I am very much looking forward to new adventures - including, I hope, Broadway - sooner rather than later.

In any given project, there are a few moments where there is the usual disappointment, as it were, when you look in the mirror, and you realize you're not 23 and looking like Brad Pitt.

A lot of the films I've done have links to other movies that I've directed in the past.

I'm very conscious of the fact the directing career has taken some odd turns. Maybe there's enough bulk where I'm now pigeonholed in the 'eclectic box.'

I value humor, kindness, and the ability to tell a good story far more than money, status, or the kind of car someone drives.

I think comedy is something I enjoy, so it comes effortlessly.

I'm promoting positivity. I'm promoting happiness and loving yourself and having fun. But it's not a joke.

When I did stand-up at U.C.B., and I had a blog for a couple of years that started my writing career, 'Totally Confident and Completely Insecure,' it was the same kind of self-deprecating humor and stories about being out in L.A. and being treated like a loser at a hair salon because you are not famous.
