Whatever it takes, the job of the director is to be the leader and to get your actors where they need to go. That's a philosophy that I have.

It's no coincidence that 'Night at the Museum' completely blew the lid off my career. I finally got a handle on tone.

Even when I was a kid, I had a good thing with kids. To this day, if I go to a birthday party with one of my kids, I swear to you, I am so much happier hanging out with my kids and their friends than talking to the grown-ups.

I just think that sports movies have such a built-in visceral, rooting interest, an epic win or lose redemptive quality. When they get it right, it can make for a really rousing movie experience.

I don't think changing minds is possible with just comedy. It's too much to expect from your own art.

If the worst thing happening to Middle Eastern people is that Carlos Mencia is doing a joke about them being stopped at airports, that's a pretty awesome state of affairs.

I initially started making videos about my hair because I was struggling to style it and didn't know where to find help. Similarly, I started creating comedy content and doing characters and talking about things that were important to me because I didn't find a place to do that in the career that I wanted as an actress.

A sense of humor saves your life, and being able to make friends wherever you go.
