I've done films where you have to get in shape for purely vanity reasons, when you read a script, turn to page 87 and it says: "Rips his shirt off and casually throws it onto chair" - and you're going to go to the gym the next day because nobody wants to see your big fat arse out there taking your shirt off!
There are lots of different parts of movie-making that I participate in, but my favorite part is the making of it. I'm scared, every day. I keep thinking someone's going to throw me the ball and I'm going to go, "Oh, wow. Oh, god. I just messed that up."
I have just as many liberal ideas as I have conservative ideas that I argue with myself sometimes.
I could never write my memoirs, just because too many people are still alive and would be hurt.
You can kind of judge how old a film is by the size of the cell phones.
My friends are always honest with me about films. But I really wanted to talk to regular people and kind of have a forum to interact with them; not just about films, but about everything.
I always question whether it's the right time for anything I do.
I never think there's any competition between films. I root for everybody's films. I especially have a fond place in my heart for graphic novels and comics.
I think that the "what if" game is what you guys get to do. I don't have to do that. I hate the "what if" game. I'm such a believer in everything happening the way it's supposed to happen.
If I had a choice, I would do comedy all the time. It's just the most challenging thing. To make someone laugh is the most challenging thing, and the most rewarding thing, in entertainment.
I know how to turn it on [computer]. I know where the disc goes: in that little slot but I can't always get it out. And I have three genius-level computer savvy kids who save my ass all the time. I'll tell you what I don't do. I don't watch the news on TV anymore. I get my news online. And like all of you, I Google whoever I want.
What I say is what I say, I don't always say the right thing, I don't always say the politically correct thing. I don't have any regrets about that.
There's a long history of all kinds of cop films... But all these films are really about the same thing: the good guys triumphing over the bad guys.
You wouldn't want to see a movie where the bad guys triumph over the good guys all the time. You'd get bummed out, and you'd just stay at home and watch the news.
