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 like playing characters that, you know, a couple could go see the movie and one person could love him and one person could hate him.
I'm very, very attracted to morally ambiguous characters, not just pure bad guys or pure good guys.
I always wanted to be a film-maker when I was younger, not an actor. I was an eight-year-old who dreamed of being a writer on 'The Simpsons,' which was a weird dream to have. But I started taking acting classes as a way to learn how to direct actors and I sort of fell in love with it.
Germany's amongst my top three places in the world I'd like to live.
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'm a lifelong Simpsons fanatic and I wanted to create my own animated show, one day.
Jump Street merging with MiB I think that's clean and rad and powerful.
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.
Being in TV is insane. The notes you get sometimes, I just don't understand them.
