The guy I've never worked with that is pissing me off is Tom Hanks. I want to work with Tom Hanks more than anyone.
If I was not allowed to mention that I was in the film industry, I could go six months without getting a kiss.
I do know this: When somebody has to look great on the screen, that's the death of funny.
I always loved Kate Winslet, but after you meet her you really love her because she's a cool chick.
If you work with Jim Carrey, you're working with the best.
Everything's a lot easier when you work with someone you know just about as well as you know yourself.
We really love all sports, but we don't think in the long term. The reason we did Kingpin was because there was a script we really liked and we saw the possibilities.
Anybody who is a fan of any team is going to recognize themselves in this.
They're happy to be Siamese twins. They feel blessed. But the rest of us have to go through the world alone. And they don't. And because they have this great attitude, they have a lot of friends. They were the kings of the prom. You know, they were in the state championship hockey team. You know, they're the goalie. And it's just they're a couple of winners who happen to be Siamese twins.
Movie 43 is about the hardest R Rated comedy ever.
To the critics: You always complain that Hollywood never gives you new stuff, and then when you get it, you flip out. Lighten up.
We've had no problems with the actors, but we keep a really loose set.
Nine out of 10 times these guys will hit it-they'll be on something incredibly funny, but one out of 10, two out of 10, they'll fall flat on their faces. That's what makes them great actors: they take those chances, they don't play it safe.
There are a lot of laughs in this movie, but it's not just about the laughs. It's really about the story, about a guy who finds his soul and realizes what's truly important.
