self-esteem responsibility hands
A human being's first responsibility is to shake hands with himself.
photography directors credit
I rode it once, which was up the driveway in the opening credits of the show. I didn't know how to stop it. I actually nearly killed the director of photography, and I smashed into the sound truck.
brilliant
How we learn has nothing to do with how brilliant we are.
school years challenges
Somebody asked me if I could go back and start again with a different brain, would I. Years ago I thought yes, I would, and now I know I wouldn't. Because whatever challenges I had in school, I guess they forced me to where I am today. So I now see them as an asset.
school
In school, I was an underachiever.
play florida bass
Being down in Orlando, Florida, where we filmed the movie, I learned how to bass fish. Jerry Reed, who plays the villain in the movie, taught me how to bass fish.
character play brilliant
Adam Sandler is truly brilliant. He plays these goofy characters, but he is a brilliant fellow.
kids america way
I do most of my work with kids. They are the very foundation of our future. We are so incredibly disrespectful to them in America in every way because they can't vote.

The theater of my mind has a seating capacity of just one, and its sold out for all performances.
giving needs irony
Making a show is also economics. Because the irony is, or the shame of it is, you cannot create a show instantaneously. It needs to be massaged. You need to see who is relating to who. How is it working with the audience? You need to give it a chance for the audience to find it, because there are so many outlets. And the audience doesn't know where to go.
job learns sure
It is the parent's job to see how their child learns and to make sure that the children's self confidence is buoyed at all times, or they will plummet like a stone.
compelling television
If you make compelling television, they will come.
child compute learned learns
Not every child learns the same way. I could not learn through my eyes. Reading was impossible. Math, to compute it in my mind, was impossible. I learned everything through listening.
love plane scene
When I'm on a set, and I'm in between a scene or on a plane waiting, I read Twitter and I love it.
