basketball character player
In the original script, my character was a basketball player rather than a boxer. I didn't think I could pull that off. I'm a little short to be a basketball player!
I just voted for Jesse Jackson !
dad day-care house
My life is nothing like the Daddy Day Care life. Me around the house is nothing like the Daddy Day Care dad.
running people knees
You know you can't just run and shoot people in the knee-caps with double barreled shotgun 'cause you're pissed at them.
beautiful smart kids
After all these years, I've done well and I'm cool. I feel comfortable in my skin, I've saved some paper, everybody's healthy, my kids are beautiful and smart, doing different things, it's all good.
age fixing broke
I spent my 30s fixing everything I broke in my 20s.
thinking comedian actors
I’m a comedian who got into movies, so I don’t really think of myself as an actor.
work-out effort ingredients
Making a movie is a collaborative effort and sometimes all the ingredients don't work out. I know that every now and again I am going to make a movie that won't work.
attitude moving voice
I started out as an impressionist and that’s all about observing, how people move, their voice quality, their attitudes and quirks.
want intellect wells
I want a woman who can arouse my intellect as well as my loins.
years looks filters
I haven't read a newspaper in 20 years. I don't look at the computer or anything. You have to have a filter on what you let in.
kids guy age
I'm 42 and the age of a guy who has kids, so I guess I'm playing right where I'm supposed to be. I'm comfortable with that, but in the same breath I'd do something edgy. If someone came to me and offered me an edgy and funny story, then I'd do it.
thinking doe concentration
I don't think more concentration is required for Robert De Niro to do what he does as for Jim Carrey to do what he does.
stars writing way
I'd like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did. I'll do that before I'm thirty.
