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.

Keeping an active mind has been vital to my survival, as has been maintaining a sense of humor.

I have to be careful not to do so many comedy airhead roles from now on. I've turned down a couple already.

It's just this little comedy about this group of guys, and their local hangout is a pool hall, and it's starting to get taken over by this big corporate, evil kind of guy. And it's just about them trying to save the day and their little pool hall in the process of it all. It's called 'Think Tank.'

I don't watch that much comedy. I think it's professional jealousy. That and a lack of support for my community.
