I grew up in the '80s in L.A., so Ice Cube and Magic Johnson are my heroes.
Every time you're directing a movie you're kind of building a temporary business. You're hiring all these heads of departments, and it definitely feels like I'm like a CEO of a very temporary company.
I assume everything I do in life is gonna be a failure, and then if it turns up roses, then I'm psyched.
I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.
I have other tastes besides comedy. I love comedy. I adore it, but I love dramatic movies just as much.
Being in TV is insane. The notes you get sometimes, I just don't understand them.
I've never been into just really silly stuff.
It's not unexpected for me to be in a comedy film anymore; I'm no longer the underdog in that world.
I learn a lot from every director that I work with. I sit on set and watch them, every one.
The great romance of your youth is your best friend at that age.
Once you make a movie like 'Superbad,' when it's popular and you're the lead, you get offered all kinds of things and there's a temptation to make bad movies either for the money or to maintain your relevance in pop culture.
I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.
I'm really proud of 'Moneyball.' To me, it's about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when I'm an old man I'll be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. That's all I can really go for: making movies to please me.
A whole generation was raised to learn about comedy from 'The Simpsons.' To get to be in a booth with Homer and Marge and be in Springfield - it was unimaginable the emotions that I felt.
