I was very specific as to what the special would be because I had just directed Jon and Dennis. The difference was that mine included a lot more stand-up and Larry's included more behind-the-scenes.
I don't care what I do - act, stand-up, write, direct - it doesn't matter as long as I'm being creative and it's good work.
Directing is really my favorite thing to do, but if I never directed again, I'd be okay if all the work I did was good.
Parents have got to chill out. Let your kid eat dirt - they're gonna be fine!
The only thing that I demand of the audience is that they listen to what I'm saying. Other than that, they owe me nothing. They don't owe me a thing.
Why do I want to be challenged or have challenges? That's why I don't go climb mountains.
He was right. I could have brought the idea to a million other people, and we wouldn't be talking about a great show.
I have gone to many theaters where it is so unpleasant with the commercials before the movie, the volume, and the disrespect of the filmgoers. So I understand people not wanting to go to the theater.
Certainly early on, I kind of modeled myself after Steve Martin and Bill Murray. I would imitate them sometimes.
She makes every scene she's in better, ... I'm sorry if that's boring, but she's a rock. She's just that fantastic.
I've avoided doing network shows because I don't think they're true to real families.
First off, I don't do self-deprecation comedy based on being fat. I would always talk about it honestly. Secondly, I don't care how much I weigh.
Acting's fine if the script's written by Paddy Chayefsky and Martin Scorsese directs it, but unless you have something like that, I don't really enjoy acting.
I have the bigger iPad, but the Mini is the best. It just seems perfect. The old one seems so big and heavy. I like simple and clean.
