I got scared away from the whole writing and producing thing, because of how really, truly difficult this was.

My parents went crazy when they found out that I had gotten the part in 'Conversations With My Father!' I'd never given acting a thought. They were proud of me and very encouraging.

What's great is that because math is such a universal language, really, our fans come in all shapes and sizes, all ages and genders and races and backgrounds and cultures.

So many shows out there dumb-down the country. It's so admirable to be part of a show that wants people to think.

[10 Things I Hate About You] was the most fun I ever had making a movie. Everyone got along really, really well from day one. It was like summer camp.

There is only so much I can understand and not screw up.

[Lauren Ambrose's] character [in Can't Hardly Wait] feels real and unexaggerated and becomes sort of a heroine archetype. I think that was cool. It wasn't in every one of those comedies.

Obviously [Can't Hardly Wait] wasn't in American Pie, which was a movie about some teenage boys.

I lost some weight, grew my hair and now every woman in America over 40 wants to date me. It's their daughters I want to convince.

You do not need to think about a month, you need to plan the day

If money is your hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.

When I was younger, I think I intimidated people much more because I was far more insecure.

Where I have problems is when I am in the midst of doing something that I am completely focused on, and then I am asked to buy shoes or something.

No amount of makeup can mask an ugly heart.

At the end of the day, every media entity is in the business of selling soap. They're not afraid of being popular.

I know: "Guns Don't Kill People." But I suspect that they have something to do with it. If you point your finger at someone and say, "Bang, bang, you're dead," not much actually happens.

Don't get in my personal life.
