth. I don't know if I'm ever going to get there, but I'm slowly letting pieces of myself out there and then maybe by the time I'm 85, I'll look back and say, 'All right, that about sums it up.
