I grew up in the '80s in L.A., so Ice Cube and Magic Johnson are my heroes.
I'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.
Being in TV is insane. The notes you get sometimes, I just don't understand them.
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 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.
I mostly make R-rated movies. To make a movie that one day if I have kids or my nephews want t watch, I can show them without being put in prison. It would be really nice.
Look, at the same time that I don't want to be a celebrity, I understand that when you make movies you put yourself out in the public eye. I'd be a baby and a fool to be like, 'Why are there cameras taking pictures of me?' when I'm on a billboard for a movie. I think that's a very absurd concept.
