Uh, stay fat people - That's my motto. It's no picnic!
Oftentimes what happens actually is people say to me, 'I didn't know if it was you or not, and then I heard you laugh, and then obviously I could tell it was you.'
Are we gonna just make movies about trying to get laid over and over again or focus on something that's more relevant?
To me, what separates a funny movie from a good movie is something personal.
I feel like if I won an award and I was giving my speech and the music started, that's all I'd remember, the humiliation I felt when the music started. It would mar the entire experience for me.
In my sick brain, gruesome violence and comedy go as hand-to-hand together as anything else in the world.
It's much more painful to bomb in front of a group of yours peers than it is to not win. Tons of assholes ain't winning awards, but only one guy will be bombing. So, that's much more nerve-wracking.
I work under the assumption that, generally speaking, my taste and the taste of the Oscar voters are not one in the same.
All my friends are talented enough to get nominated for awards. I just am always surprised when things and people I like are also liked by things like the Oscars.
It's always funny to find what people's button is.
I watch a lot of TV. I love nothing more than having a good TV show on DVD, to just plow through.
I'm the person who writes most of my movies so every role is exactly what I want to be doing.
I go to the theater, all the time. I'm not one of these secret movie, watch a 35mm print in my living the weekend it comes out guys. I'm not Jon Bon Jovi. I go to the Arclight, like a regular asshole.
It's important to see your parents as individuals. As a son or as a daughter you don't stop and think that your parents might have their own expectations, dreams or disappointments.
