New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in 'Pinocchio.'
I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.
I play a lot of games on my iPhone. There is a game called Rat on a Scooter that I will promote as much as possible because it has brought me so much joy.
When you go out to make something, you want it to be great. You need to put a bubble around that, so no one can get into the force field and change what you're setting out to make. That's all us being producers is doing, is allowing our power to protect the integrity of what you're doing.
I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.
If you're trying to make someone happy, you gotta try and make them happy. If you're trying to have a normal conversation, you've got to have a normal conversation. If you're trying to make them sad, you've got to make them sad. I think that's how you get real performances out of people.
It wasn't like, 'I'ma lose weight and start doing dramas.' I wanted to be healthier, and that was the impetus for wanting to lose weight - it's just about being healthy and feeling good.
Jump Street merging with MiB I think that's clean and rad and powerful.
I mean, I find things that happened in real life to be the funniest - things that you observe instead of crazy abstract things, you know.
As a writer, I haven't delved into dramatic writing. As an actor, I could always, even more so than comedy, do drama.
When I look at interviews from when I was that age, I come off different than how I am because I've matured - and I've matured, become a man in front of the public eye.
People are so funny. There's no winning with commenters or anonymous people. They'd be rude that I was overweight, and now they're rude that I'm healthy.
I have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy. I adore it, but I love dramatic movies just as much.
You have more of a responsibility to make the audience laugh. In comedy, we do have to say, "All right, it's been two minutes in the film. We need another laugh here." With drama, there's no pressure in that regard. It's a different kind of pressure, but it's not like we need to make someone laugh.
