Besides the fact that I make movies, there’s nothing interesting about my life at all, unfortunately.
I run and do a lot of push-ups and eat healthy.
I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, “People will LOVE the ninja version of that.”
I’m an actor, I’m not a comedian, I never was a comedian.
If I ever over hear people saying I give off an ‘Ed Harris type of sexy vibe.’ I’ll be pretty psyched.
I don’t like to say mean things about people’s hard work.
I love it, man; I’m 23 years old and I’m lucky enough to write movies as a job! I just feel really blessed and can’t believe it’s happening.
The hardest thing for me to do, and the best thing I’ve done and learned as an actor is to sacrifice being funny in certain circumstances in order to do something that makes sense for the story or the character, or emotionally.
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.
You really feel an obligation to someone when they’re trusting you to do something, and you promise that you’ll come through for them.
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.
I grew up with baseball; I played in Little League and went to games with my dad. But I, as I grew up, became more of a basketball fanatic than a baseball one.
Professionally, I feel like I won the lottery and I am the luckiest person in the entire world.
Be open to other people’s ideas. Don’t get arrogant about your ideas. Shoot a lot of options so you’re not stuck with just one version of something.
You just have to be strong and don’t be stupid; freedom of choice is a big responsibility.
Comedies are doing well because I think people want to laugh and not think about everything for a little bit.
I’m too judgmental of other people putting themselves out there in any way, I guess.
I’m a big hip hop fan.
I would never remake something that was like ‘The Godfather.’ Things that are truly important to me, I could never remake or reboot, or whatever.
I think it’s kind of strange when people talk about how hyped-up the movie is. It almost sets you up for a bigger fall.
