Directors tend to be more underrated than overrated because it's a quiet job and people don't really understand it.

I think people like comedies and I think concept driven comedies seem to be working when it's a clear concept and you deliver funny stuff.

Bangkok, like Las Vegas, sounds like a place where you make bad decisions.

It's all about escapism. That's essentially what all movies are about. It's a vicarious thrill.

I really got into filmmaking through photography.

Music is just one of the tools a director has with which to paint and I think it's one of the most effective.

I was taught that you didn't want to be part of the group - that it was better to do your own thing.

Jesus Christ is the LORD. I believe in that.

How dare you have wino tell me not to do drugs.

She is my first and only love. Most people know that their first love will not be their only love. But for me, she is both.

I believe that love expands. As you give love out, it's received and reciprocated and it grows. That's the beauty of it.

I was ready to get out of the box and play something a little different than what everybody has seen.

England's bowlers have improved, I'll give them that.

I will eat anything, at least once. For better or worse.

You just never give up, no matter how hard the challenges are, and observe this world with a healthy dose of criticism and don't just follow the herd like somebody else might do.
