I spent a lot of time in London when I was growing up and I've always picked up accents without even really meaning to. It used to get me into trouble as a child.

It's infrequent that that happens - great performances and magical cinematography and great direction.

If you're deluded, you live in a place where there isn't everyone else's reality.

If you're showing people where it's smooth sailing, where is the joke? If you go back to any movie, even a conventional movie, with any comedians, they're either not terribly intelligent or they're not doing something well.

I used to joke for years that I was a black man. I adopted the black culture, the black race. I married a black woman, and I had black kids. I always considered myself a 'brother.'

I love to make people laugh, and I believe that laughter and song are the best way to help young children learn.

I love comedy. There's just something so great about making people laugh. And for me, too, whenever I laugh, it just makes me feel so much better just watching a great comedy.

My thinking is, if we're setting out to make comedy in which nothing is off limits, then everybody is fair game.
