I remember going with my mom to a random garage sale as a kid and thinking what a cool treasure hunt that whole world was. Only to transition as an adult to think, 'What a gross place that really is.'
'Elf' has become this big holiday movie, and I remember running around the streets of New York in tights saying, 'This could be the last movie I ever make,' and I could never have predicted that it'd become such a popular film.
You tend to get reluctant to talk about anything until the day before filming.
James Caan told me at the end of filming 'Elf' that he had been waiting through the whole film for me to be funny - and I never was.
I'm a Progressive. Much in the same way our founding fathers - who, oddly enough, wouldn't get elected today - were Progressives.
I have only been funny about seventy four per cent of the time. Yes I think that is right. Seventy-four per cent of the time.
I've always loved watching the news on TV. As a kid, I loved watching Walter Cronkite, for some reason.

I don't even consider myself an impressionist, really
What they have to offer is more valuable to parents because of the training, education and knowledge they have.
I did plenty of jobs that I hated. I was a bank teller and terrible at it. I parked cars, a valet. I answered phones. I somehow avoided being a waiter. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep the order straight. I'm not much of a multi-tasker.
