I've probably done myself a disservice as a brand because the movies I've made. They've all been completely different. ”

I was in punk bands when I was a kid, and then I would do stand-up in between bands - which wasn't any different from my singing. ”

I just write the stuff that comes out of me, and then after that, I try to get it made. But I don't think, 'Will I get the money?' and 'Who's this made for?' ”

The environment on the sets of the movies I make, it's usually all friends and people that know each other, because no one's getting rich or making money, so it's always about, hopefully, that everyone's on the same page. ”

I like writing and directing. I enjoy telling stories, and I think it's born in a comedian to end up directing. ”

People seem to think that I'm not aware of how people perceive me. But I'm the one that has to talk about 'Police Academy' all day long 27 years later. I'm totally aware of it. ”

I was in this hamster wheel of being famous for being famous, much like a reality star. You would put me on a talkshow, I would say outrageous things. I was just perpetuating myself as a celebrity, and I found that really empty. ”

I'm really not a fan of letting the audience live vicariously through stuff. ”

In genre movies, you usually not only hate the characters, you sometimes hate them so much that you hate the actors playing them. ”

I always just felt more comfortable just kind of hiding behind a character than being myself onstage. ”
