I just don't want to do a movie because it paid me a lot of money.

I still make more money as I do as an actor than director, however I don't want to be a commercial director.

For me, I have to love it and feel something for it because you're going to be stuck with it for two years, and if you don't love it it's going to look like that on screen.

Acting is the easiest money you'll ever make in your life, and directing is probably the hardest money.

Humor is laughing at what you haven't got when you ought to have it.

I don't know how you can do comedy once every two weeks. Ever since I started, if I'm off for three days, I got to learn how to do comedy again.

Yes, I was hired by Universal because they needed a comedy director. They had seen Scandal and liked it. I saw an opportunity even in those comedies to begin my project of American films.

It's just that, with comedy, the circumstances are just crazy-heightened, and you have these crazy things thrown at you. But you still have to do it truthfully, because that's where the humor comes from.
